289-988-1318Your deck and fence take a relentless beating from Ontario's climate — intense summer UV, freeze-thaw cycles, driving rain, and constant foot traffic. Without regular maintenance, wood weathers, greys, checks, and eventually rots. Our deck and fence staining service starts with a thorough cleaning and brightening process that removes grey oxidation, mildew, and old peeling finish, restoring the wood's natural colour and opening the grain so it can properly absorb a new stain. Sanding is performed where needed to smooth rough surfaces and remove stubborn old finish.
After prep, we help you choose the right staining product for your specific wood, aesthetic goals, and maintenance preferences. Semi-transparent penetrating stains let the natural wood grain show through while providing excellent UV and water protection; solid-colour stains offer maximum durability and coverage on older or rougher wood; and clear sealers preserve the natural look on newer or higher-grade decking. We work with premium brands known for performance in Canadian climate conditions, including Cabot, TWP, and Defy.
Sigma Painting handles decks, fences, pergolas, gazebos, privacy screens, and any other outdoor wood structure on your property. Serving Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa, and across the GTA, we have helped hundreds of homeowners restore and protect their outdoor spaces. A properly maintained deck or fence adds real value to your home and makes your outdoor living area a place you actually want to spend time.
With a quality penetrating stain and proper prep, most decks in Ontario need restaining every 2-3 years. Solid-colour stains may last 3-5 years. Factors like sun exposure, foot traffic, and whether you have covered sections all affect the maintenance cycle. We can assess your deck and give you a realistic expectation.
Yes, but proper preparation is essential. Peeling stain must be fully removed — through power washing, chemical stripping, or sanding — before new stain is applied. Applying new stain over a failing old finish is a common mistake that leads to premature peeling. We never skip this step.
It depends on the condition and age of the wood. If your fence boards are relatively new and the grain is still attractive, a semi-transparent stain lets that natural beauty show through while still providing protection. On older, rougher, or previously painted fences, a solid-colour stain provides better coverage and longevity.
Deck brightener is a chemical treatment applied after power washing that neutralizes the grey oxidation that forms on weathered wood and opens the wood grain to accept stain evenly. Skipping this step often results in blotchy, uneven stain absorption. We include brightening in our standard deck prep process.
