Lake Wood Takes a Double Beating

At Lake Martin, your deck and dock get hit by sunlight twice — once from above, and again reflected off the water. Combine that with the constant humidity at the waterline and the foot traffic of a full lake season, and unprotected wood grays, cracks, and splinters faster here than almost anywhere else we work.

We stain and seal the whole lakefront setup: the deck off the house, the walkway down, the dock, and the boathouse. One crew handles it all, with one consistent finish from the house to the waterline — so your place looks right from the water.

We cover the whole lake — Dadeville, Alexander City, Eclectic, Jacksons Gap, and the communities in between — from our home base in Auburn, under an hour away. And because so many lake homes are second homes, we're happy to do the work while you're away and send photos when it's done.

What We Stain at the Lake

  • Lake house decks and porches
  • Docks, piers, and walkways
  • Boathouses and boat lifts (wood structures)
  • Stairs and railings down to the water
  • Outdoor living areas and pergolas
  • Weathered gray wood brought back to life

Get It Done Before Lake Season

The smartest time to stain at Lake Martin is when the lake is quiet.

Spring and fall are perfect staining windows at the lake: the weather cooperates, the dock isn't in constant use, and the wood is sealed and cured before the busiest months. If your deck or dock is new, the timing depends on the moisture content of the wood — not a set number of months. We test it with professional moisture meters and tell you exactly when it's ready.

Already gray? That's fixable. Our wood restoration process brings weathered decks and docks back before we stain, so even older wood can look nearly new again.

Lake Martin Staining FAQs

All of it — decks, docks, walkways, boathouses, and stairs down to the water. Lakefront wood structures are some of our favorite projects, and they're also the ones that need protection most.
Absolutely — a lot of Lake Martin homes are second homes, and we're used to it. We can meet you once for the quote (or even quote from photos and a walkthrough call), do the work while you're away, and send photo updates so you see exactly how it turned out before your next trip down.
Spring and fall are ideal — you get the work done outside peak lake season, and the wood is protected before the hardest months hit. Readiness for new wood depends on its moisture content, which we test with professional moisture meters, not a set number of months.
Water. Sunlight hits your deck and dock twice at the lake — once from above and again reflected off the water. Add constant humidity at the waterline and you get wood that fades and weathers noticeably faster than the same deck would in town. That's why protected wood matters even more at the lake.
All around the lake — the Dadeville side, Alexander City, Eclectic, Jacksons Gap, and the communities in between. We're based in Auburn, under an hour from most of the lake.
We use premium, eco-friendly products that are ultra low VOC, and we're careful with our prep and cleanup around the waterline. Protecting the lake matters to us too — it's why people are here.
