Exterior Staining

Protect Your Exterior Wood
the Right Way

Did you know exterior wood in Colorado needs re-staining every 3 to 7 years? At high elevation, intense UV rays quickly wear down protective coatings, exposing wood to damage and increased fire risk. Re-staining is essential—but it must be done the right way, not just quickly patched over.

Proudly Serving Colorado Communities

We believe a roof is what really makes a home a home. Without an expertly installed roofing system, your property may not receive the protection it needs against Colorado's extreme elements.

Why it Matters in Colorado

Living at a higher elevation means stronger UV exposure. Up here, the sun’s rays are intense — and they can do serious damage to your exterior wood over time, wearing down stain faster than you might expect.

What UV Rays Do

Once UV rays penetrate your stain, they begin breaking down the wood beneath — charring it like a smoldering log on a Colorado campfire. This not only ages your siding but also increases fire vulnerability, putting your home at greater risk.

The Right Way to Re-Stain

Re-staining isn’t just a routine — it’s a crucial part of home care in this climate. Experts recommend re-staining every 3 to 7 years. But don’t just slap on a coat and call it done — there’s a proper process for long-lasting protection.

You don’t always need new siding — sometimes, you just need the right process. With expert prep and staining, your weathered wood can look brand new again.

Common Pitfalls

Here are some things you very much want to avoid

"Fuzzy" wood

Most painters try to power-wash the existing stain out of the wood. The problem with that approach is it frays the surface of the wood, leaving inconsistencies (and leaving your wood looking "fuzzy," like in this photo). They should first be using a stain remover to prepare the surface to properly accept new stain.

Etched, drippy wood

Stain remover is an important step in the RIGHT way to re-stain wood siding, but it's a powerful product, and you need an expert to apply it correctly. Leave it on too long and the stain remover can actually etch itself into the wood, creating permanent drip marks and effectively ruining your wood.

But even when they remember to use a stain remover (for the correct amount of time), there's still another step that often gets skipped ... REVIVE.

Why is it so important to use Revive?

Some painters may use the stain remover but neglect using the revive product because they see that the stain is out and assume the new stain will bring the wood back to where it needs to be, saving them time and money. The problem is that the stain remover and the existing stain on the substrate are like water and oil. They don’t mix and the stain remover pushes the stain out. Even after power washing the stain remover, you are left with remnants of stain remover in the wood. You need an emulsifier to extract the remaining stain remover, like what Dawn soap does to oil with water.

That’s where the revive by Sherwin Williams comes into play. It’s only after we use the revive product on your home’s siding that it is like new, healthy, and ready to accept the new stain and protect your home from those U.V. rays.
