Book Wood Staining & Finishing in Ocala and surrounding areas

Wood decks, fences, doors, and trim add warmth and character to your property, but they need protection from sun, rain, and humidity. Wood staining and finishing in Ocala restores faded surfaces and seals them against the elements. You'll see the natural grain come to life as stain is applied evenly across every board and post. Mike's Precision Painting handles staining for decks, fences, doors, and interior trim, using transparent, semi-transparent, and solid stain options depending on your goals and the condition of the wood.

UV-protective and weather-resistant finishes are used to guard against sun damage and moisture infiltration. Stripping and refinishing older wood surfaces are available if your deck or fence has an existing stain that's peeling or fading. Custom color-matching is also part of the service, allowing you to match existing tones or choose a completely new look for your woodwork.

Secure your wood staining and finishing in Ocala and protect your investment for years to come.

Details That Matter Most

When you schedule a staining project, the work begins with surface preparation—wood is cleaned, sanded, and inspected for damage. Any loose boards or nails are addressed before stain is applied. You'll see a noticeable difference in how the wood looks once the first coat goes on, especially in Ocala's bright sunlight where UV damage is common.

Mike's Precision Painting uses high-quality stains with UV blockers and water repellents built into the formula. Decks, fences, and exterior doors are treated with products designed to withstand heavy exposure, while interior trim receives finishes that highlight the grain without adding unnecessary protection. The crew applies each coat evenly, ensuring full coverage on all surfaces.

If your wood has an old stain or finish, stripping is done carefully to remove the existing coating without damaging the surface. Once stripped, the wood is sanded smooth and prepped for the new stain. The result is a clean, uniform finish that looks professionally done.

How Our Process Works

Many property owners in Ocala have questions about stain types, prep work, and how long finishes last. Here are answers to the most common concerns.

What's the difference between transparent and solid stain?
Transparent stain shows the wood grain and natural color, while solid stain covers the grain like paint but still allows texture to show through. Semi-transparent sits between the two.
How long does stain last on a deck or fence?
Most stains last two to four years, depending on sun exposure, foot traffic, and weather conditions. UV-protective finishes extend the lifespan by reducing fading and breakdown.
Do you strip old stain before applying new finish?
Yes, if the old stain is peeling, flaking, or uneven. Stripping removes the damaged coating, and the wood is sanded smooth before the new stain is applied.
Can you match an existing stain color?
Absolutely. Custom color-matching is available, so new sections blend seamlessly with older wood. You can also choose a completely different shade if you want a fresh look.
How long does the stain need to dry before I can use the deck?
Most stains are dry to the touch within a few hours, but you should wait 24 to 48 hours before walking on the surface. Full curing takes about a week in Ocala's humid climate.
