We will stain your IPE to maintain its rich, dark color.
From your deck to your fence, you can always count on us at Capital Staining LLC to enhance and protect your wood surfaces through staining services. Wood staining is our specialty, and we have the expertise to stain even exotic hardwoods like IPE.
Your IPE deck or fence will offer excellent performance for many years to come on its own. Unlike other types of wood, IPE is resistant to rot, pests, and moisture. Without IPE staining, your IPE surfaces will develop a silvery patina within a few months. If you prefer your deck or fence to retain its deep, rich color instead, turn to us for treatment. We will use high-quality products for your IPE staining needs, preserving the color of your surfaces and preventing fading from UV rays.
We are proud to use Messmer’s UV Plus products, which are American made and among the best available. These stains are oil-based, helping them to penetrate deeply and allowing for application in all kinds of weather since they won’t wash off in the rain.
When you turn to us for IPE staining in Loudoun County, Virginia, we can assist you in selecting the right stain color for your deck, fence, or other wood surfaces. We will also do our best to answer any questions you may have. Contact us today to schedule a free on-site estimate.

FAQs About IPE Staining
IPE wood is known for its exceptional durability, density, and natural resistance to the elements. Because it weathers differently from softer woods, our customers at Capital Staining LLC often have questions about our IPE staining process. Some of those questions and the answers can be found below.
Hidden
Why should I consider IPE staining?
IPE staining is the best way to preserve the wood’s deep brown color and make sure it is well-protected over the years.
What type of stain do you use?
We use a high-quality oil-based penetrating stain formulated for hardwoods from Messmer’s UV Plus. Because IPE is extremely dense, their specialized products absorb better and provide more even protection.
How often should my IPE deck be re-stained?
Most IPE decks benefit from staining every 12–18 months, depending on sun exposure. Heavily sun-exposed areas may need touch-ups sooner. Once we get a closer look at your particular deck, we can provide you with a more precise answer.
Can I do IPE staining myself?
While you can, IPE’s density and varying grain patterns can limit stain absorption, causing uneven color. Our team has the tools, knowledge, and skills to ensure a smooth finish. Plus, by leaving the task to us, you can focus on other responsibilities.
How long does IPE stain take to dry?
IPE staining typically dries within 24–48 hours, though humidity and temperature can extend the process. It’s best to avoid heavy foot traffic until the surface is fully cured.
