Prep is 80% of the job
Stain slapped over dirty, flaking timber fails in a season. Andy does it properly: waterblast the old grime and loose coating off, let the timber dry out, sand the rough spots, fix anything wobbly, then coat. That's why it lasts.
Protection you can see
A good stain or oil feeds the timber, blocks UV greying and keeps moisture out, which means fewer cracked boards and rusted fixings. It's also the difference between a backyard that looks tired and one that looks looked-after.
The prep starts with waterblasting, and any broken palings or wobbly rails get fixed by the handyman side of the operation before the stain goes on.
Streb covers the whole city and surrounds, from the CBD to the Port Hills, Selwyn and Waimakariri, including Riccarton, Papanui, Hornby, Halswell, Sumner, Rangiora, Rolleston and Kaiapoi. See the full service area.

Common questions
When's the best time to stain a deck or fence in Christchurch?
Spring or autumn. Peak-summer sun dries stain too fast and unevenly, leaving a patchy finish. Shoulder-season warmth with settled, dry weather gives the coating time to soak in properly. Andy plans the job around the forecast.
Do you fix the fence or deck first?
Yes. Loose palings, popped nails and wobbly rails get sorted before any coating goes on. No point sealing in a problem.
How long does staining last?
Typically two to four years depending on product, sun exposure and wear. Decks in full sun want re-oiling more often than a shaded fence. Andy will give you an honest timeframe for yours.
