Landscape Service in Richmond, VA
Deck & Fence Stain & Repair
Restore, seal and repair your deck or fence with professional-grade staining and honest, thorough craftsmanship — protecting your wood from Richmond's sun, rain and humidity for years to come.
Why Staining & Repair Matters
Protect the Wood That Protects Your Property
Richmond's sun, humidity and heavy rains take a real toll on exposed wood — decks and fences that go too long without care start to gray, crack, splinter and rot. JM Tree Services restores and protects your deck or fence with thorough prep, honest repairs and professional-grade staining, so it looks better and lasts longer.
We handle everything from a simple re-stain to full structural repair — loose boards, wobbly railings, damaged pickets and leaning posts — before any stain ever touches the wood, so the finish holds up the way it should.
- Licensed, bonded & fully insured crews
- Structural repairs completed before staining
- Professional-grade, weather-rated stains & sealants
- Full clean-up included on every visit

Loose boards, wobbly railings, popped nails and soft or splintering wood are repaired or replaced before staining, so the deck is safe and the finish holds up properly.

FAQ
Deck & Fence Questions, Answered
How often should I stain my deck or fence?
Most decks and fences in the Richmond area benefit from re-staining every 2–3 years, though this varies with sun exposure, wood type and the quality of the previous finish. We're happy to assess your specific surface and give an honest recommendation.
What's the difference between staining and painting?
Stain soaks into the wood and lets the natural grain show through while sealing it against moisture, whereas paint sits on top and fully hides the wood. For most decks and fences, stain offers better long-term protection with less peeling and flaking over time.
Do you repair damaged wood before staining?
Yes — loose boards, damaged pickets, wobbly railings and rotted posts are repaired or replaced first. Staining over damaged wood only hides the problem temporarily, so we always address structural issues before any finish is applied.
How long does staining take to dry?
Most stains are dry to the touch within a few hours, but we recommend keeping the deck or fence free of foot traffic, furniture and pets for at least 24–48 hours to let the finish properly cure.
What's the best time of year to stain a deck or fence in Richmond, VA?
Mild, dry weather in spring and fall tends to give the best results, since stain needs time to cure without rain or extreme heat. We'll help you plan the job around a good weather window.
