Decks, docks-side stairs and exterior wood
Weathered, greying or peeling wood usually needs cleaning, repair and preparation before stain. Note loose boards and soft spots so repairs can be discussed alongside staining.

Local project planning
Planning work on a cottage you are not at every day
A cottage in Estérel faces different conditions than a city home. Lake humidity, long winters and freeze-thaw cycles are hard on exterior wood, and rooms that sit closed for weeks can show moisture marks or peeling paint sooner than expected.
Many owners spend the week in Montreal. Tell us how the property can be accessed, who should receive photo updates and whether the work must be finished before a particular weekend or rental period. A clear handover plan matters as much as the surfaces themselves.
Regular service in Estérel means an on-site estimate does not require a special trip. Send photos and a short description first; we can then arrange a visit to confirm conditions, access and the full scope of work.
Seasonal timing
Exterior stain needs suitable weather and dry wood. Ask early if you want the deck ready for summer, or plan interior painting for the cooler months.
Remote coordination
Share access details, a contact for updates and any arrival dates. That lets the work move forward while you are in the city.

Do you really serve Estérel from Montreal?
Yes. We schedule projects and estimates in Estérel and the surrounding lake communities on a regular basis, so on-site visits are easy to arrange alongside photos and a short description of the work.
Do I need to be at the cottage during the work?
Not necessarily. Explain how the property can be accessed and who should receive updates, and we will discuss the arrangement when planning the project.
When is the best time to stain a deck in the Laurentians?
Staining needs dry wood and suitable temperatures, typically late spring to early fall. Contact us early to plan the preparation and timing for your deck.
