Restore, Protect, and Enjoy Your Outdoor Spaces
Your deck is an essential outdoor feature that deserves to look great and stand strong against the elements. At Driftless Exteriors, we specialize in restoring weathered wood to its original beauty — while protecting it from future damage. Whether you need a quick refresh or a full transformation, we offer homeowners across Winona, La Crosse, Onalaska, and the surrounding area expert cleaning, staining, and painting services to help you reclaim and enjoy your outdoor spaces.
Our Process
We use a multi-step restoration process to eliminate years of exposure and wear:
Step 1: Deep Cleaning
We start with a specialized solution to break down mold, mildew, algae, and grime. Then, our safe but powerful washing method lifts away buildup to reveal clean, healthy wood.
Step 2: Surface Preparation
After cleaning, we inspect for damage and prep the surface for stain or paint application. This step ensures proper bonding and a uniform, long-lasting finish.
Step 3: Staining & Painting
Once prepped, we allow a 48-hour dry time to ensure all moisture is gone. Then:
- We help you select the perfect oil-based stain or exterior-grade paint
- Our expert team applies a smooth, even coat for enhanced color and protection
- The finish seals the wood to guard against UV rays, moisture, and wear
Whether it’s a high-traffic deck or a perimeter fence, our finishes are designed to prevent fading, splintering, water damage, and surface cracks—so your woodwork looks better and lasts longer.
