TBF Painting is your trusted local wood staining contractor, serving Pinellas County with expert care for decks, fences, doors, and trim since 2011. Our professional staining services enhance the natural beauty of wood, protect against Florida’s harsh weather, and extend the life of your outdoor features.
Enhance & Protect Your Wood With Expert Staining
Wood staining does more than add color it protects your investment. A professionally applied stain and sealer combination helps defend against:
- UV degradation from the Florida sun
- Moisture absorption that leads to swelling or cracking
- Mold and mildew that thrive in humid climates
- Premature aging caused by constant exposure
When properly done, staining not only highlights the wood grain but also helps resist rot, splintering, and insect damage. With TBF Painting, you get more than stain you get protection that lasts.
Our Complete Staining Services
We offer a complete range of residential wood staining services designed for Florida’s climate and architecture:
Deck Staining & Sealing
Your deck takes a beating from the sun and rain. We prep the wood thoroughly, choose the right oil-based or water-based stain, and finish with a clear sealer to protect from UV rays, foot traffic, and water damage. Most decks benefit from a new stain recoat cycle every 2–3 years.
Fence Staining & Color Matching
Don’t let your fence fade into the background. Our staining services restore and protect wood fencing with custom color matching to blend with your home, landscape, or HOA guidelines. Both semi-transparent and solid stains are available.
Door & Trim Staining
Our door staining and trim refinishing services bring out the best in your entryways, garage doors, and baseboards. We use precision tools and finishes that highlight grain while standing up to daily use and weather exposure.
Custom Features: Pergolas, Railings, Shutters
We handle specialty structures like pergolas, wood railings, and shutters giving each one a high-quality, even finish that elevates your curb appeal and withstands the elements.
Wood Types We Work With
Our staining process is tailored to the wood species, porosity, and previous treatment. We work with:
- Pressure-Treated Pine – common in fences and decks, needs time to dry before staining
- Cedar & Redwood – naturally rot-resistant but benefit from UV protection
- Douglas Fir, Oak & Hemlock – smooth interior and exterior use, stain evenly
- Hardwoods (Ipe, Mahogany, Teak) – require deep-penetrating oil stains for proper absorption
- Engineered Trim Boards – often need solid stains for coverage and sealing
We assess every surface before we begin, ensuring your wood gets the right prep and finish.
Our Staining Process
We follow a proven, detailed process for flawless results and long-term protection:
1. Inspection & Product Selection
We evaluate the wood’s age, species, grain, and previous coatings. Based on your goals and location, we recommend the best stain type, color, and opacity.
2. Surface Preparation
We begin with power washing or gentle cleaning to remove dirt, algae, and old coatings. For aged or damaged wood, we may sand or strip surfaces for better absorption.
3. Application
We apply stain with brushes, rollers, or sprayers depending on the surface and detail level. Our team ensures consistent coverage and smooth saturation for rich, even color.
4. Sealing & Finish
Most projects include a clear topcoat or an integrated stain + sealer product to protect against moisture, mold, and sun damage. This step also adds a soft sheen and durability.
5. Final Walkthrough & Cleanup
After curing, we walk you through the work, make any requested touch-ups, and leave your property clean and ready to enjoy.

Common Questions About Staining
How long does a deck stain last?
Typically 2–3 years depending on sun exposure and wood type. We recommend a recoat cycle based on wear patterns.
Do I need to strip old stain before reapplying?
Yes, if the old stain is peeling or heavily worn. We’ll assess whether stripping, sanding, or a simple cleaning will prepare it properly.
Can you match an existing stain color?
Absolutely. We offer custom color matching to blend with your current finish, home colors, or landscaping elements.
What’s the difference between paint and stain?
Paint creates a thick film that covers grain and may peel over time. Stain penetrates the wood, enhances texture, and allows the surface to breathe.
How soon can new wood be stained?
Pressure-treated wood typically requires 4–8 weeks to dry. We'll test moisture levels to confirm when it's ready for finish.
Do you offer eco-friendly stains?
Yes. We offer low-VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) and water-based stain options that are safer for kids, pets, and indoor use while still offering strong performance and color.
