Protect Your Deck. Restore Its Beauty. Make It Last.

Your deck isn’t just a surface, it’s your backyard’s gathering place. But without regular staining, it becomes vulnerable to Texas sun, rain, and rot. At Prime Deck Builders, we provide professional deck staining services in Round Rock that bring your deck back to life, and help it last twice as long.

We don’t just splash on color, we prep, protect, and perfect your deck from top to bottom.

Our Professional Deck Staining Process

We don’t cut corners. Our 5-step staining process is designed to maximize protection and beauty for every type of wood deck:

Deck Inspection

We assess the condition of your deck, including wood species, moisture levels, and prior stain use.

Washing or Sanding

We deep clean the surface to remove dirt, mildew, and old finish. In some cases, light sanding may be required for best adhesion.

Dry Time

We allow the deck to dry fully, this is key. Applying stain too early ruins finish quality.

Premium Stain Application

We apply stain evenly with brushes, rollers, or sprayers depending on your deck’s texture and accessibility. We work in controlled sections to avoid overlap or color inconsistencies.

Sealing (If Separate)

If your chosen stain isn’t a 2-in-1, we apply a protective topcoat sealant for added water resistance.

Common Deck Repairs in Round Rock

Your deck lives outdoors 24/7, and Round Rock’s weather is no joke. We use deck stains and sealants designed to perform in Texas heat, humidity, and sudden downpours. Benefits include:

  • UV blockers to prevent sun damage
  • Water-resistant formulas to block rain & spills
  • Mold- and mildew-resistant technology
  • Flexible finish to handle wood movement and drying cycles

Is It Time to Re-Stain Your Deck?

Most decks in Round Rock need re-staining every 2–4 years, depending on material, exposure, and maintenance. Here are common signs your deck needs attention:

  • Faded or washed-out wood tone
  • Water soaks into boards instead of beading up
  • Gray, weathered appearance
  • Hairline cracks or splintering
  • Visible mold or mildew patches
  • Stain flaking or peeling in high-traffic areas

     

If you’re not sure, we’ll inspect your deck for free and give you an honest assessment, no pressure.

Oil-Based vs. Water-Based Deck Stains: What’s Best for Texas?

Choosing the right stain isn’t just about color, it’s about performance. We help you understand the differences:

  • Oil-based stains: Penetrate deeply, enhance grain, offer long-lasting protection, ideal for older wood
  • Water-based stains: Faster dry time, lower VOCs, easier cleanup, better for high-moisture environments

In Round Rock’s mix of sun and storms, we guide you to the option that offers the most protection for your specific deck and conditions.

What Round Rock Homeowners Say

David R Brushy Creek, TX

"We went with composite decking after their recommendation, and it was the best choice for our busy schedule. No more sanding or staining—just a quick rinse and it looks brand new.''

Lynn & Mark T. Round Rock, TX

"Our old deck was falling apart, and we were nervous about the cost of replacing it. The team walked us through every option, gave a clear breakdown of pricing, and stuck to the timeline they promised.

Sarah M. Round Rock, TX

"From the first call to the final screw, these guys were amazing! They built us a gorgeous cedar deck that perfectly matches our backyard. The team was on time every day, cleaned up after themselves, and even gave tips on maintenance.

Deck Staining vs. Deck Painting: What’s the Difference?

While both improve appearance, staining and painting serve different purposes:

  • Staining protects and nourishes the wood from within
  • Painting covers the surface but can peel or crack over time


Stain also allows the wood to breathe and flex, especially important in Texas heat. If you’re unsure which to choose, we’ll walk you through the pros and cons for your specific deck goals.

Low-Odor & Eco-Friendly Deck Staining Options

Worried about strong chemical smells or environmental impact? We offer low-VOC and eco-conscious stain options that are:

  • Safer for kids, pets, and sensitive noses
  • Compliant with EPA standards
  • Available in both water-based and hybrid formulas
