WHAT'S INCLUDED

Decks done by hand. Stains that actually last.

An Upstate deck takes a beating — sun in summer, freeze-thaw in winter, and the occasional ice storm that leaves boards swelling. A deck stain is only as good as the prep underneath it, and most contractors pressure-wash, let it dry an hour, and slap a coat on. Six months later it's peeling. We strip the old stain to bare wood, sand the surface flat, replace any failed boards or hardware, then brush — not spray — two coats of a premium penetrating stain into the grain. The result is a deck that sheds water, takes foot traffic, and still looks rich in color two summers from now.

  • Full strip and sand to bare wood
  • Replace failed boards and rusted hardware (added cost)
  • Premium semi-transparent or solid-color stains
  • Hand-brushed application, not spray-and-run
  • Two coats with proper dry-time between
  • Railings, posts, steps, and pickets included
  • Sealed for water and UV protection

FROM OUR NEIGHBORS

Word travels around here.

Stripped my Lake Hartwell deck back to bare wood and stained it by hand. Two coats. Real project — probably 4 days of work — and they did not cut a single corner.

SERVICE AREA

Proudly serving the Upstate of South Carolina.

We're based in the Upstate and we stay in the Upstate — same-day responses, local references, and a crew that knows the difference between a 1920s Augusta Road bungalow and a Lake Keowee waterfront home.

Outside this list? Call us anyway — we travel for the right project.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Questions, answered straight.

A typical 300-sq-ft deck runs $700–$1,400 depending on whether we strip old stain, sand to bare wood, or just clean and re-stain a maintained surface. Adding railings, posts, and steps adds linear-foot pricing. Every estimate is line-itemed.
