What's included

Every deck and fence is different, but a staining job typically includes:

  • Covering plants, siding and nearby surfaces
  • Cleaning the wood where needed to remove dirt and mildew (see pressure washing)
  • Letting the wood dry before any stain goes on
  • Stain applied the way the product label directs, with a second coat where needed
  • Clean-up when the job is done.

Your written quote lists what's included for your deck or fence.

Good to know in Wisconsin

  • Stain needs clean, dry wood. Sherwin-Williams says the surface should be clean, dry and free from mildew before stain goes on.
  • It needs dry weather after, too. Sherwin-Williams' deck guide says to confirm no rain for 24 to 48 hours. When the forecast won't cooperate, it's better to wait.
  • The label sets the temperature. Each stain lists its own limits, and drying times change with temperature and humidity.
  • New wood may need time. Brand-new boards aren't always ready for stain right away. Text us a photo and tell us when the deck was built.

Staining is warm-weather work here. Reach out any time and we'll tell you plainly when your project can fit.

Common questions

My deck is brand new. Can you stain it right away?

Maybe not. New wood isn't always ready for stain, and the timing depends on the wood and the product. Text us a photo and the date it was built, and we'll tell you what we'd check.

What if rain is in the forecast?

Then it's usually better to wait. Stain needs dry wood going in and dry weather afterward.

Do you stain fences too?

Yes. We clean and stain both decks and fences.

Are estimates free, and are you insured?

Yes to both. The estimate is free, and L&N Painters LLC is Insured (general liability).

Do you offer a warranty?

1-year written workmanship warranty on every job.
