Fence & deck staining built for Colorado sun.
Full strip, sand, and premium UV-resistant stain — engineered for our high-altitude sun, dry winters, and hail-season swings.
Why Colorado wood needs specialty prep
Fort Collins sits at 5,000 ft with some of the harshest UV in the country, and our humidity routinely drops below 20%. That combination fades stain, splits boards, and lifts old finishes faster than almost anywhere else. Skipping the strip-and-sand step means the new coat bonds to failing stain — and peels the next season.
Our fence & deck staining process
- Deep-clean pressure wash

- Full sand to bare wood
- Board replacement & popped-nail fixes

- Cedar, redwood, pine & composite railings
- Full jobsite cleanup
The stains we use
We default to Sherwin-Williams SuperDeck and Benjamin Moore Arborcoat for their UV blockers and mildew resistance — both formulated to handle Colorado's freeze-thaw cycles without cracking or peeling.
