Protect & Restore Your Outdoor Wood
Decks and fences take a beating from the elements. Sun exposure, seasonal rain, moisture and everyday wear can leave exterior wood faded, dry, weathered or peeling. Professional staining doesn't just improve the appearance of your outdoor spaces—it helps protect the wood and extend its useful life.
Advanced Painting provides professional deck and fence staining for homes throughout Santa Rosa and Sonoma County. From redwood decks and cedar fences to railings, gates and other exterior wood surfaces, we focus on the preparation that makes a quality finish last.
We evaluate the existing condition of the wood, properly prepare the surface and apply high-quality stains and finishes selected for the project. The result is a clean, even finish that highlights the character of the wood while helping protect it from Northern California's changing weather.
Bring weathered decking back to life while adding protection against moisture, UV exposure and everyday use. We carefully prepare deck boards, railings, stairs and surrounding wood surfaces before applying a professional-quality stain for an even, durable finish.
Whether you're maintaining newer redwood or refreshing an older deck that has faded over time, we'll recommend an approach based on the condition of the wood and the look you want to achieve.
A professionally stained fence can dramatically improve curb appeal while helping protect exposed wood from sun and moisture. We stain wood fencing, gates, posts and other exterior wood features throughout Sonoma County.
Proper preparation helps the stain absorb evenly and reduces the blotchy, inconsistent appearance that can happen when weathered wood is coated without adequate prep.
Why Deck & Fence Staining Matters
Exterior wood is constantly exposed to conditions that can change its appearance and shorten its lifespan. A quality stain helps preserve the wood while keeping your property looking maintained.

Exterior Surfaces We Stain
From backyard decks and privacy fences to pergolas, railings and other outdoor wood features, Advanced Painting provides professional wood staining throughout Santa Rosa and Sonoma County. We work with a variety of exterior wood surfaces, including redwood and cedar, using careful preparation and quality stains to enhance the natural character of the wood while helping protect it from sun, moisture and weathering.
Redwood and Cedar Fencing
Professional staining for new, previously stained and weathered wood decks. We carefully prepare deck boards and surrounding surfaces to promote even stain absorption and a clean, consistent finish.
Deck Railing and Stairs
Railings and stairs contain edges, corners, vertical surfaces and high-traffic areas that require careful preparation and application.
Porches and Outdoor Living Areas
We stain exterior wood surfaces around porches and outdoor living spaces to create a more finished, cohesive appearance.
Wood Fences and Gates
Restore faded fencing or protect newer wood while enhancing its natural grain and color.
Previously Stained Outdoor Wood
Existing stain doesn't automatically mean the surface simply gets another coat. We evaluate the current finish and condition of the wood to determine what preparation is needed before applying a new stain.
Perrgolas, Arbors and Outdoor Structures
Staining can bring out the character of exposed wood while helping protect outdoor structures that receive year-round sun and weather exposure. Pergolas and arbors are also commonly included within professional exterior wood-staining services.
Deck & Fence Staining Questions
-
The ideal maintenance schedule depends on the type of wood, stain used, sun exposure, moisture and amount of foot traffic. Rather than relying on a fixed schedule, we recommend evaluating how well the existing finish is protecting the wood and whether it is beginning to fade or wear.
-
Stain is often preferred when you want to maintain the natural appearance and texture of the wood. Paint provides an opaque finish but behaves differently as exterior wood expands, contracts and weathers. We can evaluate the existing surface and help determine which coating makes the most sense.
-
In many cases, yes. The condition of the wood and any previous coatings need to be evaluated first. Proper cleaning, sanding or other preparation may be necessary before a new stain can be applied.
-
Surface cleaning is an important part of preparation, but the exact method depends on the condition of the wood. Excessive pressure can damage wood fibers, so preparation should be tailored to the surface rather than automatically using maximum pressure.
-
Drying and curing times depend on the product, temperature, humidity and weather conditions. We'll discuss the expected drying time for the specific product used on your project.Item description
