Deck & Fence Staining
in Washington County, PA
Stain Your Washington County Deck
and Fence to Last
Stain rolled onto a deck that wasn’t prepped right peels off within a year. A Washington County four-season climate, full of algae, mildew, and mold on the wood, only speeds that along. At Pro Kleen Industries, we do it the other way. We clean the wood on day one, then scrape, lightly sand, and lay down the finish on day two, for a coat that actually holds. Call (724) 344-2534.
The Wood Deck and
Fence Types We Stain
We stain wood decks and wood fences, and both get the same clean, scrape, sand, and stain package. It is wood work only, and the surface tells us how to handle it.
Wood Decks
A deck gets a thorough cleaning first to lift the algae, mildew, and mold off the boards. We wash it with the pressure the wood can take, then prep it for finish. Once the surface is clean and sanded, the new coat goes on. A deck sees sun, rain, and foot traffic every day, so the finish has to be laid on wood that is genuinely ready for it.
Wood Fences
A wood fence is handled the same way as a deck: cleaned to clear the growth, prepped, then coated. Plenty of older wood privacy fences still stand around the county, and a fence line takes weather on both sides at once. This is the work that keeps that wood sound and looking right instead of going gray and splitting.
Why Homeowners Choose Us
for Deck & Fence Staining
The finish is only as good as the prep underneath it. Here is where we put the work.
We Sand Before We Stain
Sanding is the step most crews skip, and it is why our finishes last. A light sand gives the new coat something to grab. Plenty of homeowners think pressure washing is the right way to prep wood, but it is backwards. We sand every deck before we stain it, and fences get the same prep.
Cleaning Day and Staining Day Are Separate
The common shortcut is to pressure wash a deck, wait until it is barely dry, and roll stain on. That coat fails fast. Pressure washing drives water down into the wood, and stain over damp, unsanded boards never bonds. So we clean on day one and stain on day two.
Commercial-Grade Stain and Paint
We put down commercial-grade stain or paint on every job, one to two coats. It is part of a package built to last, not a quick patch meant to look good until the next rain.

How Our Deck & Fence Staining
Process Goes: Estimate to Walk-Around
A staining job runs two days on site, and here is how it goes from your first call to the final walkthrough.
Your Free, Itemized Written Estimate
Reach us by phone, text, or the web form, and we answer live whenever we can. We ask about your deck or fence: its size, its condition, and whether there is old paint or stain on it now. You get a free, itemized written estimate that spells out what is included and what is not.
Booking and Three Heads-Ups
Once you book, you get a confirmation, a reminder the day before, and a text two hours out. On bigger or weather-sensitive jobs, we call you directly.
Arrival and the Start-of-Job Walk-Around
Our truck parks on the street so it never blocks your driveway, and we cone off the work area. If you’re home, your technician knocks and introduces himself. He walks the deck or fence with you to confirm the scope and set expectations on old paint and stain up front. Either way, we photograph the work area for the work order, which protects you if any questions come up later.
Day One, Cleaning the Wood
We wash the wood with a pressure washer and a cleaning solution that clears the algae, mildew, and mold.
Day Two, Scrape, Sand, and Stain
Next day, we scrape off loose old paint or stain and lightly sand the full surface. Then we brush and roll on one to two coats of the finish.
Final Walk-Around and Payment
If you’re home, we walk the finished deck or fence with you before we pack up. Payment is due on completion: check or cash to the technician, or a card through an invoice we email or text you.
What Deck & Fence
Staining Costs
Staining is quoted as one complete package, not a stack of line items. One price covers the whole job, from the day-one cleaning through the final coat. You get the exact number on an itemized written estimate, so you know what you are paying before the work starts.
| Pricing | Details |
|---|---|
| $1,500 | Starting at $1,500 for the complete clean-and-stain package. That covers the cleaning, scraping, light sanding, and one to two coats of commercial-grade stain or paint on a wood deck or a wood fence. We do the job completely or not at all. There is no stain-only shortcut that leaves the prep half-done. |
| Good to Know | Multi-service pricing. When you add staining to other work on your property, ask about multi-service pricing when you get your estimate. |

Deck & Fence Staining FAQs
What if my deck or fence has rotted boards or loose railings?
Those need to be repaired before we stain. We stain and paint wood decks and wood fences only. If boards are rotted, stairs are failing, or railings are coming loose, we’ll ask you to have those repaired first. We don’t band-aid structural problems with a coat of stain. Once the wood is sound, we clean, prep, and stain it.
When is the best time of year to stain a deck or fence in Washington County?
The warm, dry months are the window for staining. Wet wood will not take a finish, so the work is weather-dependent from start to finish, and a wet stretch can move your date. We watch the forecast and keep you in the loop.
Do you need my outdoor water spigot?
We use your outdoor water spigot by default. If your property is on a well or spring, or the work is too far from a water source, we can bring our own water for an added charge, and we’ll let you know when we quote the job. The water is for the day-one cleaning before any stain goes down.
Do I need to be home while you stain my deck or fence?
No. We can do the whole job without you there. If you are home, we will walk the deck or fence with you at the start and again at the finish. For gated properties, we arrange access ahead of time.
