From Faded to Fabulous: Alberta Painters Co. Deck Staining Project in Spruce Grove

At Alberta Painters Co., we take pride in transforming outdoor spaces—and our latest deck staining project in Spruce Grove is a perfect example of how the right preparation, products, and technique can turn a weathered deck into a stunning, durable outdoor feature.

Why We Chose Penofin Stain & Sealer

For this project, we used Penofin Stain & Sealer, a high-performance penetrating, oil-based, semi-transparent wood stain. We love this product because:

• It’s formulated to withstand extreme weather conditions—perfect for Alberta’s unpredictable climate.
• It offers superior durability compared to competitors.
• It provides long-lasting protection against water, mold, mildew, and damaging UV rays.
• If it rains during or after application, the finish remains unaffected—making it a reliable choice for Alberta homeowners.
• It’s also easy to maintain, meaning our clients can enjoy their deck with less hassle over the years.

Preparation is Everything

A flawless finish starts with the right prep work. For this deck, there were many surrounding plants and items, so using harsh chemical cleaners wasn’t an option. Instead, we:

1. Power washed the deck using soap to safely remove dirt, mildew, and old residues.
2. Sanded the deck boards with 80-grit sandpaper. This is an important step—sanding too smooth makes the wood slippery and prevents the stain from properly absorbing. With grit 80, we achieved the perfect balance for stain penetration and safety.

Application: The Brush Technique

Once the deck was prepped, we applied Penofin stain using the brush technique. A single, heavy coat was applied to achieve a rich, even look while allowing the oil-based formula to deeply penetrate the wood fibers. This ensures maximum protection while enhancing the natural beauty of the wood grain.

The Final Result

The transformation was dramatic—the deck went from faded to fabulous, with a warm, natural finish that complements the outdoor space beautifully. Beyond aesthetics, the homeowner can now enjoy a protected, durable deck that will stand strong against Alberta’s sun, rain, and seasonal changes.

Why Alberta Homeowners Trust Penofin (and Us)

When it comes to deck staining in Alberta, Penofin is our go-to choice for its weather resistance and ease of maintenance. Combined with Alberta Painters Co.’s detailed preparation and expert application, the result is a deck that doesn’t just look great today—it will stay beautiful for years to come.
