Fresh pressure-treated or bare wood needs the right penetrating stain to build lasting protection. We assess your wood type, choose the correct product, and apply it properly — protecting your investment from day one.
Is your deck gray, cracking, or peeling? We power wash, apply a wood cleaner treatment, let everything dry fully, and apply a fresh coat of stain. Done right, a restain outlasts a replacement by years — and costs a fraction of the price.
Privacy fences, picket fences, split-rail — we stain them all. A quality stain job protects against moisture, UV damage, and rot while giving your fence a clean, consistent look. We stain both sides and price by linear foot.
Carolina Staining was founded on a straightforward belief — homeowners deserve a contractor who shows up when they say they will, communicates clearly from start to finish, and takes real pride in the work they leave behind.
We're a locally owned, owner-operated business serving the Raleigh area and surrounding communities. When you hire us, you're working directly with the person who cares most about the outcome. That means closer attention on every board, post, and rail — because our name and reputation are on the line with every job.
We focus exclusively on deck and fence staining. That specialization makes us faster, more consistent, and more skilled at diagnosing problems than a generalist who stains as an afterthought.
