A 300 sqft deck typically costs $800–$1,500 for stain/seal, or $1,500–$3,000 if power washing and board repair is included. Fence staining runs $1–$3/sqft."},{"question":"How often should I stain my deck in Sacramento?","answer":"In Sacramento's climate, decks need re-staining every 2–3 years for semi-transparent stain, or 3–5 years for solid stain. The intense UV and dry heat break down finishes faster than coastal areas. Annual sealer touch-ups extend life."},{"question":"What's the best stain for Sacramento weather?","answer":"Semi-transparent oil-based stains (like TWP or Penofin) penetrate deepest and handle Sacramento's heat best. For maximum UV protection, solid stains last longer but hide wood grain. We recommend products rated for high-UV environments."}],"related_services":[{"slug":"interior-painting","name":"Interior Painting","price_range":"$1,500–$6,000"},{"slug":"exterior-painting","name":"Exterior Painting","price_range":"$3,000–$10,000"},{"slug":"cabinet-painting","name":"Cabinet Refinishing & Painting","price_range":"$2,500–$6,000"}]}}
