About / Value Proposition
From gray and tired to wood you can see again
A deck that has gone gray isn't ruined. The gray is a thin layer of weathered fibers and mildew sitting on wood that is usually still sound underneath, and Marietta's humid summers keep that layer growing. That's why a deck in East Cobb or Whitlock Heights can look far older than it is. We wash it back to clean wood, set the popped nails, swap out boards that have gone soft, and let everything dry before any stain goes on. The finish we use resists mildew, because this climate tests every deck.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to the most common questions
When is the best time for deck staining in Marietta?
Marietta's humid-subtropical summers and heavy spring pollen mean exterior repaints do best from late spring through fall, after the oak-and-pine pollen settles. We use mildew-resistant coatings to handle the humidity.
Who permits residential work in Marietta?
Residential work inside the city is permitted through the City of Marietta; unincorporated areas fall under Cobb County. Deck Staining projects rarely need a permit on their own, but we confirm before scheduling so nothing stalls mid-job.
Do you serve my neighborhood in Marietta?
Yes. We cover all of Marietta and the surrounding Cobb County, including Marietta Square, East Cobb, West Side, Whitlock Heights, in ZIP codes 30060, 30062, 30064, 30066, 30067, 30068. Send us your address and we'll confirm the schedule for your area.
How much does deck staining cost?
The size of the deck, how many railings and stairs it has, the condition of the wood, and whether old stain has to come off first set the price. The estimate is free and itemized, with cleaning, repairs, and stain on separate lines.
Which stain should I use: transparent, semi-transparent, or solid?
Transparent and semi-transparent stains soak into the wood and let the grain show. Solid stain covers more like paint and hides worn boards, patches, and old color. On an older deck with mismatched boards, solid usually looks best; on newer wood with good grain, semi-transparent shows it off.
How long will the stain last?
It depends on sun, shade, and foot traffic. Floor boards and stair treads wear first, and railings hold up longer. When water stops beading on the boards or the color looks washed out, a maintenance coat brings the deck back for less than starting over.
Do you clean the deck before staining?
Every time. Stain only bonds to clean, dry wood, so the deck is washed to remove dirt, mildew, and the gray layer of weathered fibers, then left to dry completely before any stain goes on.
Section / About
Local Deck Staining Experts You Can Trust
We've served Marietta homeowners for more than ten years, and we know what Georgia weather does to a deck left on its own. An older deck with mismatched boards usually looks best in a solid stain. A deck with good grain is worth showing off with a semi-transparent one, and we'll tell you honestly which yours is.
Rolling stain over a gray, dirty deck looks fine for a summer, then peels and blotches because it never reached the wood. We clean down to sound fibers first and stain only when the boards are dry, so the color soaks in and holds up through Marietta's humid months.
