TOPS Fence & Deck Staining

About Us

We're TOPS Fence & Deck Staining; we've been a local fence & deck company here in Fort Smith, AR, since 2002. Owner, Brian Lahtinen, started TOPS Fence & Deck Staining to provide the community with superior fence & deck restoration. We believe in excellent service, and are happy to offer cleaning & staining services for fences and decks. Here at TOPS Fence & Deck Staining, we know how to preserve the investment you’ve made in your fence, deck, or home. We work to bring any fence/deck back to life, & strive to leave it looking just as nice as the day it was built. What's our secret? We use our TOPS Premium Blend Wood Sealer, a penetrating oil based, tinted wood sealer, mixed by Brian himself! Our sealant is unlike any other, containing 100% pure oil base, algaecides, fungicides, and ultra-violet inhibitors; TOPS Premium Blend Wood Sealer penetrates into the cell structure & body of the wood, leaving it more vibrant while also expanding it's lifespan. Our sealer works to prevent your wood from mold/mildew growth, graying, warping, and cupping. The best part? It is available for purchase! We're looking forward to growing our business to continue to serve Fort Smith and the surrounding areas. We'd like to personally invite you to contact us today for fence/deck cleaning, restoration, staining, and more!

FAQ

Can you restore a weather-damaged deck or fence to look like new?

Yes! Our full restoration services include deep cleaning, sanding, and custom staining to bring your old, worn-out deck or fence back to life. We use high-end, oil-based stains that not only revitalize appearance but protect against future damage — saving you money on costly replacements.

What’s included in your full-service deck and fence staining?

We handle everything: prep, cleaning, and premium staining using our custom-formulated oils. Unlike store-bought stains, ours penetrate deeper, last longer, and give your wood a rich, vibrant finish. It’s a complete transformation that adds long-term value to your home.

Do you offer staining for other wood structures like pergolas or barns?

Absolutely. We stain and preserve a variety of wood structures, including pergolas, siding, barns, garages, and outdoor buildings. These larger projects are our specialty and are perfect for homeowners who want to elevate their curb appeal and protect their investment.
Unlike other brands that use paint pigments with solvent or paint thinner bases, which merely coat the surface and dry quickly, our TOPS Premium Blend Sealer is a penetrating, oil-based, tinted wood sealer. It works its way into the wood's cell structure, preserving its natural vibrancy and extending its lifespan. Our formula contains algaecides, fungicides, UV inhibitors, and waterproofers to protect against the elements and maintain your wood's beauty and integrity.

With our sealer, you’ll enjoy long-term protection against mold, mildew, and the dreaded graying, warping, or splitting that can affect untreated wood. Choosing TOPS means choosing lasting quality that not only enhances the appearance of your wood but also ensures its durability for years to come.

Do you offer commercial wood staining or preservation services?

Yes! We work with property managers, builders, and business owners to restore and stain decks, fences, and wood structures on commercial properties. If your business has outdoor wood features, we’ll help you protect and beautify them with long-lasting results.

How can I protect my wood surfaces from future hail or storm damage?

We specialize in hail damage restoration and offer protective staining solutions that help seal your wood from future storm exposure. Our custom blends are designed to repel water, reduce mildew growth, and minimize surface damage after harsh weather.
