Premium penetrating oil stain.
We use a premium penetrating oil-based stain only — it soaks into the wood, enhances the grain, and won't peel, crack, or flake. Choose from the tones below or ask us for a sample swatch on your wood.
Color swatches are approximate. Final tone varies with wood species, age, and grain.

Questions from Lexington homeowners.
How much does deck staining cost in Lexington, KY?
Deck staining in the Lexington area typically runs $2–$10 per square foot depending on complexity. Simple ground-level decks with minimal railing land around $2–$5/sq ft. Second-story decks, multiple stair sets, landings, heavy baluster counts, wraparound railings, or pergolas push into the $6–$10/sq ft range because railings and balusters take far more prep, masking, and hand work than deck boards. Text photos of your deck (including stairs and railings) to 859-242-5209 for a firm same-day price.
What makes a deck cost more per square foot?
The biggest cost drivers are vertical surfaces and access. Every linear foot of railing, every baluster, every stair tread, landing, skirting board, and pergola beam adds prep and stain time. A 400 sq ft ground-level deck with a short railing is a very different job than a 400 sq ft second-story deck with two stair sets, landings, and 80+ balusters — even though the footprint is identical. Second-story access, tight spray zones, and heavy failing stain also push the price up.
How long does a stained deck last in Kentucky?
A properly prepped deck stained with a premium penetrating oil holds up 2–4 years horizontal / 4–6 years vertical in the Bluegrass. Because it soaks in instead of forming a film, it never peels or flakes — recoats are a simple wash-and-stain, not a full strip.
Do I need to strip old stain before you recoat?
Sometimes. Failing film-forming stains have to come off, and stripping adds cost. Fading penetrating stains usually just need a wash and brightener before we recoat. We inspect the boards and tell you exactly what your deck needs — no upsell.
Can you finish my deck over a weekend?
Most standard Lexington and Bluegrass decks are washed and brightened on day one and stained on day two. Larger or more complex decks — second-story with multiple stair sets, wraparound railings, or heavy stripping — may run a third day. We tell you up front.
Do you move the furniture and grill?
Yes, we move furniture, grills, and planters, and put everything back at the end. Just tell us if anything is fragile.
Why penetrating oil stain instead of paint or solid stain?
Kentucky weather is brutal on decks — freeze-thaw cycles, humidity, and full sun. Film-forming products (deck paint, solid stains, thick sealers) trap moisture and peel within a couple of seasons. A premium penetrating oil breathes with the wood, protects from UV, and always looks like wood.
