Signs It’s Time to Stain Your Deck or Pergola
-
It's Been 4-5 Years (or More) Since the Last Stain – Most decks and pergolas need staining every few years to maintain protection and appearance. If it’s been a while, it’s likely time for a refresh.
-
Water No Longer Beads on the Surface – If water soaks into the wood instead of beading up, the protective layer has worn off, making your deck or pergola more vulnerable to moisture damage.
-
You Notice Cracking or Splitting – Over time, unprotected wood can dry out, crack, or splinter. Staining helps seal and protect the wood, preventing further damage.
-
Mildew or Mold Growth Appears – If you see dark spots or patches of mold and mildew, it’s a sign that moisture is being absorbed. A new stain will help protect against future growth and decay.
-
Peeling or Chipping Stain – If the previous stain has started to peel or chip, it’s time to remove the old layers and apply a fresh coat to restore the protective barrier and appearance.
We typically recommend staining your deck every 3-5 years to maintain its protection and appearance. Over time, weather exposure can wear down the stain, leaving your deck vulnerable to moisture, UV damage, and wear. Reapplying stain every few years helps keep the wood sealed, vibrant, and resistant to the elements.
In addition to staining, we advise washing your deck annually. Regular cleaning removes dirt, grime, and organic matter that can promote mold or mildew growth. Washing your deck helps maintain its appearance and ensures the surface is properly prepared for the next staining application. Together, these maintenance steps help extend the life of your deck and keep it looking great for years to come.
