Peeling, flaking stain can't be fixed with another coat. We take it off and start the deck over on clean wood.
About / Value Proposition
Solid stain and paint on a deck tend to fail the same way: they peel on the boards that stay wet longest and stay stuck everywhere else. On wooded riverside lots in Riverside and High Point, shade and leaf litter keep boards damp, and that is where the flaking starts. A new coat over it only peels along with the old one. We strip the failing finish, sand the boards back to sound wood, replace any that have rotted, and restain once everything is dry, with a product suited to how much sun your deck really gets.
Our deck staining comes with a 5-year workmanship warranty.

How we work
Restoring a peeling Sandy Springs deck happens in three stages.
We find where the stain is failing and why, check the boards for rot, and give you an itemized quote with stripping, repairs, and stain on separate lines.
We remove the peeling finish, sand back to sound wood, and replace rotted boards.
Once the wood is dry, the new stain goes on in even coats, and we walk the deck with you.
Brands We Trust
We work with industry-leading paints and materials for a durable, high-quality finish.
“The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.”

Sandy Springs mixes dense in-town homes with wooded riverside lots. Both get heavy spring pollen and humid summers, so we plan exterior work for the drier late-spring-to-fall window.
Residential work is permitted through the City of Sandy Springs. Deck Staining projects rarely need a permit on their own, but we confirm before scheduling so nothing stalls mid-job.
Yes. We cover all of Sandy Springs and the surrounding Fulton County, including City Springs, Riverside, Sandy Springs Heights, High Point, in ZIP codes 30328, 30342, 30350, 30319. Send us your address and we'll confirm the schedule for your area.
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.
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.
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.
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
We've served Sandy Springs homeowners for more than ten years, on dense in-town streets near City Springs and on wooded lots by the river. Decks under trees are where peeling finishes show up most, and stripping them properly is what fixes them.
Brushing fresh stain over flaking stain looks like a fix for a few weeks. Then both layers lift together. We strip down to clean wood and choose a stain for the light your Sandy Springs deck actually gets, so the new finish wears evenly instead of peeling.
