Wood Deck Staining Process

Our deck staining process includes cleaning, sealing, and staining to restore beauty and protect the wood.

Cleaning & Stripping Deck Surface

Each successful Wood Deck Restoration project start with surface preparation. The first step is to strip and clean previous Stains, Mold and Mildew on the wood surface. We use professional grade strippers and Cleaning Solutions to ensure every inch of the Deck is Cleaned. We use softwash technique to ensure that the wood surface is not damaged in any way. Wood Brightener is used after cleaning to get the wood back to the original look.

Sanding

The second step is Sanding. Even with careful application and Softwash Technique, there will be furring in the wood surface which has to be Sanded down in order to provide a smooth surface for best quality results. This is a very time consuming process which takes about half a day on average on medium sized decks. Inexperienced Contractors might skip this step to save time and money which results in sub standard results leaving unsatisfied customers.

Staining

Finally, it's time to give the deck a makeover it deserves by applying high quality self leveling stains. The most critical aspect of staining is to ensure that there is no overspray on the building or surrounding areas and hence proper masking is essential. We apply our stains with a combination of sprayers and brush and rollers to ensure that every inch of the deck is covered and has an even look and finish.

Josh Clemmons

Ninja Fence cleaned and stained my backyard fence. They did a terrific job. They performed their task efficiently and cleaned up the area when complete. Nod definitely use them again!

Carol Gilley

I had my fence replaced a year ago, and Ninja stained the interior. I was very pleased with their work ethic (they protected nearby surfaces) and work quality. I cannot imagine anyone wanting to let their wood fence age and look old. I love what the color has done for all the "fence art" I hang. I highly recommend this company.

Pat D.

I will definitely hire Ninja again. They showed up when agreed, did professional work and left things clean when they were done.

Paul H.

We invited Ninja Staining to quote us on a project. They were very open and honest, particularly because we have a new deck with a poor finish. We chose not to go ahead because of the risks to the wood from removing the existing finish. We will certainly invite them back in 3-4 years when the deck will require further treatment.

Marco S.

such a great experience, immediate reply to all my question, clear and precise with communication, high standard of work both in quality, value and schedule.
