Deck and fence staining in Vernon has to stand up to two seasons of abuse: strong summer sun and months of snow sitting on horizontal boards. Water that soaks into unprotected wood freezes, splits fibres and lifts old finishes. We clean, strip or sand back failing stain, let the wood dry and apply a penetrating stain that protects it through the next winter. Newer cedar on Predator Ridge homes needs protection too.
We stain decks, railings, fences, pergolas, cedar siding and timber accents. Staining needs dry wood and mild temperatures, so the season here runs from late spring to early fall. Travel from Kelowna, about 45–50 minutes, is included in most quotes, and we can pair staining with pressure washing or exterior painting. Fences and decks can be stained in the same visit to save a trip.
Snow that sits on a deck all winter keeps the boards wet for weeks at a time. That is why flat surfaces wear out far sooner than railings. We focus prep on deck boards and end grain, and recommend a stain type that suits how much snow your deck holds.
Larger lots in Coldstream and on the edges of town can have long runs of wood fencing. We quote by length and condition, and we spray and back-brush so the stain soaks into the wood rather than sitting on top, which is what makes it last.
Homes in Okanagan Landing, Bella Vista and Turtle Mountain often have large decks facing Okanagan Lake. These get full afternoon sun in summer and wind-driven snow in winter, so they usually need re-coating sooner than sheltered decks tucked against the house.
We stain decks and fences across the city, from wraparound lake-view decks in Okanagan Landing, Bella Vista and Turtle Mountain to long fence lines on Coldstream acreages. Cedar and timber accents on newer Predator Ridge homes, and older wood porches and railings on East Hill houses, are also regular staining jobs. Each surface is checked for moisture before any stain goes on.
Staining cost in Vernon depends on deck size, fence length, the condition of the old finish (light cleaning versus a full strip and sand), the number of railings and spindles, and stain type. Wood must be dry before staining, so spring rain or late-season dew can move dates. Travel is included in most quotes, and booking in spring gives you the best choice of summer days.
Reviews
“We are very pleased with the service from Prestige Painting Inc.! They were incredibly friendly, communicative, and prompt. They painted the entire interior of our home. They did a very thorough job patching old holes/dents, and the final finish looks amazing!”
“We recently used Prestige Painting to paint our entire office. The process was great and efficient and pricing. Akash was the lead for our project and was very communicative and even caught some areas needing touch ups that I even missed. Touch ups were completed in a timely fashion. Office looks great and employees are happy with the fresh coat of paint.”
“Without a doubt, I would highly recommend Prestige Painting. They arrived for the quote on time and went over all concerns. They arrived on time for the pre walk-through to make sure of colour choice and go over the process again. They arrived on time to paint and did a flawless job!!!”

Between late spring and early fall, on a stretch of dry days. The wood needs to dry out after snow melt and spring rain first. Early-season bookings fill quickly, so we suggest getting your estimate in early spring.
Usually the stain was a film-forming product, the wood was damp when it was applied, or the old finish was not removed. Moisture freezes under the film and lifts it. We strip back to sound wood and use a penetrating stain instead.
Yes. We quote long fences by length and condition, and we bring spray equipment so the job moves efficiently. We back-brush as we go so the stain soaks into the wood. Fences can be combined with your deck or house work.
