Stair, Deck & Fence Staining in Toronto
Daily foot traffic indoors and Ontario's hot summers and freezing winters outdoors are tough on wood. Staining and varnishing helps protect your stairs, deck, fence, doors and trim, and brings back their natural warmth and color.
What it is
Wood Staining and Varnishing, Done Right
We stain and varnish outdoor wood like decks, fences, pergolas and railings, and indoor wood like stairs, railings, doors, trim and built-ins. Stain soaks into the wood to add color and protection, while varnish creates a clear, durable top layer.
Before we apply anything, we clean the wood, remove old flaking finish where needed and sand the surface, so the new finish goes on evenly and holds up longer.

FAQ
Staining & Varnishing FAQs
It depends on the type of wood, the stain used and how much sun and traffic the deck gets. During our visit, we'll look at your deck and recommend a maintenance schedule that makes sense for it.
Stain soaks into the wood and lets the grain show through, while paint forms a solid layer on top. Stain is usually the preferred choice for decks because it shows the natural wood look.
Late spring to early fall, on dry days with mild temperatures. The wood also needs to be dry before staining, so we plan the work around the forecast.
New wood often needs some time to dry out before it can absorb stain properly. We'll check your deck and tell you when it's ready.
