Walker County
Deck staining in Chickamauga, Georgia
A small town with farm country all around it. Decks here are often on older farmhouses or newer homes on a few acres.
Farmhouse porches and back decks
Wraparound porches, back decks that step down to a yard, and the odd carport or pole barn. We'll look at all of it and help you decide what's worth doing first.
Full sun, open fields
Out of the trees, a deck takes the full Georgia sun all afternoon. UV breaks down a finish faster than anything. A semi-transparent with good pigment holds up better than a clear, which can look great for a season and then quit.
Photo estimates save a trip
It's a drive for us, so photos help. Send a wide shot of the whole deck plus a few close-ups, and you'll usually get a range before we ever come out.
Best time to book in Chickamauga
Same as the rest of the area: September and October are the sweet spot. The driest months here on average are October (3.59 in.) and August (3.67 in.)NOAA. Fall dates fill first, so get your photos in early. Why fall works best.
Local question
Asked in Chickamauga
Why not a clear sealer? I like the natural look.
Clear finishes have almost no pigment, and pigment is what blocks the sun. In full sun they wear off quickly. A light 'toner' or a semi-transparent keeps the natural look and lasts much longer.
