When is it Too Cold to Refinish my Deck?

If you’re a homeowner in Boulder, Denver or anywhere in the Front Range wondering, “How late or early in the season can I refinish my deck?” you’re in luck. At Colorado Deck Master, we use Boodge oil-based deck stain, that allows us to extend the refinishing season even when the weather cools down. Here’s what you need to know about refinishing your deck with Boodge oil-based deck stain.

Denver and Boulder’s weather, with warm days, chilly nights, and occasional early snow, can make outdoor projects tricky. Traditional stains and sealants often require specific conditions—temperatures between 50°F and 85°F, low humidity, and no rain for 24-48 hours. However, Boodge makes planning refinishing work easier. Its unique formula is not temperature-dependent and can withstand rain or snow almost immediately after penetration, making it ideal for the Front Range’s variable fall and spring weather.

Why Boodge Oil-Based Stain Extends the Refinishing Season

Unlike water-based or temperature-sensitive products, Boodge deck stain offers unmatched flexibility:

• Moisture Resistance: Once it penetrates the wood, Boodge fills the wood pores with oil through capillary action and can handle moisture almost immediately. This eliminates the need for a long dry window.
• Temperature Versatility: Boodge performs reliably in a wide range of temperatures, even well below 50°F, allowing us to refinish your deck well into late fall or early in the spring without compromising quality. It can even freeze the night we stain.
• Durable Finish: Its deep-penetrating formula protects against Denver’s harsh winter elements, including snow, ice, and freeze-thaw cycles.

This means we can often refinish decks as late as late as December, or as early as February, depending on the weather, giving Denver homeowners more flexibility than ever.

How Late Can You Refinish with Boodge Oil-Based Stain?

With Boodge Oil-Based Stain, the refinishing window in Boulder and Denver extends significantly. Here’s how to make the most of late-season refinishing:

1. Monitor the Forecast: While Boodge is moisture-resistant post-penetration, it needs to be applied to a dry deck. We aim for a day with no heavy rain or snow during the application process.
2. Work with Experts: Our team at Colorado Deck Master knows how to apply Boodge Oil-Based Stain for optimal results, even in cooler or less predictable conditions. We’ll time the project to maximize efficiency and ensure a flawless finish.
3. Protect Your Deck for Winter: Refinishing with Boodge in late fall ensures your deck is shielded from Colorado’s brutal winter weather. Our deck stain prevents moisture damage, UV fading, and wood cracking, extending your deck’s lifespan.
