High‐plains sunshine, dramatic temperature swings, and occasional hail all put Cheyenne decks through the wringer. A fresh coat of quality stain every two to three years is the best defense, but only if it is applied with professional surface prep and climate-specific products. CountBricks pairs leading residential construction expertise with AI-driven estimating tools to make deck staining Cheyenne projects predictable, affordable, and beautiful.
Speak naturally on your phone and our software converts your voice notes into a detailed scope of work, complete with real-time material costs drawn from regional suppliers.
Upload a photo of your deck or a PDF of house plans. CountBricks automatically calculates square footage, linear railing, and stair treads, translating takeoffs into labor-task line items.
The moment you approve an estimate, CountBricks generates a branded quote document you can sign electronically. Need to tweak color or add rail replacement? Edit on the fly and regenerate in seconds.
• Deck size in square feet

• Railing complexity and baluster count
• Choice of oil-based vs. water-based stain
• Add-ons such as board replacement or hardware upgrades
1. Basic single-level deck, 200–250 sq ft: $2.50–$3.75 per sq ft

3. Large or multi-story deck, 500+ sq ft: $4.00–$5.75 per sq ft
These numbers are updated automatically inside CountBricks.com/services as local supplier prices fluctuate, so your estimate is always current.

Semi-Transparent Oil
• Rich color that highlights grain
• Excellent water repellency
• Requires adequate ventilation during application
Water-Based Acrylic
• Fast drying; ideal for short weather windows
• Lower VOCs, easy cleanup
• Slightly shorter lifespan than high-quality oils
Solid Color Stain
• Paint-like opacity hides older wood
• Superior UV protection in high-altitude sun
• May show traffic patterns sooner on stairs
• Schedule staining for late spring or early fall when daytime temps stay between 50 °F and 80 °F.
• Test moisture using a hand-held meter; wood above 15 % moisture content won’t absorb stain evenly.
• Always back-roll horizontal surfaces to push product into checks and cracks.
• Apply two thin coats instead of one heavy coat to prevent peeling.
• Keep a maintenance log in the CountBricks app to receive automated reminders when it is time for a refresh.
• No more spreadsheet chaos—materials, labor tasks, and markups live in one cloud dashboard.
• Faster approvals mean crews stay booked and productive.
• Auto-generated invoices speed up cash flow and reduce admin overhead.
• Built-in photo documentation secures peace of mind for both contractor and homeowner.
