UV and moisture wear down bare wood quickly. We clean, prep and stain properly for a finish that lasts.
We paint house exteriors in Edmonton and the surrounding area. The same crew, the same prep standard and the same fixed-quote process whether you are in Edmonton, St. Albert, Spruce Grove, Sherwood Park, Leduc.
Cedar, pressure-treated pine, hardwood and composite-framed decks with wood decking. We assess the wood condition, clean and prep properly and apply a stain or sealant rated for the foot traffic and UV exposure the deck gets.
Wood privacy fences, picket fences and cedar rail fencing. Fences take full sun exposure on both faces and dry out faster than most homeowners expect. We clean, brighten and apply a penetrating stain that protects from the inside out.
Overhead structures take the most direct UV exposure of any outdoor wood. We treat pergolas and gazebos with products that block UV and resist moisture penetration.
Deck stairs, railings and surrounding trim. Railings take daily handling on top of weather exposure. We prep and finish them to the same standard as the deck surface.
Sheds, garden boxes, trellises and small outbuildings across the property. Same prep, same product selection and the same application standard as the main deck or fence.
Dock decking and cabin exteriors take constant moisture and UV exposure. We use a penetrating stain rated for outdoor conditions and apply it properly so the finish lasts.

Deck staining in Edmonton works best between late May and early September when temperatures are consistently above 10 degrees Celsius and the wood has had time to dry out from spring moisture. Staining too early in the season on wood that is still holding moisture from snowmelt leads to adhesion failure and early peeling.
Mid-summer is the busiest period. If you want a start date in July or August, book the walkthrough in May or June. We hold confirmed dates once the quote is accepted.
| Scope | Typical Edmonton Range |
|---|---|
| Standard deck (up to 200 sq ft) | $500 to $1,200 |
| Large deck (200 sq ft and up) | $1,200 to $2,000 |
| Fence (standard residential) | $600 to $1,500 |
| Deck and fence combined | $800 to $3,000 |

Australian Timber Oil and Cabot's Australian Timber Oil are our most-used products on cedar and hardwood decks. Deep penetrating, UV-blocking and rated for Edmonton's climate swings. Holds colour well and does not peel because it penetrates rather than sitting on the surface.
