Professional deck staining, sealing, and painting in Beaumont, TX

Why Your Deck Needs Protection

Wood decks face constant attack from sun, rain, humidity, and temperature changes. Without proper protection, wood dries out, cracks, fades to gray, and eventually rots. Regular staining or sealing prevents this damage and keeps your deck looking fresh for years.

At BDD Beaumont Deck Builder, we provide professional deck finishing services that protect your investment and enhance its appearance. Whether your deck is new and needs its first coat or old and needs restoration, we have the expertise to do it right. We have been serving Beaumont since 2024 with quality finishing work.

Our Deck Finishing Services

We offer three main types of deck finishing, each with specific benefits:

  • Deck Staining: Penetrates wood to provide protection while enhancing natural grain. Available in transparent, semi-transparent, and solid colors. Lets wood breathe while blocking UV damage.
  • Deck Sealing: Creates a protective barrier against moisture without changing wood color. Clear sealers maintain natural wood appearance while preventing water damage and mildew.
  • Deck Painting: Provides maximum coverage and color options. Hides imperfections and offers strong protection. Best for older decks or when you want a specific color that matches your home.
  • Combination Products: Modern stain and seal products combine both benefits in one application, saving time and providing comprehensive protection.

Our Professional Application Process

Proper preparation makes all the difference between a finish that lasts one year and one that lasts three or four years. We never skip steps to save time.

Step 1: Deep Cleaning

We start with thorough cleaning using professional deck cleaners and pressure washing. This removes dirt, mildew, old finish, and gray weathered wood. The surface must be completely clean for new finish to adhere properly.

Step 2: Repairs and Prep

Before applying finish, we fix any loose boards, replace damaged wood, and sand rough areas. We also check and tighten all fasteners. Your deck needs to be in good condition before we seal it in with finish.

Step 3: Proper Application

We apply stain, sealant, or paint using the right method for the product and weather conditions. Some products are best brushed, others sprayed or rolled. We work in manageable sections and maintain wet edges to avoid lap marks.

Step 4: Drying and Curing

We time our work around weather forecasts to ensure proper drying. Most finishes need 24 to 48 hours to dry fully before you can use the deck. Some products benefit from a second coat for maximum protection.

Choosing the Right Finish for Your Deck

The best finish depends on your deck's age, wood type, and your preferences. Here is how to decide:

For New Decks

Clear or semi-transparent stain works best on new wood. It lets the natural grain show while providing UV and moisture protection. If you built a new wood deck, this is usually the right choice.

For Older Decks

Solid stain or paint works better on decks that have weathered or show imperfections. These provide more coverage and can make an old deck look nearly new again.

For Beaumont's Climate

Our hot, humid weather requires products formulated for tough conditions. We use finishes with mildewcides and strong UV blockers that hold up in Southeast Texas. Avoid cheap products that will fail in less than a year.

Maintaining Your Deck Finish

No finish lasts forever. Even the best products need to be reapplied every two to four years, depending on sun exposure and wear. Here is what you need to know:

Watch for signs that your deck needs refinishing: water no longer beads up on the surface, wood is turning gray, or you see areas where finish has worn off. The sooner you recoat, the easier the job and the better the results. Waiting too long means more cleaning and prep work.

Between refinishing, clean your deck once or twice a year with a mild cleaner. This removes dirt and mildew before they can damage the finish or wood. Simple maintenance extends the life of your finish and your deck. If your deck has bigger problems than just the finish, check out our deck repair services.
