Deck staining in Hixson, from subdivisions to Chickamauga Lake
Hixson has a bit of everything: family subdivisions, wooded lots off the ridges, and lake houses on Chickamauga Lake.
The typical Hixson deck
A pressure-treated deck off the back of a two-story, about 12 by 16 to 16 by 20, with a set of stairs to the yard. It's 10 to 20 years old and was stained once, maybe twice. Most of these need a good wash, a brightener and two coats of a semi-transparent. That's our bread and butter.
Lake houses take more care
Decks near Chickamauga Lake see damp mornings, sun off the water and more mildew than a deck in town. Docks and boat-house decks are a different animal. Tell us what you've got and we'll tell you honestly what will last.
Fences too
A lot of Hixson yards have long privacy fences. If you're getting the deck done, staining the fence the same week saves you a second setup charge.
Best time to book in Hixson
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 Hixson
Can you do my deck and fence in the same visit?
Yes, and it's cheaper that way. One setup, one cleanup, and matched colors if you want them.
