FAQs About Deck and Fence Staining in Coastal North Carolina
In our coastal climate, we recommend re-staining every 2–3 years for semi-transparent stains and every 3–5 years for solid stains. Sun, salt, and humidity wear down protection quickly here. At JBG Painting, we use a professional moisture meter to test your wood and let you know exactly when it’s time to re-stain – so you’re never guessing.
Spring and fall are ideal thanks to mild temperatures and lower humidity. But at JBG Painting, we stain year-round whenever the weather allows. We’ll schedule your project during a dry, stable window so your stain cures properly and lasts as long as it should.
That depends on your goals. Solid stains offer more coverage and last longer, while semi-transparent stains highlight the wood’s natural beauty. During your estimate, the JBG team will walk you through the pros and cons and recommend the best fit based on your wood condition, exposure, and style preferences.
Yes – and this is where JBG’s prep work makes all the difference. We’ll clean, strip, and sand as needed to remove old coatings and get your wood ready for a fresh, lasting stain. Our process restores the surface properly before we even pick up a brush.
Most JBG projects are completed in 1–2 days, depending on size and condition. We handle everything from prep to cleanup with care and efficiency, and we’ll let you know exactly how long your specific job will take before we begin.
We use premium, contractor-grade stains engineered for coastal environments. These products are designed to resist UV rays, mildew, and moisture intrusion. We don’t just pick a brand – we match the product to your specific wood and exposure for maximum durability.
Absolutely. JBG staining services seal the wood, protect against rot and UV damage, and prevent expensive repairs later. With proper maintenance, your deck or fence can look better and last years longer than untreated wood.
