A complete deck staining and oiling transformation of a 4-bedroom family home — restoring weathered timber back to life with a rich, natural finish and high-quality premium decking oils.
The deck had not been treated in over 12 years. The timber boards had developed fine cracks and surface wear across several areas, and the existing finish was a faded mix from previous treatments. The decking showed sun and water staining, and the handrails and steps had significant weathering, indicating the protective coating had completely broken down.
The homeowners were also preparing to sell the property within three months, which meant the deck finish had to be flawless. Presentation and durability were absolutely essential.
We began with a full timber assessment and finish consultation — working closely with the homeowners to select the ideal decking oil and colour that would enhance the natural grain and appeal to visitors. The deck finish was a rich natural timber tone with subtle highlights on the handrails and steps.
All timber repairs and surface preparation were completed before a single drop of oil was applied. We used premium decking oils for maximum UV and water resistance, ensuring a durable, easy-to-maintain finish suited to a family-friendly outdoor living space.
No shortcuts. Every item on this list was completed to our full quality standard before we handed the freshly stained and oiled deck back to the client.
"We honestly didn’t think the deck could look this good. The team was so thorough with all preparation work — the difference was visible from day one. Our clients said it was the best-presented outdoor space they had seen that season."
