Deck and Fence Staining
in Alabaster, AL
Alabaster's humid climate is particularly hard on outdoor wood, with untreated decks and fences showing signs of mildew and decay more quickly than in drier regions. Many properties in the subdivisions near Thompson High School have standard 10x12 builder decks that were never stained after construction. Getting a quality semi-transparent stain on these decks before moisture penetrates the grain is the difference between wood that lasts 20 years and wood that needs replacing in 8.
Typical Cost
$600 - $1,600 for decks; $350 - $1,000 for fences
Timeline
1-2 days for most properties
Local Tip
Avoid staining in direct afternoon sun during Alabaster's hot summers — the stain dries too quickly on the surface before absorbing into the wood, resulting in a tacky, uneven finish that wears off quickly.
