Deck Staining & Sealing in Abingdon
As a homeowner in Abingdon, MD, you're no stranger to the challenges of maintaining your outdoor living space. With mixed humid climate conditions, comes the risk of leaf and gutter clogging in fall, as well as severe thunderstorms and tornadoes in spring that can cause flooding and foundation shifting from moisture. In summer, high heat and humidity spells bring hail damage and mold risks in basements. Winter brings ice storms, moderate snow load, frozen pipes, and ice dam risk on roofs.
Given the median home value of $358,700 and the median year built of 1998, many Abingdon homes have deck structures that date back to the late 90s.

Regular staining not only extends the life of your deck but also keeps it looking great for years of entertaining and relaxation.

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.
