Deck & Fence Staining in Richmond, VA
Professional Wood Staining for Decks, Fences & Outdoor Living
Wood adds warmth and charm to outdoor spaces — but Virginia sun, rain, and humidity break it down fast without protection. RG Pro Painters stains and seals decks, fences, railings, pergolas, and porches across Richmond, Mechanicsville, and Chesterfield.
Our Staining Process
- Deep cleaning and brightening (stripping old failing finishes when needed)
- Sanding to open the wood grain for better absorption
- Your choice of transparent, semi-transparent, or solid-color stain
- Water-repellent sealing for maximum protection
When to Stain
If your deck boards look dry, gray, or splintered — or water no longer beads on the surface — it’s time. Re-staining every 2–3 years keeps wood healthy, safe, and beautiful for the long haul, and costs far less than replacing rotted boards later.
Have a paver patio or stamped concrete nearby? Ask about patio sealing while we’re there — one visit, whole backyard protected.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does deck staining cost in Richmond?
Most decks fall between $600 and $1,800 depending on square footage, railing detail, and how much prep or stripping is needed. Fences are quoted by linear foot. Call (804) 781-2177 for a free quote.
How often should a deck or fence be re-stained in Virginia?
Every 2–3 years for horizontal deck surfaces and 3–5 years for vertical fences. Virginia’s UV and humidity are hard on horizontal boards, so decks need attention more often.
What's the difference between semi-transparent and solid stain?
Semi-transparent shows the wood grain and gives a natural look; solid stain acts more like paint, hiding weathering and old color while still protecting the wood. We’ll show you samples on your actual wood before you decide.
Can you stain a brand-new deck or fence?
New pressure-treated lumber needs to dry out first — usually 1–3 months. We’ll test the moisture level and schedule your staining at the right time so the finish bonds properly.
