Deck Staining in Charlottesville, VA
Deck Refinishing That Actually Lasts, by Moon Painting LLC.
Deck Staining and Refinishing in Charlottesville, VA
Your deck takes a beating. Sun, rain, humidity, foot traffic, and Central Virginia's freeze and thaw cycles slowly strip the finish, dry out the wood, and leave you with a faded, splintering surface. Moon Painting LLC restores decks across Charlottesville and Central Virginia with proper cleaning, sanding, and high-quality stain that brings the wood back to life and protects it for years.

A good deck stain job is mostly prep. Skip the prep and the stain peels in two seasons. Here is how we do it:
- Inspect the deck for loose boards, popped nails, damaged sections, and rot. Repair what needs repair before refinishing.
- Power wash the deck to remove dirt, mildew, algae, and old loose finish.
- Sand the deck surface to smooth out splintering, even out the grain, and prepare it to absorb the stain.
- Brighten the wood with a deck brightener to open the grain and even out the color.
- Apply two coats of premium deck stain using brushes and rollers for proper penetration.
- Seal railings, posts, and stair treads so the entire structure is protected, not just the deck floor.
Choosing the Right Stain
Stain options range from clear sealers that let the natural wood grain show through, to semi-transparent stains that add tone while preserving texture, to solid stains that fully cover and offer the longest protection. We will walk you through the options during the estimate and help you choose a finish that matches your deck, your house, and how long you want it to last.
