Should I use a clear stain or solid color?

Solid coatings last longer and hide the wear pattern that older decks have. Clear and semi-transparent stains look beautiful but need recoating every 2–3 years.

Can you paint pressure-treated wood?

Yes — but new pressure-treated lumber needs to dry out (usually 30–90 days) before it'll take a coating. We'll check moisture before we start.

Deck & Fence Painting

Deck and fence cleaning, repair, and solid coatings that lock out moisture and stand up to Ohio winters.

About This Service

Decks and fences fail fast in Central Ohio if they're not coated right. We power-wash to bare wood, sand rough spots, replace any board that's gone soft, and apply a solid stain or paint system designed to flex with the wood through freeze-thaw cycles. Done correctly, a deck repaint holds for years — done wrong, it peels by next summer.

Our Process

Inspect

Walk the deck or fence with you. Note loose boards, soft spots, and previous coating failures so the repair holds.

Clean

Power wash the whole surface to remove dirt, mildew, and failing coating. Let it dry fully before any paint goes on.

Repair

Replace damaged boards, set popped nails or screws, sand rough areas, and caulk any wide gaps.

Coat

Two-coat application of a solid stain or paint system rated for foot traffic and freeze-thaw.
