Park City homeowners invest heavily in their outdoor living spaces — expansive decks with mountain views, custom fences, pergolas, and outdoor entertaining areas. But the same elevation and climate that make those spaces so spectacular also make them incredibly tough on wood. Without proper protection, bare or poorly maintained wood can gray, crack, split, and deteriorate surprisingly fast at altitude.
At 7,000 feet, UV radiation is up to 25% stronger than at sea level. Add in Park City's dramatic temperature swings — from over 90°F in summer to well below zero in winter — plus months of snow sitting on horizontal surfaces, constant freeze-thaw cycles, and occasional hail, and you have one of the most demanding environments for exterior wood in the country. Professional staining protects your investment and keeps your wood looking great season after season.
We start by thoroughly cleaning and prepping the surface — power washing to remove dirt, mildew, and old finish, then sanding any rough spots and allowing the wood to dry completely. We apply premium penetrating stains that soak into the wood fibers rather than just sitting on top, providing deep UV protection and water resistance. For decks that see heavy foot traffic, we use durable products specifically formulated for horizontal surfaces.
Decks, railings, fences, pergolas, gazebos, arbors, outdoor stairs, retaining walls, log accents, and any other exterior wood surface. We work with all wood types common in Summit County construction, including cedar, redwood, pine, fir, and composite-wood hybrid materials. We also re-stain previously finished wood that has weathered or faded.
The best time to stain in Park City is typically late spring through early fall, when temperatures are warm enough for proper product adhesion and drying. We'll help you time your project for the best possible results.
