Tennessee’s Climate Demands Quality Wood Staining
Most of Tennessee falls under a humid subtropical climate, averaging about 50 inches of rain every year. This heavy rainfall, combined with high humidity during the summer months, can create major problems for your wooden fences and decks:
- Trapped Moisture: Tennessee’s high humidity encourages water to seep into untreated wood, leading to rot and structural weakness.
- Accelerated Fading: Intense sun exposure without UV protection quickly bleaches natural pigments, leaving wood looking gray and worn.
- Increased Fungal Growth: Rainwater seeps into wood pores, leading to swelling and creating ideal conditions for mold and mildew growth.
Don’t let Tennessee weather take its toll. Contact Harpeth Painting today for expert protection on your decks and fences.
The Benefits of Professional Wood Staining
Professional wood staining from Harpeth Painting offers multiple advantages:
- Enhanced Protection: Stains penetrate deep into the wood grain to create a clear, breathable seal that highlights natural beauty, blocks moisture entry, and prevents warping or cracking.
- UV Resistance: High-quality stains contain UV inhibitors that shield wood from sun damage, reducing fading and discoloration over time.
- Mold & Mildew Prevention: Our expert painters use stains that contain mildewcides that inhibit fungal growth, keeping decks and fences looking fresh.
- Low Maintenance: Professionally applied stains simplify upkeep, with annual cleanings and spot treatments often being all that’s needed to maintain beauty and durability.
Partnering with Harpeth Painting for professional-grade wood staining creates a durable barrier that combats these elements and preserves the beauty of your backyard fence and decks.
Choosing the Right Wood Stain and Technique
Not all stains are created equal. Harpeth Painting’s professional technicians evaluate factors such as wood type, exposure levels, and desired finishes to help you select:
- Stain Type: Choose from clear, semi-transparent, or solid wood stains. From natural wood enhancement to full-color coverage, we offer stain options to match your aesthetic goals.
- Stain Formula: Choose between oil-based or water-based stains for your fences and decks. Oil-based stains often penetrate more deeply and offer superior water resistance, but take longer to dry. Water-based stains are easier to apply, dry quickly, and are easier to clean up, but do not provide the same moisture resistance.
- Application Methods: Whether it’s by brush, roller, or sprayer, our team employs the technique that will ensure even coverage and deep penetration for maximum longevity.

How Harpeth Painting Ensures Lasting Results
With decades of experience serving Nashville and Franklin, Harpeth Painting follows a meticulous process to ensure a beautiful finish every time:
- Surface Preparation: We begin by power washing or hand scrubbing your deck or fence to remove old finishes, dirt, and mildew. This creates an ideal surface for stain adhesion.
- Quality Products: We use quality products and materials from the leading manufacturers, including stains with advanced sealants and UV inhibitors.
- Skilled Application: Our trained specialists meticulously apply multiple coats with brush and roller techniques to penetrate the wood fibers fully.
- Protection During Drying: We protect the painted surfaces with tarps and other methods to allow for adequate drying time. For water-based stains, we recommend 24 to 48 hours of drying time. For oil-based stains, we recommend up to 72 hours of drying time.
- Final Inspection: Before we leave the job site, we inspect every inch to address any touch-up needs and to guarantee flawless results.
Our attention to detail is why homeowners and businesses trust Harpeth Painting for superior wood staining that endures Tennessee’s toughest conditions.
