What We Stain: Decks, Fences & Siding
Decks
Protect and bring out the natural beauty of your decks with exterior stains and finishes suited to Oregon sun and rain.
Fences
Fence staining refreshes curb appeal and helps wood shed moisture. We help you choose the right coating for the project.
Siding & more
Exterior stains work on siding and other exterior wood—not just decks. The sun and weather can be brutal on unprotected wood.
Oil vs waterborne
Stains can be oil or waterborne acrylic-based. While oil stains penetrate deeper, water-based stands up best to the sun. Talk with us to choose the best system.
Protection from water
Stains carry resins and oils into wood fibers. Those resins help protect wood from water so decks and siding last longer.
UV protection
Pigments add color and shield wood from the sun’s UV rays—critical for south- and west-facing exposures in the Portland metro.
Portland metro cities
Exterior stains & finishes for Portland, Beaverton, Lake Oswego, West Linn, Tigard, Wilsonville, and surrounding cities.
Prep before stain
Clean, ready wood takes stain better. We often coordinate with pressure washing when surfaces need a reset first.

Frequently Asked Questions about Exterior Stains in Portland
Paint or stain for a deck in Portland?
Stain usually wins for decks that should show wood grain and shed moisture. Solid paint can hide flaws but may peel on horizontal boards. We recommend based on wood condition.
How many coats of stain does a deck need?
Often two thin coats for oil systems, or as the product label specifies. Over-applying causes tackiness and uneven wear—more is not better.
How often should I re-stain in the Northwest?
Many decks need a maintenance coat every 2–4 years depending on sun and traffic. We can inspect and spot-treat high-wear zones.
Oil or waterborne stain?
Oil stains penetrate deeper; water-based stands up best to the sun. Talk with us to choose the best system for your exterior stains and finishes project.
