Deck Staining & Sealing in Alta
As a homeowner in Alta, WY, you're no stranger to harsh winters and extreme weather conditions. With annual rainfall reaching 35" and an average of 45" of snowfall, your deck is exposed to constant moisture and freezing temperatures. This can lead to costly repairs down the line if left unattended. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning and sealing your deck, is crucial to prevent damage from UV rays, water stains, and wear.
Our deck staining & sealing service is specifically designed to address Alta's unique climate challenges. By applying a high-quality stain and sealant, we can protect your deck from the elements and extend its lifespan by years. In fact, research shows that regular staining can increase your deck's lifespan by up to 30%. Additionally, our power washing service can help remove dirt and debris that can clog gutters and downspouts during heavy leaf fall, reducing the risk of costly repairs.
Given Alta's median home value is $1,063,500 and median year built is 1992, it's likely your deck was originally stained when you purchased the property. However, with regular maintenance, you can ensure it remains a beautiful and functional outdoor space for years to come. Our cost range of $400-$1,500 may seem steep upfront, but consider the long-term benefits – a well-maintained deck can increase your home's value and provide countless hours of entertainment and relaxation for years to come.

DIY vs. Call a Pro
Power wash the deck and let it dry 24-48 hours. Apply deck cleaner to remove gray fibers if needed. Use a pump sprayer or stain pad to apply stain, working in the direction of the wood grain. Apply two thin coats rather than one thick coat.
Call a professional when:
Hire a professional for large decks, decks that need significant repair before staining, or if previous stain needs chemical stripping. Pros have commercial-grade equipment for faster, more even application.
