Dock Staining Questions — Holly, MI
How often should a dock be stained?
Docks in Michigan should be stained every 1–2 years due to constant water contact and extreme weather exposure. Annual maintenance extends dock life significantly.
Can you stain a dock that's already in the water?
Ideally, docks are stained before spring launch or after fall removal. In-water staining is possible for permanent docks but requires careful product selection.
What products work best for docks?
Marine-grade penetrating oil stains outperform film-forming products on docks. They won't peel or blister from moisture trapped beneath the surface.
