Golden Stain is a licensed, insured, owner-led crew serving Lakeway and the Lake Travis communities in the Hill Country west of Austin. We built the business refinishing fences and decks, cleaning years of gray and mildew off the wood and brushing warm, protective stain back in, and the same crew now handles the whole homeowner list. Deck work, cleaning, painting, handyman repairs, and outdoor fixes all come through one number and one team. With a 4.9-star rating from 120 plus Google reviews and a typical response inside a day, we keep your Lakeway home looking its best.
What we cover in Lakeway
Lakeway is an established lakeside community in the Hill Country, and its homes tend to have large decks, balconies, and outdoor living spaces built to take in the views, which means a lot of exterior wood facing strong sun. We handle every part of keeping a home in shape:
- Fence and deck: pressure wash, full prep, board repair and replacement, and hand-brushed, back-brushed staining with weather-rated products.
- Cleaning: streak-free window cleaning, house and siding soft wash, driveway and patio pressure wash, and gutter clearing.
- Painting and finishes: interior and exterior painting, cabinet and trim finishing, and low-VOC options on request.
- Handyman: carpentry and small builds, fixture and lighting installs, shelving, outdoor structures, and punch-list repairs.
- Roofing, concrete and outdoor: concrete repair and sealing, small-scale roofing fixes, and weatherproofing.
- Seasonal and specialty: holiday and accent lighting hung and taken down for you, plus seasonal maintenance.
What Lakeway homeowners request most
Large deck and balcony refinishing is the standout call in Lakeway, where elevated outdoor spaces catch full sun and reflected light off the lake all day. Homeowners want the wood stripped, repaired, and resealed before boards check and rails loosen. Exterior wood staining on siding and trim follows, since so many homes feature natural wood accents, along with soft washing to clear grime and mildew and window cleaning to keep those big lakeview panes clear.
Made for the Lakeway climate
Lakeway gets hot, humid Hill Country weather with the added exposure of sun reflecting off Lake Travis. Long, intense summer heat and that reflected light bake decks, balconies, and sun-facing walls, while high humidity keeps shaded boards, siding, and railings damp enough for mildew and algae to grow. Cedar and oak and other woods absorb the moisture and swell, then check and loosen as they dry, cutting short the life of any finish not applied over properly prepped wood. We plan for it by using heat and humidity-rated stains and paints, cleaning and treating wood so mildew does not return quickly, and sealing surfaces against the moisture that does the most damage here.
Why Lakeway homeowners hire Golden Stain
Before staining work begins, you get the warranty in writing: one year on transparent, two years on semi-transparent, and three years on solid stain. We show up on time, protect your plants and patio, and leave the site cleaner than we found it. Larger projects can be financed, and we accept major credit cards, bank transfer, cash, and Zelle. That dependable, honest service is why so many Lakeway neighbors bring us back and pass our name along.
Frequently asked questions
My Lakeway deck faces the lake and the sun is brutal on it. What holds up?
Reflected light off the water adds to the sun load, so we use UV and weather-rated stains and focus on thorough prep. A properly cleaned and sealed deck resists fading and lasts longer than a quick recoat in that exposure.
Can you refinish a raised balcony or multi-level deck?
Yes. We are set up to prep and stain elevated decks, balconies, and railings safely, keeping the finish even across every level.
Do you clean the big lakeview windows too?
We do. Streak-free window cleaning is part of our cleaning service, and we can pair it with soft washing and staining so the whole exterior looks its best.
Is the on-site estimate free?
Yes. Estimates are free with no obligation, so we can walk the property, see the real condition of the wood, and quote it accurately.
