An exterior wood care brand known for deck, fence and siding stains, including water-based formulas.
Defy is a wood care brand focused on exterior stains for decks, fences, siding and outdoor furniture. Its products include water-based stains and wood cleaners and restorers designed to prepare weathered wood for refinishing. Homeowners in Nashville often look for products like these when a gray, sun-damaged deck needs to be brought back and protected. A good stain can add several seasons of protection when the wood is clean, dry and sanded before it goes on.
We are an independent contractor and use Defy and other stains when they fit the job. We clean, brighten and dry the wood, sand rough spots and apply stain in thin, even coats. We explain how color, exposure and traffic affect lifespan, and we schedule work for dry weather with proper temperatures.
