Fence Staining

Protect your deck from Tennessee humidity, rain, and UV — with Sherwin-Williams SuperDeck and premium sealants built to last.

Outdoor wood takes the worst of Knoxville's rain, humidity, and UV exposure.

Without proper staining and sealing, deck boards gray, crack, and rot fast — usually within 3-5 years.

Good staining is 30% product, 70% preparation. Skip prep and even the best stain fails.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mel and his team were extremely thorough in identifying and correcting a water leakage problem from the top of our deck into the enclosed sun room below. They were both professional and courteous and provided great follow up after the job was completed. I highly recommend MI Homesiding & Roofing for any problem that involves water leakage into your home. I will definitely use MI in the future.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend MI Homesiding! They completed a major home exterior project for us including replacing and painting our siding as well as replacing our roofing and gutters. They did an excellent job and we began getting compliments immediately from our neighbors about it! Mel was very communicative and proactive, listened to our questions and ideas, and took care of things in a timely manner. His team was always professional and the work is just superb!  We not only recommend MI Homesiding, we will be using them again for future projects ourselves.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I found MI Homesiding & Roofing through their YouTube channel and called with a few questions about siding. Even though I’m not located in Tennessee and wouldn’t be hiring them directly, they answered the phone right away and took the time to answer every question in detail. They provided specific, helpful information and even assisted me in finding a contractor in my area. It’s rare to find a company so willing to help someone who isn’t even a local customer. Awesome people, excellent service, and truly knowledgeable. Thank you so much!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are very happy with MI Homesiding's workmanship and dedication to achieve the best results for our Hardyboard residing. Mel answered our calls promptly; addressing and tending to any question we had. As with any home renovation, we ran into minor issues when we removed the siding the flashing was old and damaged. MI siding was more than happy to give us a fair estimate and replace the flashing to the siding. Porta-potty & dumpster were dropped off immediately prior to process, and removed with equal precision. Workers were diligent maintaining a safe & clean work area; cleaning remnant debris on last day. We recommended MI to our neighbors, and are having them back to caulk & paint. They did an excellent job at a fair price.

Why Cheap Deck Staining Fails

Applying stain to a dirty deck = failure in 6 months.

Skipping wood brightener = uneven color and blotchy finish.

Using cheap deck stain = fades in 1 season under Tennessee sun.

Applying stain to wet wood = peeling and adhesion problems.

Not addressing rot before staining = bigger repairs later.

If rotted boards, damaged joists, or structural issues are discovered during deck prep, we stop and document with photos.
