Deck & Fence Staining
Protect and beautify your outdoor wood before winter does the damage
Professional Deck & Fence in Montreal and Alberta
Montreal and Alberta winters are brutal on untreated wood. Moisture, freeze-thaw cycles, UV radiation, and foot traffic will crack, grey, and rot an unprotected deck or fence within a few seasons. Our deck and fence staining service pressure-washes, preps, and applies penetrating oil-based or water-based stains and sealers that protect wood from the inside out. We use professional spray application for even penetration and complete coverage, including balusters and lattice that are nearly impossible to coat properly by hand.
What's Included
Everything you should expect from a professional job, all included, with no surprises.
How It Works
Our proven process, from first contact to final walkthrough.
Assessment & Stain Selection
We assess the wood species, condition, and any existing stain. We recommend a stain type and opacity level based on the wood condition and your visual preference.
Pressure Washing
A full pressure wash removes dirt, algae, mildew, and old chalking stain. This opens the wood grain for maximum stain penetration.
Sanding & Brightening
Rough or grey wood is sanded and a wood brightener is applied to restore natural tone and open the grain before staining.
Spray Stain Application
Stain is spray-applied for complete, even coverage, including between balusters, under railings, and across every board face and edge.
Back-Brush & Final Coat
A crew member back-brushes all spray-applied stain to work it into the grain. A second coat is applied where needed for solid coverage.
What Affects the Cost
Every project is different. These are the key factors that determine your final quote. There are no hidden fees, and you receive a detailed written breakdown before any work begins.
- Square footage of deck surface
- Number of balusters and railing sections
- Current condition of wood (new vs. weathered)
- Whether fence is included and its linear footage
- Stain type selected (oil vs. water-based, opacity level)

“Our cedar deck was turning grey and starting to show cracks. KERNI pressure washed it, sanded the rough spots, and applied a semi-transparent stain that brought it back to life. Looks better than when it was built.”Common Questions
Everything you need to know before booking deck & fence.
With a quality penetrating stain and proper application, most decks need re-staining every 3 to 5 years in Montreal and Alberta weather. Oil-based stains typically last longer than water-based.
If the existing solid stain or paint is in good condition, we can re-coat over it. If it is peeling, we may recommend stripping it back first. We will assess and advise.
