Why it matters

Transform your outdoor space

Your deck is where you relax and where you host people. Our deck staining and painting service protects it and makes it look like part of the house again — a finished, functional extension of your home rather than the tired part of the yard.

What you get

  • Your deck stops looking weathered

    Grey, dried-out boards come back with color and grain you can see again.

  • Sealed against Maine moisture

    The finish keeps water out of the wood, which is what actually causes rot and splitting.

  • Stain or paint — your call

    Semi-transparent stain to show the grain, or solid color to make a statement.

  • Wood or composite, we know both

    Different materials need different products; we use the right one.

  • Railings and stairs included

    We finish the whole structure, not just the deck floor.

  • Honest advice on timing

    We tell you when a deck needs repair before finish, instead of painting over a problem.

Our approach

Expert preparation for durable results

We clean the surface down to sound wood, repair what needs repairing, and sand it smooth before any finish goes on. This preparation is what makes a deck finish last through Maine's freeze-thaw cycles instead of peeling in one season.

How it works

  1. 1

    Free on-site estimate

    We measure the deck, check the condition of the boards, and give you a written price.

  2. 2

    Deep clean the surface

    We wash away dirt, mildew, and old failing finish so the new coat can bond.

  3. 3

    Inspect and repair

    We check for damage, replace bad boards, set popped nails, and sand rough spots smooth.

  4. 4

    Choose color and finish

    We walk you through stain and paint options that suit your home's exterior.

  5. 5

    Apply and protect

    We apply the finish evenly across boards, railings, and stairs, then let it cure properly before use.

Materials we use

We use premium stains and paints rated for New England's weather. Our stains bring out the natural grain while protecting against moisture, UV, and wear; our deck paints deliver vibrant, long-lasting color with the same protection.

FAQ

Deck Staining & Painting questions, answered

Should I stain or paint my deck?
Stain soaks in and shows the wood grain, and it wears more gracefully as it ages. Paint sits on top, gives you any color you want, and hides tired wood — but it needs a sound surface underneath. We look at your deck and tell you which one it is a candidate for.
How long will a deck finish last in Maine?
A semi-transparent stain on a deck floor typically wants a refresh every two to three years; railings and vertical surfaces last longer because they shed water. Solid stains and deck paints go longer still. Sun exposure drives most of the difference.
Can you finish a composite deck?
Composite decks generally should not be stained, but they can be cleaned and, in some cases, painted with the right product. We check the material first and give you a straight answer.
Do you repair boards before finishing?
Yes. We replace rotted or split boards, set popped fasteners, and sand rough areas. Finishing over a damaged deck just hides the problem for a season.
