Yes, we provide Deck Staining & Sealing in Charleswood, and most jobs run between $400 and $1,500, with a full project finished in 2–3 days. But a Charleswood deck isn't the same as a deck in a sunny new subdivision: the tree cover along the Assiniboine River drops leaves and sap from spring through fall, and riverside decks take on extra moisture that a standard single-coat job won't fix. That's why every Charleswood project we take on starts with proper prep, not just a coat of stain.
What's included in a Charleswood deck staining job
Our deck staining and sealing service in Charleswood includes:
- Power washing and deep cleaning, we strip off the sap, leaf tannins, and gumbo clay that blow up from the floodplain.
- Sanding and brightening, we remove the grey weathered film so the new stain actually absorbs into the wood, not just sit on top.
- Repairs, popped nails, splinters, and loose boards get fixed before anything is sealed.
- Two coats of premium penetrating stain, Sikkens or TWP, both formulated to flex with Winnipeg's freeze-thaw cycle. No cheap film-forming paints that crack and peel by January.
- An extra riverside pass, if your deck sits within 50 metres of the Assiniboine River, we add a second waterproofing layer on the end grain, where moisture wicks in fastest.
We don't spray and go. The job takes 2–3 days depending on deck size and condition, and you'll see the difference in how the stain absorbs.
Pricing for deck staining & sealing in Charleswood
Typical Charleswood decks fall between $400 and $1,500. The final quote depends on:

- How many years since the last stain (weathered decks need extra sanding)
- Whether you're on the river side (adds the extra waterproofing pass)
- Condition of the boards and railings

The process, how we work
1. Free quote, we walk your deck, check the wood, check the moisture, and give you a firm price.
2. Prep day, power washing, sanding, brightening, and repairs. This is where most cheap deck jobs cut corners, and why their finish fails after one winter.
3. Staining day, first coat of penetrating stain, let it absorb, then a second coat.
4. Final walkthrough, we check every board, every joint, every end grain. You sign off before we pack up.
Why choose us
We're a deck-only crew. We don't paint houses or wallpaper rooms, decks are all we do, full-time in Winnipeg. That means our prep is deeper, our stains are the premium stuff, and our work survives a Manitoba winter.
The tree cover along the Assiniboine River is beautiful, but it drops leaves and sap onto decks from spring through fall. If you don't clean and brighten properly before staining, that sap traps the finish and your deck rots from the inside. We've seen that all over Charleswood. And if your deck sits close to Cole Lake or the river itself, you need a penetrating stain that flexes with the boards, not a hard film that cracks. That's why we use Sikkens and TWP, the same products used on high-end docks.
