Deck and fence maintenance in Kelowna.
Cleaning, touch-ups and a recoat when the finish needs one. We look at your deck or fence, how much sun it takes and what it is coated with, then suggest a plan that fits.
A plan that follows the condition of your wood.
At the visit we check the wood and the finish on it, then talk through the care it is likely to need each year.
What your plan can cover.
Condition checks
We look for wear, loose boards and spots where the finish is starting to fail.
Regular cleaning
Cleaning suited to the wood and its existing finish.
Touch-ups
Worn spots on stairs and sunny boards recoated before they spread.
Recoat when it needs it
A full recoat once the finish has worn thin, not on a fixed clock.
A clear care schedule
The visit timing and the yearly price are agreed on site, before the plan starts.
Who the plan is for.
The plan suits wood that is already in good shape.
- Decks and fences with a sound finish that can take another coat
- Peeling or failed finishes need a full restoration first, quoted separately
Size, railings, access and the state of the finish set the yearly price. Ask about the plan in the estimate or at your free on-site visit.
Ask about the planPre-staining new wood.
Choose the finish for your new deck or fence before the boards go up.
At that stage every face and edge is easy to reach, including the ones that end up against a joist or a post. We talk through the wood, the finish and your build dates before we book it.
We pre-stain for homeowners and builders. Tell us what is going up and roughly how many boards or linear feet, and we quote it per order.
- Deck boards, fence boards or both
- Any of our four finishes
- Quoted per order, timed to your build
Maintenance Plan questions.
How long does a stain last here?
It depends most on sun. South- and west-facing decks and decks facing the lake wear first. Stairs and the boards people walk on wear faster than railings and fences. When water soaks into the boards instead of beading, the finish is ready for another coat.
Oil stain or film-forming stain?
They wear differently. A film sits on top of the wood and can peel when it fails, which means stripping before the next coat. A penetrating stain soaks in and fades instead, so it can usually be recoated after a wash. What is already on your wood decides a lot of this, and we check it at the visit.
Can the plan cover a deck someone else stained?
Yes, as long as the finish on it is still sound. We check it at the visit.
