Protect Your Deck from Minnesota Weather
Minnesota's harsh winters and humid summers can cause wood to weather quickly, resulting in warped, cracked, and rotting boards. Our professional refinishing process restores and protects your investment.
We use only premium oil-based stains that penetrate deep into the wood fibers—not just sitting on the surface like water-based alternatives. Every coat is hand-applied with brushes, never sprayed, ensuring thorough coverage and lasting results.
Did you know? Proper maintenance can double the life of your deck, saving thousands in replacement costs. A well-maintained deck also adds significant value to your home.
Our Proven Process
Every deck gets the same meticulous attention to detail, ensuring beautiful, long-lasting results.
Chemical Treatment
We apply a chemical stripper or brightener to break down old finishes and restore the wood's natural color.
Power Washing
Our gentle power washing removes debris, mold, and loosened materials without damaging the wood grain.
Sanding
If needed, we sand the surface to smooth out rough spots, splinters, and prepare for optimal stain absorption.
Stain Application
We hand-apply premium oil-based stain using brushes for deep, even penetration and lasting protection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about deck refinishing in Minnesota
How often should I refinish my deck?
In Minnesota's climate, we recommend refinishing your deck every 2-3 years. Harsh winters, UV exposure, and moisture can break down even quality stains over time. Regular maintenance prevents costly repairs and keeps your deck looking great.
What type of stain do you use?
We exclusively use premium oil-based stains. Unlike water-based alternatives, oil-based stains penetrate deep into the wood fibers, providing superior protection and a richer, longer-lasting finish. We hand-apply every coat with brushes for optimal penetration.
How long does deck refinishing take?
Most deck refinishing projects take 2-4 days depending on size and condition. This includes power washing, drying time, sanding if needed, and stain application. We never rush the process—proper prep and drying time are essential for a lasting finish.
Do I need to sand my deck before staining?
It depends on your deck's condition. If the wood is rough, splintering, or has heavy old stain buildup, sanding is recommended. We assess each deck individually and include sanding in our process when needed to ensure a smooth, even finish.
Can you refinish a composite deck?
Composite decks don't require traditional staining, but they can fade and stain over time. We offer cleaning services for composite decks to restore their appearance. For wood deck refinishing, that's our specialty.
What's the best time of year to refinish a deck in Minnesota?
Late spring through early fall (May-September) is ideal. We need temperatures above 50°F and dry conditions for proper stain application and curing. We monitor weather closely and schedule work during optimal conditions.
