Stain and Seal

Why not have a refinished deck or fence for the season of barbeques and summer get-togethers! MG Professional Services LLC is can take care of all your staining and sealing needs in the greater Northern Virginia and Charlotte, North Carolina areas. With an eye for quality, we want your home or business’s deck or fence looking its best.

Deck Staining

Deck sealing is used to prevent water from penetrating the surface of the wood. In addition to water protection, most sealants also contain a UV protectant to help preserve the wood and prevent UV damage from the sun. With regular applications, sealing can help the wood look natural for years to come!

While deck sealants are great, there is a downside. Most deck sealants are wax-based, providing a protective barrier prevents the water from seeping into it. This is its purpose, but it can also cause the water to bead up and not drain away. Some decks can see standing water for days after a heavy rain because of the protectant, and can even cause slip and fall accidents. To keep the protection in place and your family’s safety in mind, it’s necessary to reduce the protectant every year.

Deck & Fence Staining

Staining is the act of adding or changing the color of your wooden deck or fence. We offer a variety of colors in both water-based and oil-based stains, but overall, we do highly recommend using an oil-based stain. These oil-based stains penetrate the wood better and provide the best protection. They are semi-transparent and will darken the deck or fence color while allowing the natural wood grain to show through, giving you that look that only wood can. A semi-transparent stain will last longer than sealants and other types of stain.

If your existing deck or fence is weathered from the seasonal elements, MG Professional Services LLC recommends an opaque or solid color stain. It helps hide imperfections, covering the wood grain and providing a semi-smooth finish. These stains do tend to show weathering easily and require a new coat to be applied each year to maintain the look and finish of the deck or fence.
