Wood Dale Decks and Fences Need Protection

Pressure-treated wood
Most Wood Dale decks are pressure-treated. It resists rot but needs to dry completely before staining. We test moisture content first.
Cedar and redwood
These woods naturally resist rot but need UV protection to stay looking good. We use clear or semi-transparent stains that let the wood show.
