Deck Staining

A wood deck provides a warm, handsome connection with the outdoors, adding to a Houston home’s beauty and setting the stage for a world of outdoor activities. Decks take a lot of abuse, both from use and through continued exposure to the harsh Houston weather. After a few years, they become weathered and unfriendly without proper care.


The Heights painters uses premium penetrating transparent tinted coatings. They are not film forming finishes like paint, or shellac. When wood is prepped properly and the penetrating deck stains are applied properly they will last for many years to come. The tint (color) acts as a UV-Ray absorbent, which inhibits the sun from discoloring the wood.

The road to restoring a deck’s great looks is usually simple, regardless of the type of wood used. First you clean it, then you diagnose and treat any discoloration, then you repair and/or replace rotten wood, and last you protect the result with a durable finish.
Our typical restoration process:
  • Cleaning debris that clogs the spaces between deck boards and traps moisture, encouraging mildew and rot. We blast out the debris, using a power washer then we push out remaining debris with a laminate scoring tool.
  • Wood Repair/Replacement
    • Make minor repairs and replace all rotten wood.
    • Counter sink existing screws as needed and add new screws as needed
    • Sand all surfaces
  • Let the deck dry for a 24-48 hours after washing, we must allow the deck to dry for a couple of clear days before applying any finish. Then we will tape, mask and tarp.
  • Apply premium deck stain and sealer by roller and brush. We use the best product for each situation. Though some people choose paint for their decks, most choose to take advantage of the natural beauty of expensive decking woods by choosing a clear or lightly stained finish. If you do choose paint for your deck, we will always use a stain-blocking oil or alkyd primer first.
  • Thorough clean up of the job site upon completion
  • We will always follow up to make sure the work preformed meets your needs and expectations
