Deck Refinishing and Staining in Cedar Rapids, IA
Gray, weathered decks brought back to life with a thorough wash, sanding, repairs and a fresh coat of stain or sealer.
Why Choose First Line Solutions for Deck Refinishing?
Iowa winters and summer sun are hard on a deck. Left alone, the wood grays, splinters and starts to rot. A proper refinish washes away the old finish and gray fibers, repairs loose or damaged boards and seals the wood with stain so water beads off instead of soaking in. Your deck looks new and lasts longer.
- Deep Clean and BrightenOld finish, dirt and gray wood fibers washed away so the stain penetrates and the color looks even.
- Repairs Before FinishingLoose boards secured, split or rotted boards replaced and popped nails reset before the stain goes on.
- Stain or Seal, Your ChoiceTransparent, semi transparent or solid stains in the tone you want, or a clear sealer to keep the natural look.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about deck refinishing and staining in Cedar Rapids and the Corridor.
Most decks need a fresh coat every two to three years depending on sun exposure and the product used. If water no longer beads on the surface it is time.
Stain soaks into the wood and wears more gracefully, which is why we recommend it for deck boards. Paint works well on railings and porch floors that already have a painted finish.
Usually two to three days. The deck is washed and left to dry, then repaired, sanded and stained. You can walk on it again after the stain cures, typically a day or two.
