At 5,584 feet elevation, Colorado’s intense UV accelerates wood damage, and temperatures ranging from 20°F in January to 84°F in July create freeze-thaw stress that breaks down unprotected decking. Effective sealing requires climate-appropriate products and thorough surface preparation to withstand these conditions.

Not Sure If You Need deck sealing? Here’s What to Know
Deck boards have turned gray or faded from UV exposure at altitude.
Deck boards stay their original color longer and resist splitting under Colorado’s high-altitude UV.
Water soaks into the wood instead of beading on the surface.
A uniform finish across every board – no streaks or lap marks visible from the yard or deck.
Previous stain or sealer is peeling, flaking, or wearing unevenly.
Wood stays dry through Lakewood’s wet winters and summer dry spells, reducing rot and swelling over time.
Splinters and surface cracks are appearing on floorboards and railings.
Barefoot-safe boards through summer – sealed surfaces resist the splintering that Lakewood’s 20°F-to-84°F seasonal swings cause in unprotected wood.

In Lakewood, the best window for deck sealing is late spring through early fall when temperatures are consistently above 50°F and humidity is lower. Lakewood's driest months, June through September, provide the most reliable conditions for deck sealing. Avoid sealing during high-humidity periods like February (66% average humidity) or when overnight temperatures may drop below freezing.
Both methods have advantages depending on the surface. Rolling provides better control and penetration for flat deck boards, ensuring even coverage. Spraying can be efficient for railings and spindles but requires back-rolling to work the sealer into the wood. Most professional deck sealing projects use a combination of both.
