Deck & Fence Painting FAQs

The best deck and fence contractors prep surfaces properly, replace damaged wood, and use premium exterior products. At Pro Painting & More, we’ve completed deck and fence projects across Springfield, Missouri since 2024 using professional pressure washing and surface prep, wood repair and replacement when needed, and premium Sherwin-Williams exterior stains and paints. Our team has 50 years of combined experience, we’re PCA members, and every project is backed by our 3-year workmanship warranty and Always On-Time Promise. We’re not the cheapest — we’re the ones homeowners trust when they want decks and fences that look great and last for years.

Deck and fence staining typically costs $3-8 per square foot depending on wood condition, finish type, and project size. Small decks (100-250 sq ft) or short fence sections cost $1,500-$2,500. Average decks (250-500 sq ft) or 50-100 linear feet of fencing cost $2,500-$4,500. Large decks (500+ sq ft) or complete fence installations cost $4,500-$8,000+. Factors affecting cost include wood repair and board replacement needs, finish selection (transparent stain vs. solid paint), surface condition (weathered gray wood requires more prep), and number of coats. We provide detailed written estimates with transparent pricing and no hidden fees. What we quote is what you pay. Schedule your free estimate for exact pricing based on your specific project.

Absolutely. Deck and fence staining protects your investment from Missouri‘s weather damage — sun, rain, humidity, and temperature swings that cause wood rot, cracking, and deterioration. Untreated wood decks fail within 5-7 years, requiring expensive replacement ($8,000-$15,000). Quality staining extends deck life to 15-25 years with proper maintenance. Staining costs $3-8 per sq ft versus $25-40 per sq ft to rebuild. Fences are similar — staining protects boards from rot and extends lifespan dramatically. Well-maintained outdoor wood also boosts curb appeal and home value. Buyers notice neglected decks and fences during showings. Professional staining delivers strong ROI through protection, longevity, and aesthetic appeal.

In Missouri, the best time for deck and fence staining is March through October when temperatures stay between 50-85°F with low humidity. Spring (April-May) and fall (September-October) offer ideal conditions — moderate temperatures, lower humidity, and consistent weather for proper curing. Summer works but requires early morning application to avoid extreme heat. We avoid November through February due to cold temperatures, moisture, and unpredictable weather that prevent proper stain penetration and curing. Stain needs 24-48 hours of dry weather after application. Wood should be completely dry before staining. We’ll help you schedule during optimal conditions for your project during your free estimate.

Deck and fence stain longevity depends on product type and application quality. Transparent stains last 2-3 years (minimal pigment, less UV protection). Semi-transparent stains last 3-5 years (more pigment, better protection). Semi-solid stains last 4-6 years (significant coverage). Solid-color stains last 5-7 years (maximum pigment and protection). Exterior paint lasts 7-10 years (complete coverage). Factors affecting longevity include sun exposure (south-facing surfaces fade faster), foot traffic (horizontal deck boards wear more quickly than vertical fence boards), wood type (cedar and redwood hold stain better than pine), and maintenance (annual cleaning extends life). Our installations use premium Sherwin-Williams products and proper prep for maximum durability. Every project is backed by our 3-year workmanship warranty.

Stain penetrates wood, enhancing grain while protecting from within. Paint sits on the surface, creating a protective film. Key differences: Stain shows wood grain (transparent to semi-solid coverage), requires less surface prep (penetrates rather than adheres), needs reapplication every 3-7 years, and is easier to maintain (clean and recoat without stripping). Paint hides wood grain completely, requires thorough prep and priming, lasts 7-10 years with proper application, and requires stripping when it fails. For decks, most homeowners prefer stain (shows natural beauty, easier maintenance). For fences, both work well — stain for a natural look, paint for a bold color or matching home exterior. We’ll help you choose during your free estimate based on your wood type, desired look, and maintenance preferences.

Yes, but proper prep is critical. Weathered gray wood has damaged surface fibers that must be removed before staining or painting. We pressure wash to remove loose fibers and mildew, sand or brighten wood to expose fresh wood underneath, apply wood brightener to neutralize tannins and restore color (if staining), and ensure wood is completely dry before application. Severely weathered wood may need board replacement where rot has started. Gray weathered wood accepts solid-color stains and paint better than transparent stains (damaged fibers show through). Semi-solid or solid stains work best on older wood. We assess wood condition during your free estimate and recommend the appropriate finish based on wood health. Proper prep transforms gray, weathered wood into beautiful, protected surfaces.

Deck stain drying happens in stages. Light foot traffic is safe after 24-48 hours depending on temperature, humidity, and stain type. Full cure for furniture and heavy use takes 3-5 days. Oil-based stains require longer dry time (48-72 hours) than water-based (24-48 hours). Factors affecting dry time include weather conditions (warmer and drier cures faster), stain type and number of coats, wood type (porous woods absorb faster), and sun exposure (direct sun speeds drying). We only stain during optimal weather to ensure proper curing. Rushing use leads to footprints, scuffs, and premature wear. We provide specific timeline and care instructions during your project. Most decks are fully usable within one week of completion.

Deck and fence maintenance is simple and extends stain life significantly. Sweep or blow off debris regularly (leaves, dirt trap moisture against wood). Clean annually with mild deck cleaner and soft brush (removes mildew, dirt, pollen). Rinse thoroughly with garden hose or light pressure washing (avoid high pressure that damages wood). Move planters and furniture periodically (prevents moisture trapping and uneven fading). Trim vegetation away from fences (airflow prevents mold and moisture damage). Inspect annually for damage (loose boards, popped nails, rot starting). Recoat high-traffic areas as needed (deck stairs and walkways wear faster). Plan full reapplication every 3-7 years depending on stain type. Annual cleaning and inspection prevent major problems and extend the life of your stain significantly.

Yes. Part of our prep process includes identifying and repairing damaged wood. We replace rotted boards and sections, repair cracked or split boards, secure loose boards and railings, replace missing or damaged balusters, and ensure structural integrity before staining. This isn’t an “extra” — it’s part of doing the job right. Staining over damaged wood doesn’t fix problems; it hides them temporarily while rot continues underneath. If we find significant damage during our estimate inspection (major rot, structural issues, extensive board replacement needed), we’ll discuss repair options and costs upfront with transparent pricing. Our goal is a deck or fence that’s structurally sound and protected for years to come.

It depends on your goals. Staining adds color while protecting wood (pigments block UV damage). Sealing provides clear protection without changing color (maintains natural wood appearance). Most decks and fences benefit from stain (protection plus color enhancement). Clear sealers work best for new premium lumber like cedar or redwood where you want natural beauty to show, but they require reapplication every 1-2 years. Stain lasts longer (3-7 years) because pigments provide UV protection that clear sealers lack. For Missouri‘s climate with intense sun and moisture, we typically recommend semi-transparent or semi-solid stains for best durability and protection. We’ll help you choose during your free estimate based on your wood and preferences.
