Deck Cleaning & Staining in Platte City & Kansas City
Bring gray, weathered wood back to life — then protect it with professional stain applied with commercial sprayers for even coverage.
Quick answer
Deck cleaning and staining restores weathered wood decks, stairs and railings. Elite Pressure Pros cleans the wood with a wood-safe soft wash to remove gray weathering, mildew and dirt without splintering it, lets it dry, then applies a penetrating stain with professional sprayers for even coverage and UV and moisture protection. Most decks in Kansas City need re-staining every 2–3 years.

Before & After
Weathered Gray To Rich, Protected Wood
Kansas City sun, rain, snow and freeze-thaw cycles break down unprotected wood fast. It turns gray, grows mildew, and starts to check and splinter.
We clean with low pressure and a wood-safe solution (high pressure furs and gouges wood), let the wood dry, then stain. Stain is applied with professional sprayers — the same Wagner and Graco equipment we use on fences — and worked in for even, consistent color.
- Wood decks, stairs, railings and pergolas
- Composite decking cleaning (no stain needed)
- Covered patios and pool decks
- Transparent, semi-transparent and solid stain options
- Firework debris and holiday stain cleanup
Step One: A Proper Clean
Stain only looks as good as the wood underneath. This deck shows the difference our wood-safe cleaning makes — the cleaned boards (bottom) are back to bright, natural wood while the untouched section (top) is still gray and green.
Once the wood dries, it's ready for stain.

How often should a deck be stained in Kansas City?
Every 2–3 years for most decks. Decks in full sun or with transparent stains may need it sooner; solid stains typically last longer.
Do you pressure wash decks?
We clean wood at low pressure with a wood-safe solution. High pressure damages wood fibers and leaves a fuzzy, gouged surface.
How long after cleaning can you stain?
The wood needs to be dry first — usually a day or two depending on weather. We'll schedule the stain once it's ready.
Do you clean composite decks?
Yes. Composite decks get mildew and dirt too; we clean them at low pressure. They don't need stain.
