Bring your deck back to life or build it better than ever.
Your deck gets a lot of use. Time, rain, sun, and foot traffic all wear it down and make it look bad. What starts as fading or splintering quickly turns into rot, safety issues, and a place you don’t want to be anymore.
That’s where we come in.
At Metrovation, we carefully restore, rebuild, and stain decks using wood, composite, and PVC materials that will last. We can make your deck look new again, whether it needs a complete rebuild or just the right finish. Our work is always clean and lasts a long time.

What’s the average price for staining a deck?
In the GTA, most deck staining jobs cost between $2 and $5 per square foot, depending on the size, condition, prep work, and quality of the stain. Decks that are very worn and need sanding, stripping, or repairs will cost more. Cheap staining costs less at first, but it usually fails and needs to be redone faster.
What is the best time to stain a deck?
The best time is from late spring to early fall. You want the weather to be dry, not too hot, and not too humid. Staining in very hot weather or just before it rains makes it hard for the paint to soak in and gives uneven results.
Is staining a deck worth it?
Absolutely. Staining protects against moisture, UV damage, and cracking while making things look a lot better. If you skip it, the deck will wear down faster, cost more to fix, and last less time.
Which type of deck stain lasts the longest?
Stains made of solid materials and high quality oil based stains usually last the longest. They go deeper and protect better than cheaper water-based options.
What is the number one rated deck stain?
Cutek, Armstrong Clark, and Cabot are always among the best brands. Not just the product, but also how well you prepare and apply it makes a difference.
Should a deck be darker or lighter than a house?
Darker tones create contrast and a modern look. Lighter tones feel more natural and forgiving with wear. The right choice depends on your home style and how much maintenance you want to see.
What is the most popular deck color this year?
Rich browns, warm natural wood tones, and modern charcoal shades are leading. Clean, neutral finishes that match contemporary homes are in high demand.
Why is my deck stain still tacky after 3 days?
Usually caused by over application, poor surface prep, or staining in humid or cold conditions. The stain cannot cure properly and traps moisture, leading to a sticky finish.
What ruins composite decking?
Harsh chemicals, improper cleaning tools, standing water, and poor installation can all damage composite decking. Even though it is low maintenance, it still requires proper care.
The Bottom Line.
A deck is not just an add on. It is where people gather, relax, and enjoy their space. When it looks worn, it affects how your entire property feels.
Done right, it becomes a standout feature.
