Deck & Fence Staining in Hillsboro & Portland Metro

Keep your deck, fence, and outdoor structures looking their best and protected from Oregon’s tough climate. Our professional staining services restore weathered wood and shield it from moisture, UV damage, and everyday wear.

Keep Your Outdoor Wood Looking Great — and Protected

Oregon’s wet winters, humid springs, and hot summers create the perfect storm for outdoor wood damage. Without regular maintenance, decks and fences can quickly gray, split, warp, and develop mold or mildew — turning what should be a beautiful outdoor space into an eyesore and a safety concern. Professional staining is the most effective way to stop that cycle and extend the life of your wood by years.

At Native Son Painting, we’ve been helping Portland-area homeowners protect their outdoor investments since 1964. A quality staining job isn’t just about looks — it penetrates the wood to create a barrier against moisture and UV rays, preventing the kind of rot and decay that leads to expensive replacements. It’s one of the smartest maintenance investments you can make for your property.

Our Deck & Fence Services

Deck Cleaning & Brightening

Over time, dirt, mildew, algae, and old stain residue build up and dull your deck's appearance. We use professional-grade cleaners and wood brighteners to strip away the grime, restore the wood's natural color, and open the grain for optimal stain absorption — a critical first step that many DIY jobs skip.

Deck Staining & Sealing

We apply premium penetrating stains that soak deep into the wood grain, providing rich color and long-lasting protection from the inside out. Paired with a high-performance sealer, your deck gets a durable barrier against moisture, UV rays, and everyday foot traffic — keeping it looking great through years of Pacific Northwest weather.

Fence Staining

Your fence takes a beating from rain, sun, and wind year-round. Our professional fence staining penetrates deep into the wood to prevent cracking, warping, and gray discoloration. We work with a range of semi-transparent and solid stain options so you can choose the look that best complements your property.

Pergola & Arbor Staining

Pergolas, arbors, and trellises add character to your yard — but exposed wood needs protection. We carefully clean, prep, and stain these structures to bring out the natural beauty of the wood while shielding it from moisture and UV damage, so they stay a focal point for years instead of an eyesore.

Our Deck Staining Process

Cleaning

We start with a thorough power wash to remove all accumulated dirt, mildew, algae, and loose debris. Then we apply a professional wood brightener that restores the wood’s natural tone and opens the grain to accept stain more evenly and deeply.

Sanding & Prep

Once the wood is clean and dry, we sand down any rough spots, raised grain, or splintered areas to create a smooth, consistent surface. We also carefully mask and protect surrounding landscaping, siding, and concrete to keep the work area clean.

Stain Application

Our team applies premium penetrating stain using techniques that ensure deep, even absorption into the wood grain. We work methodically across each board to avoid lap marks and ensure a rich, consistent color throughout your deck or fence.

Sealing

For maximum longevity, we finish with a high-performance sealer that locks in the stain and adds an extra layer of defense against moisture, UV exposure, and foot traffic. The result is outdoor wood that looks rich, feels smooth, and holds up beautifully through years of Pacific Northwest weather.
