Keep water out. Keep the wood.
A sealer soaks into the wood and makes water bead up instead of soaking in. It is the best protection for new decks and for homeowners who want the natural look of the wood.

Deck, Fence & Wood
Sealers are clear or lightly toned. They protect against water and freeze-thaw damage while letting the grain and natural color show. Stains add more pigment, which hides wear and adds stronger UV protection.
Sealing is a great choice for new decks once the wood is ready to take a finish, and for cedar or redwood you want to keep looking natural. Like staining, it only works on clean, dry wood, so every sealing job starts with a full wash. Want more color? See deck staining.
How we do it
01
Dirt, mildew and mill glaze are removed so the sealer can soak in.
02
We wait for dry wood and a clear forecast.
03
Penetrating sealer applied evenly, with no puddles or lap marks.
04
We check that water beads up across the deck.
Good to know
New wood often needs time to weather before it will absorb a sealer. We check before we seal.
Clear sealers fade faster in full sun than pigmented stains.
Every one to two years.

Seal if you love the natural wood look. Stain if you want color or need to hide wear.
It depends on the wood. Many new decks need weeks or months to weather before they accept a finish. We test before we apply.
Sprinkle water on it. If it soaks in and darkens the wood, it is time.
Only if it is compatible and not peeling. Otherwise we remove it first.
