What Our Customers Say

Don't just take our word for it — hear from Ottawa homeowners we've helped.

"Our deck was grey and splintering — Capital Sealers sanded it down and brought it back to life. It honestly looks better than the day it was built. Incredible work."

Sarah M.

Barrhaven, Ottawa

"Professional from start to finish. They showed up on time, prepped everything properly, and the stain colour is exactly what we wanted. Will definitely use them for our fence next spring."

Mike & Julie T.

"Got three quotes — Capital Sealers wasn't the cheapest but they were the most thorough. The prep work they do is a step above everyone else. The results speak for themselves."

Common Questions

How much does exterior wood staining cost in Ottawa?

Every project is different — size, wood type, condition, and stain choice all affect pricing. We provide free on-site estimates so you get an accurate quote. No surprises, no hidden fees.

How long does a typical staining project take?

Most residential projects take 2–4 days depending on size and condition. A standard deck or fence is typically 2–3 days; larger jobs like siding or multi-structure projects may take longer. We always allow proper drying time between steps for the best result.

Do you sand the wood before staining?

Yes — sanding is essential for decks, fences, and most exterior wood. It removes old finish, opens the wood grain for better stain penetration, and smooths out rough spots. This is what makes the difference between a finish that lasts 2 years vs. 5+ years.

What types of exterior wood do you stain?

We stain all types of exterior wood including decks, fences, gazebos, pergolas, wood siding, railings, trim, and more. Whether it's cedar, pressure-treated, or other softwoods, we match the right stain product to your wood type for the best results.

When is the best time to stain exterior wood?

Spring and early fall are ideal — moderate temperatures and low humidity allow the stain to cure properly. We start booking in March for the April–September season. Early booking is recommended as our schedule fills fast.
