Colorado's climate is beautiful—and brutal on wood decks. The intense UV exposure at elevation, the dramatic temperature swings between seasons, and the combination of dry summers and snowy winters all accelerate the deterioration of unprotected or under-maintained deck surfaces. A deck that was beautiful when it was built can look weathered, gray, and uninviting within just a few years if it isn't properly maintained. The Do It All Brothers provides professional deck staining and refinishing services that protect your investment, restore your deck's appearance, and extend its useful life significantly.


Deck staining is not just about aesthetics—it is an essential form of maintenance that protects the structural integrity of the wood itself. Untreated or inadequately treated deck boards absorb moisture, expand and contract with temperature changes, crack and split, and become vulnerable to rot and insect damage. A quality staining application creates a protective barrier that keeps moisture out and the wood's natural structure intact. Done right, deck staining every few years is one of the most cost-effective maintenance investments a Colorado homeowner can make.

Our Deck Staining Process

Polish

Thorough Surface Preparation

The single most important factor in a lasting deck stain application is surface preparation. Paint and stain failures are almost always the result of inadequate prep—not inferior products. We clean the deck thoroughly to remove dirt, mildew, algae, and any residue from previous coatings. We sand or strip existing coatings where necessary and allow the wood to dry to the appropriate moisture content before any product is applied.

Product Selection

The right stain product for your deck depends on the species and condition of the wood, the level of existing weathering, whether the deck is in direct sun or partial shade, and your preference for appearance—from a clear sealer that preserves the wood's natural look to a solid color stain that provides maximum UV protection. We walk you through the options and help you choose the right product for your specific deck and climate exposure.

Paint Roller

Professional Application

We apply deck stain products carefully and evenly, working with the grain of the wood and ensuring consistent coverage without lapping marks, pooling, or missed sections. We protect adjacent surfaces, plants, and structures throughout the process and clean up fully when the work is complete.

Deck Staining FAQs

  • How often does a deck need to be stained in Colorado?

    In Colorado's climate, most wood decks benefit from staining or resealing every two to three years. Decks in full sun at higher elevations may need attention more frequently due to intense UV exposure. A simple test: if water no longer beads on the surface and instead soaks in, the deck's protective coating has failed, and it's time for a new application. The Do It All Brothers can assess your deck's current condition and recommend the appropriate timing and product during a free estimate—call (719) 470-2767.

  • Can you stain a deck that has already been painted?

    A deck that has been painted with a solid opaque coating typically needs to have that coating removed before a penetrating stain can be applied—paint creates a film on the surface that prevents stain from penetrating the wood. In some cases, applying a new coat of solid color stain over old paint is a viable approach. We assess existing coatings during our estimate visit and recommend the most appropriate course of action for your specific deck's condition.

  • Does the deck need to be power washed before staining?

    Yes—proper cleaning is essential before staining. For most decks, this includes pressure washing to remove dirt, mildew, and surface contamination, followed by a wood brightener application to open the wood's pores and ensure proper stain penetration. The deck must then be allowed to dry fully before staining begins. We handle all surface preparation as part of our deck staining service.
