Expert Tips for Deck Staining: How to Achieve a Professional Look
Wood decks are known for their rich colors and wood grain patterns, and the best way to highlight these is with deck staining. Unfortunately, your deck’s stain can deteriorate over time, leaving it looking unattractive and exposed to the elements.
You don’t need to put up with a run-down, faded deck. If your deck needs a refresh, turn to the deck staining experts at TrueDecks.
We at TrueDecks provide a wide range of deck services, including staining. We can restain your old deck or add stain to a new deck. With so many stains and styles to choose from, we’re sure that we have a stain that’s perfect for you and your deck in Gaithersburg, MD.
Why Should I Restain My Deck?
Staining your deck can revive the color and wood grain pattern, making it look new again.
Over time, your deck’s stain will wear away because of the elements..
Restaining your deck offers the following benefits:
- Weather protection: Restaining will prevent further damage from inclement weather.
- Increased lifespan: Your deck surface will last longer with new staining.
- Heat and water protection: Restaining can protect your deck from water and heat damage.
- Improved visual appeal: New stains look beautiful, adding aesthetic value.
- Updated look and feel: Your deck won’t look or feel old anymore.
- Fixes safety hazards: Restaining prevents splinters and other potential safety issues.
- Prepares it for frequent usage: Frequent usage can wear an unstained deck down.

Should I Restain or Refinish My Deck?
Not sure if you should restain or refinish your deck? No worries! Here’s the difference between these two services.
Deck staining involves applying an exterior deck stain to a deck.
On the other hand, deck refinishing replaces the deck’s entire surface, which is more costly and time intensive. Deck refinishing works best in situations where your deck’s surface is rotting, decaying, falling apart, or otherwise unsafe.
If your deck merely needs a new varnish, staining is the way to go. Our experts at TrueDecks can inspect your deck and decide what works best in your specific circumstances.

See What Our Clients Say
K. Chris Sotudeh The deck and fencing was recently completed and looks great! The team was great to work with from the beginning and throughout. They were proactive in addressing any questions or issues along the way. I look forward to working with them again and highly recommend their services. Rockville Catholic Summer Program Very positive experience with TrueDecks. Carlos was prompt in communications, explained the process. Financing was easy to arrange and in three days, we had beautiful steps. Contractors were polite, professional and efficient! Thomasina Garner I have been a customer of Deck Masters, now True Decks, for at least 6 years. I am very pleased with the deck restoration and maintenance plan I selected for my deck, which was initially based on an assessment of the condition of my deck. What can I say, other than, I am pleased with their service, knowledge, and reasonable prices. S Gordon February 2023 - We don’t typically write reviews, but we were so impressed with the professionalism and workmanship of DeckMaster that we wanted to take the opportunity to do so. Jose and Pavel were extremely knowledgeable, helpful throughout the entire process, and very attentive to detail. We love our new deck and screened in porch! We received a superior product for a fair price. We would highly recommend DeckMaster and will be using them again on future projects. December 2024 - We recently had TrueDecks install a paver patio and a custom shed under our deck (which TrueDecks, formerly DeckMaster, built as well). Their craftsmanship and attention to detail was again outstanding, and we couldn't be happier. The owner Jose clearly has years of experience. He listened to what we wanted, was creative with design options, and was very responsive to special requests. The installation crew was professional and extremely skilled. We would definitely recommend TrueDecks. Philly I recently had my deck and patio landing area redone by Truedecks, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! The team, led by Pavel, was exceptional. They were not only highly skilled but also incredibly neat and organized throughout the project. Pavel ensured that everything ran smoothly, and the craftsmanship speaks for itself. Carlos, who was part of the team, was equally fantastic—hardworking, precise, and dedicated to delivering top-quality work. The final result exceeded my expectations. Tracy Schneider I highly recommend True Decks (Deck Master) - Fernando Rivera came by, spent a couple hours explaining all the choices and answering all our questions. They were able to do exactly what we wanted (compared to other companies who wouldn't) and they promptly sent my estimate. (Note: They were 1/2 of what another company quoted). Since mine was a 'small' job (see picture), they were able to squeeze me in while waiting on permits/materials on other jobs. When they called right after the snowstorm on Sunday and said they could come on Wednesday, I was surprised. Selvin Aguilera and his assistant Luis showed up bright and early Wednesday in 30 degree weather and proceeded to work all day. I was VERY impressed with their meticulous attention to detail. I could tell they are very proud of their work. By Thursday at noon - another day of freezing temps and wild winds - they were finished, and it is beautiful! I highly recommend them for anyone wanting a new porch or deck. B Thomas I was very pleased with the work performed on my deck. Needed a few floor boards and handrail replaced and a power wash and stain. TrueDecks did an excellent job at a fair price. Will definitely use them again. Margarita Rodriguez I replace my deck with the True decks company located in Gaithersburg. I am so happy with my new deck. The ream was always friendly, responsive and accommodating to my needs and wishes. They did an excellent job. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality and excellent service. Karen Gonzalez The experience was awesome! Thank you for a wonderful job!
