Deck and Fence Painting
Your deck and fence are not just functional. They are the part of the property you actually sit in, and they take more weather than anything else you own.
Wood outdoors on the Front Range is fighting rot, insects, UV and the freeze-thaw cycle at the same time. Cleaning the surface properly and letting it dry before any coating goes on is what separates a finish that lasts from one that flakes off in a season.
What is included
Deck staining and painting
The deck is cleaned to strip dirt, mildew and old finish, then left to dry fully before stain or paint goes down. Skipping the drying step is the most common reason a deck finish fails early.
Fence staining and painting
Wood, vinyl or metal, each gets a coating matched to the material. A fence is a big share of what people see from the street, so the finish matters more than its cost suggests.
Sheds, arbors and gazebos
The structures that get forgotten until they look bad. Weather-resistant products, prepped and coated the same way the house would be.
Playhouses and barns
Playhouses are finished with non-toxic, child-safe products. Barns and larger outbuildings get coatings chosen for exposure rather than for looks alone.
