Deck Staining: West University Place, Harris County
West University Place sits in Harris County with 14,791 people across roughly 2.0 square miles, and housing stock varies street to street. Our deck staining scope is set after we look at your house rather than off a price sheet, because Board ends wick moisture first, so they get the extra coat.
