A weathered deck or porch doesn’t mean it’s done—it just needs a refresh. At Punch List Pros, we provide professional deck and porch refinishing services to bring tired wood back to life. Our team removes stains, smooths surfaces, and applies protective finishes that preserve the look and strength of your outdoor space.
This service is perfect for extending the life of your existing deck and improving both safety and style.
Why Refinishing Is Essential
Wood is durable—but only when it’s protected. Refinishing helps:
- Prevent rot and water damage by sealing out moisture
- Restore color and grain lost from sun bleaching or wear
- Extend deck lifespan by reinforcing surface integrity
- Improve safety by sanding splinters and smoothing uneven planks
- Boost curb appeal with a like-new look
We take your dull, gray wood and turn it into something you’ll want to show off again.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I switch from paint to stain (or vice versa)?
Yes, but it requires additional sanding or stripping. We’ll walk you through the options.
2. How often should I refinish my deck or porch?
Every 2–3 years for stain, or 3–5 years for paint, depending on exposure and use.
3. Do I need to be home during refinishing?
Not necessarily. We just need clear access and instructions for pets or entry points.
4. Will the refinishing stain my siding or nearby surfaces?
No. We tape and protect all adjacent surfaces during the process.
5. Can you match my existing deck color?
Yes—we carry color-matching samples or can recommend fresh tones if desired.
6. How long before I can walk on the deck after staining?
Typically 24–48 hours, depending on humidity and product used.
