*Prices include cleaning, prep, and two coats of premium stain. Restoration (sanding/repairs) adds to cost.
The biggest factor is size. Most Columbus-area decks range from 200–500 sq ft. You're paying for labor, materials, and time — bigger decks need more of everything. We measure precisely and charge by the actual square foot, not estimates.
Premium oil-based stains cost more but last 3–5 years vs 1–2 for budget options. We use commercial-grade stains from TWP, Armstrong-Clark, and Ready Seal — brands proven in Ohio's harsh weather. Expect to pay $0.50–$1.50/sq ft more for premium stain, but it saves money long-term.
If your deck has peeling old stain, mildew, or gray weathered wood, it needs more prep — sanding, cleaning, and possibly board replacements. Restoration work can add $200–$800+ depending on condition. But skipping prep means the new stain fails within months.
Railings, balusters, stairs, and built-in benches add significant labor time. A deck with intricate railing can take 2–3x longer than one without. These details are factored into every estimate so there are no surprises.
We serve the entire Columbus metro area — from Dublin to Pickerington, Powell to Grove City. There's no travel fee for most locations. For areas beyond 30 miles from Columbus, a small travel fee may apply. We'll always tell you upfront.
