Thousands of feet of wood fence and deck are installed at residences and businesses across Iowa and Nebraska every year. Without proper treatment, this wood begins to rot and decay the day after it is installed. Most exterior wood structures & fences will only last 7-9 years without proper treatment. More than ever before, owners are becoming conscious of the need to protect their fence and deck investments by staining and sealing the wood. Our stains also beautify your wood structures with many different colors to choose from, or clear coat your structure to keep its natural wood look. We at Nebraska Stain & Seal have partnered with Wood Defender stain and sealing products exclusively, as this product has consistently shown superiority to every single other product on the market today. Wood Defender products saturate the surface of the lumber, penetrating into and sealing the wood, leaving the fence and wood with an even, uniform coating. No back brushing is required.

"High priced for a better quality of product and it really was not."

"I’m impressed! We had drywall damage in a bedroom from a water leak. Fixed it perfectly! They were so polite, so thoughtful, and professional. They left room so clean when they were done. The painters seemed happy and loved what they do too. Normally contractor workers are grumpy but not Walters Painting, they were smiling and cheerful every day. Such a great experience and very high skilled work too!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

You should refinish your deck once every 2 to 3 years to maintain its appearance and durability. By refinishing your deck every few years, you extend its life by protecting the wood. If you notice faded deck boards, splintering boards, or warping, your deck likely needs refinishing soon. Be sure to repair your deck before refinishing to ensure its longevity.

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

Painting a damaged pool deck is not recommended if the substrate is crumbling, cracking, spalling, or otherwise actively deteriorating. Continuing deterioration will result in the paint also delaminating or flaking off the damaged surface. Minor damage such as chips or hairline cracks that are not actively deteriorating can often be repaired enough to paint over. A damaged pool deck with a lot of cracking and deterioration should be replaced for best results.

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

Yes, you can stain your wood deck over old stain, but proper preparation is the key to successful results. Begin by thoroughly cleaning the deck to remove dirt, debris, and loose or flaking old stain. Sanding or stripping may be necessary to smooth the surface and ensure proper adhesion of the new stain. Test a small area to ensure compatibility between the old and new stain. Also, choose a stain compatible with the existing stain type and color. By following these steps meticulously, you can achieve a refreshed appearance while preserving the integrity of your deck.
