What We Cover
Our Seattle
Our Seattle
Deck Refinishing Services
Every deck refinishing project includes the work below, delivered by our in-house Seattle crew. No subcontractors. No surprise add-ons. Every job covered by our 10-year workmanship warranty.
Chemical Stripping
For decks with old solid stain, we apply sodium hydroxide stripper to lift previous coatings. The strip removes 95-100% of old finish in one application.
Multi-Stage Sanding
Random-orbit sanding starts at 40-grit on weathered cedar, finishes at 80-grit. Hardwoods refinish at 60-grit minimum to maintain board thickness over multiple refinish cycles.
Stain Application
Professional deck staining Seattle uses oil-based, water-based, or hybrid formulas. Application by brush + back-roll for grain saturation. Two coats standard on cedar, three on porous IPE.
Marine-Grade Sealing
Deck sealing Seattle finish uses penetrating low-VOC formulas. Marine-grade variants resist Puget Sound salt air. Seal extends stain life 12-18 months beyond unsealed application.
Maintenance Plan
We include a 36-month maintenance plan: annual wash + spot touch-ups. Optional re-staining every 36 months at 40% discount versus full refinish.

Built for Seattle Weather.
Repaired by Seattle Experts.
Seattle decks face conditions most contractors don't understand. Our 37+ inches of annual rainfall combined with evergreen shade creates the perfect environment for wood rot. Add freeze-thaw cycles, salt air from Puget Sound, and moss-friendly surfaces, and you have a deck that's aging faster than almost anywhere else in the country.
We've worked decks in every Seattle microclimate, from shaded north-facing lots in Fremont and Ravenna, to salt-exposed waterfront homes in Magnolia and Alki, to hillside elevated decks in Queen Anne and Capitol Hill. Each has unique failure patterns. We know them.
That's why every deck refinishing project we deliver uses stainless or coated fasteners (not basic galvanized), proper joist flashing, and pressure-treated framing rated for ground contact, even where code doesn't require it.
- Stainless / coated fasteners standard on every project
- Ground-contact-rated framing exceeds Seattle code requirements
- Joist flashing & ledger protection against PNW moisture
- Marine-grade sealers for waterfront & salt-exposed homes

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions Seattle homeowners ask us most about deck refinishing. Don't see yours? Just call. Most questions get answered in under 5 minutes.
01 How much does deck refinishing cost in Seattle?
Sand and refinish deck Seattle pricing runs $1,800–$5,200 for 300 sq ft (28 sq m). Cedar refinishing averages $1,800–$2,800. IPE refinishing costs $3,200–$5,200 due to harder sanding requirements. Pricing covers wash, sand, 2-coat stain, and seal.
Specific answer for your deck? Call (888) 401-228302 How long does professional deck refinishing Seattle take?
Refinishing takes 2-4 days for 300 sq ft. Day 1: wash and strip. Day 2: sand. Day 3: first stain coat. Day 4: second coat and seal. Weather delays add 1-2 days during rainy windows.
Specific answer for your deck? Call (888) 401-228303 When should I sand and refinish deck Seattle versus restore?
Refinish when boards are sound but finish has failed (faded, peeling, no water bead). Restore when boards need replacement, structural sanding, or color change requires full strip-to-bare-wood treatment.
Specific answer for your deck? Call (888) 401-228304 What stains do deck refinishing contractor Seattle pros recommend?
3 stain brands dominate PNW deck refinishing in 2025: Sikkens Cetol (oil-based, 4-year cycle), Cabot Australian Timber Oil (penetrating, 3-year cycle), and Sherwin-Williams SuperDeck (water-based, 2-3 year cycle). Selection depends on existing finish.
Specific answer for your deck? Call (888) 401-228305 Can deck sealing Seattle work without staining?
Yes. Clear sealer-only application protects against moisture without changing color. Clear sealers last 18-24 months. The treatment fits new cedar decks where natural graying is the goal.
Specific answer for your deck? Call (888) 401-228306 How often should I refinish a Seattle deck?
Refinishing cycles vary by material: cedar every 2-4 years, pressure-treated lumber every 3-5 years, IPE hardwood every 4-7 years. Composite decking does not need refinishing, only annual cleaning.
Specific answer for your deck? Call (888) 401-228307 Are you licensed, bonded, and insured in Washington state?
Yes. We hold WA Contractor License WA #DBSEAT123KP, a $25,000 surety bond, and $2M liability insurance. We are NADRA (North American Deck and Railing Association) members, BBB A+ accredited, TrexPro Platinum certified, and TimberTech Pro certified. All credentials verify on the WA Labor & Industries website.
Specific answer for your deck? Call (888) 401-228308 What does your 10-year workmanship warranty cover?
Our 10-year structural workmanship warranty covers 5 elements: framing, ledger attachment, footing connections, railings, and stairs. The warranty transfers to the next homeowner on sale. Material warranties from manufacturers (Trex 25-year, TimberTech 30-year, IPE lifetime) stack on top.
