Oil-Modified Alkyd Stains
• Rich color depth and water resistance
• Ideal for older cedar and redwood decking
Water-Based Acrylic Urethanes
• Low VOCs for eco-conscious neighborhoods
• Faster recoat times—spend less time off your deck
Composite-Safe Sealers
• Specialized formulas prevent slickness on capped boards
• Extend factory warranties by blocking UV damage
Our specialists recommend products rated a minimum of 5 on CountBricks’ proprietary UV Index scale, ensuring two to three summers of fade resistance before a light maintenance coat is needed.
• Salt Spray Exposure – Coastal ZIP codes may require marine-grade finishes, adding about 12% to material costs.
• HOA Design Standards – Many San Diego communities mandate specific color palettes; CountBricks pre-loads these rules into your estimate to avoid delays.
• Year-Round Sun – Intense UV accelerates drying but can cause lap marks. Our crews schedule applications during optimal morning or late-afternoon windows.
A freshly refinished deck can deliver up to 89% ROI at resale, according to recent CountBricks market studies. Even if you’re not selling, a smooth, splinter-free surface reduces liability and increases everyday enjoyment.
• Book during shoulder seasons (April or October) for quicker scheduling and lower labor rates
• Ask CountBricks to integrate LED step lighting while the deck surface is open—wiring is easier to conceal
• Choose semi-transparent stain on older lumber to hide imperfections without losing grain character
• Opt into CountBricks’ annual wash & inspect program to extend your warranty by one year
• Keep a sample can of your chosen stain; small touch-ups between full coats prevent moisture intrusion
