Deck & Fence Staining in Cottonwood, AZ

Cottonwood wood fences and decks face full sun most of the year, and the dry air pulls moisture out fast. Unprotected boards can turn gray and split within a few years. Restaining on a steady schedule keeps the wood from cracking and saves you from replacing boards.

Bare or worn wood turns gray, splits, and splinters when it sits in strong sun. Stain soaks in, blocks UV, and helps the wood shed water during monsoon season.

We start by cleaning off dirt, mildew, and old failing stain. A wood brightener opens up the grain so the new stain soaks in evenly. We set popped nails and screws and note any boards that need repair.

We will help you choose between semi-transparent stain that shows the grain and solid stain that hides wear on older wood. In the high desert, most decks and fences need fresh stain every two to three years.

Local conditions in Cottonwood

Cottonwood sits at about 3,300 feet. Summers are hot and the sun is strong, so paint on south and west walls fades and chalks faster here than in cooler places. Monsoon storms in July and August bring sudden rain and blowing dust.
