FAQ
FAQ — Orinda deck & fence painting
Why does one side of my fence stay green and the other doesn't?
+
Shaded north-facing panels in Orinda's fog-adjacent microclimate retain moisture longer and grow algae faster than sun-exposed sides. The fix is biocide pre-treatment before washing, not just power-washing over the growth, plus a mildew-resistant stain formulation on recoat.
How long do stains hold up in Orinda?
+
Orinda's cooler, shadier climate is relatively kind to finishes. Penetrating stains typically last 3-5 years. Shaded north-facing runs can hold toward the longer end; sun-exposed south-facing surfaces degrade faster.
Can you work on decks with custom railings?
+
Yes. Orinda properties often have custom railing work — wood balusters, cable rail, or composite rail on wood posts. We estimate railing linear footage separately from deck surface footage so the scope is clear.
My deck is on a slope — does that affect the job?
+
Sloped lot access adds staging time and sometimes requires more setup to work safely. It doesn't change the staining process, but we factor it into the estimate upfront rather than adjusting after.
Orinda sits just over the Caldecott Tunnel, where the morning fog burn-off leaves wood surfaces damp well into the day during spring and fall. Combined with mature canopy on most residential lots, shaded fence sections here develop algae growth that typical power-washing won't fully clear. We handle deck and fence prep, repairs, and refinishing for Orinda homeowners — with the biological prep and extended dry times that the local microclimate calls for.

Decks and fences we work on in Orinda
Orinda housing stock is predominantly custom and ranch-style from the 1950s through 1980s, sitting on smaller backyards than Lafayette or Moraga but with mature canopy overhead. Redwood fencing is standard in older properties; newer sections and replacement panels run cedar. Decks here tend to be modest in size but often multi-level on sloped lots, with custom railing work. We work on redwood, cedar, pressure-treated pine, and composite decking (Trex, TimberTech, Fiberon). North-facing fence panels near wooded property lines are the most common source of algae and moss issues in Orinda.
Our deck & fence refinishing process
We apply a biocide pre-treatment to any panels with active algae or moss, let it dwell, then pressure-wash — soft-wash on older, softer redwood to preserve the grain. After washing, dry time runs 48-to-72 hours at minimum, longer on shaded or fog-prone properties. We sand rough grain, check and reset fasteners, and replace soft or cracked boards. For penetrating stains we use TWP (Total Wood Preservative), Penofin, or Ready Seal. Solid color work uses Sherwin-Williams SuperDeck or Benjamin Moore Arborcoat. On consistently damp north-facing panels we include a mildew-resistant formulation as a standard step, not an upsell.
Stain vs paint for Orinda
Orinda's cooler, fog-influenced microclimate is gentler on finish systems than the inland heat — penetrating stains here typically hold 3-5 years. On sun-exposed south and west deck faces and fence sections, TWP or Penofin are solid choices that let the grain show and soak in without forming a peel-prone surface film. On north-facing shaded fence panels, a solid color coating with mildew resistance often outperforms a penetrating stain — UV isn't the primary degradation driver on those surfaces, moisture is, and a denser coat handles that better. For custom deck work where aesthetics matter, semi-transparent penetrating stain is the most common owner request in Orinda.
What drives the cost in Orinda
Algae and moss pre-treatment adds prep scope. Sloped lots add staging and setup time. Board condition on older redwood — soft posts, weathered rails — drives carpentry scope. Deck size and railing configuration are the main surface-area drivers. Properties with tight access between fences or structures can add setup time. Extended dry windows on shaded properties sometimes stretch the job timeline.
Recent Orinda projects
We recently prepped and stained a redwood fence on a Canyon Road-area property — biocide wash on the north-facing panels, soft-wash throughout, 72-hour dry on the shaded sections, and two coats of TWP 100 in a natural cedar tone. Also finished a cedar deck on a sloped lot near Glorietta: pressure-washed, dried, and applied Benjamin Moore Arborcoat semi-transparent in a warm brown. Both jobs ran three days due to the dry windows.
