Protect and Refresh Your Outdoor Wood Surfaces

A worn deck or faded fence can affect the appearance of your entire property. More importantly, peeling paint and failed stain can leave wood increasingly vulnerable to moisture and weather damage.

A professional coating project can:

• Refresh faded or discolored wood
• Improve the appearance of your outdoor space
• Help protect wood from moisture and sunlight
• Provide a more consistent color and finish
• Extend the useful life of properly maintained surfaces
• Complement your home’s exterior colors

We evaluate the existing coating, wood condition and level of exposure before recommending paint, solid-color stain or another appropriate finish.

Professional Deck Painting and Staining

Decks receive heavy foot traffic and direct exposure to the weather. Successful deck refinishing requires more than applying another coat over the existing surface.

Our deck painting and staining services may include:

• Inspecting the deck and existing coating
• Cleaning the surface as needed
• Scraping loose or peeling material
• Sanding rough or failing areas
• Preparing exposed wood
• Applying a compatible paint or stain
• Coating deck boards, railings, steps or other agreed-upon areas

Every deck is different. During your estimate, we will identify exactly which surfaces are included so you understand whether the project covers flooring, stairs, railings, posts, skirting or the complete deck structure.

Fence Painting and Staining

A freshly coated fence can improve curb appeal while helping protect the wood from prolonged exterior exposure. We paint and stain wood privacy fences, picket fences and other suitable exterior wood fencing.

Our preparation process depends on the fence’s condition and may include surface cleaning, removal of loose coatings, sanding and spot preparation before the finish is applied.

We also clarify whether one or both sides of the fence are included in the estimate. Access, landscaping, fence height, surface condition and the total amount of detailed work can all affect the project price.

Paint or Stain: Which Is Better?

The best finish depends on the type of wood, its current condition, the previous coating and the appearance you want.

Exterior paint provides an opaque finish and offers the greatest flexibility when changing colors. It may be a suitable choice for previously painted surfaces that are still in maintainable condition.

Solid-color stain provides an opaque, paint-like appearance while being designed for exterior wood applications. It is often considered for decks, fences and other wood surfaces where a uniform color is desired.

Semi-transparent stain allows more of the natural wood grain to remain visible. It generally works best on properly prepared wood that has not been sealed beneath an incompatible coating.

We will examine the existing surface before recommending a coating. Applying the wrong product over an incompatible or failing finish can lead to premature peeling and an uneven appearance.

Proper Preparation Makes the Difference

The durability of an exterior coating depends heavily on the preparation underneath it. Painting over dirt, moisture or loose material can cause even a high-quality product to fail prematurely.

Depending on the project, our preparation may include:

• Checking the condition of the wood
• Removing loose or peeling coatings
• Cleaning dirt and surface contaminants
• Sanding rough or deteriorated areas
• Allowing adequate drying time
• Spot-priming exposed wood when required
• Applying a compatible exterior coating

Damaged or severely deteriorated boards may need to be repaired or replaced before coating. We will identify visible concerns and discuss them with you during the estimating process.
