Fence & Deck Staining in Jefferson County, MO
Jefferson County is hillier and more wooded than the counties north of it, and the decks show it. Around Arnold, Festus, Imperial and House Springs, many homes sit on grades that call for raised decks with substantial structure underneath — more exposed wood overall, and much of it weathering from below where nobody looks. We treat undersides, joists and railing posts as part of the job rather than an afterthought, because in this county that is where rot usually starts.

Jefferson County — common questions
My deck is elevated on a slope. Does the underside need attention?
Yes, and it is the part most often skipped. Raised decks are common around Arnold, Festus and House Springs because of the grades, and the underside stays damp and poorly ventilated where nobody looks. Rot generally starts at the joists and post bases rather than the visible boards, so we inspect and treat underneath as part of the job.
How do I know whether my deck needs repair rather than just refinishing?
We will tell you before quoting the finish. On older hillside decks we check post bases, ledger connections and joists first, because a fresh coat on structurally tired wood is money spent on the wrong problem. If something needs a carpenter, we would rather say so than stain over it.
