Professional deck painting that actually protects against Massachusetts winters, summer heat, and everything in between.
Your deck takes a beating from New England weather. Rain soaks in, sun bleaches the wood, and freeze-thaw cycles crack whatever protection was there before.
When we’re done, you get a deck that sheds water instead of absorbing it. The stain penetrates deep into the wood fibers, creating a barrier that flexes with temperature changes instead of cracking off. Your deck stays protected through multiple seasons, not just until the next storm.
Most importantly, you can actually use your deck without worrying about splinters, loose boards, or that gray, weathered look that screams “neglected.”
Fine Coat Painters has been protecting Middleton Colony decks from the elements for years. We’ve seen what happens when deck painting is done wrong—stain that peels off after one winter, wood that rots because moisture got trapped underneath, and homeowners who end up paying twice.
We use stains and sealers specifically designed for New England’s climate swings. Our preparation process removes all the old, failed coatings so the new protection can actually bond to the wood.
Every project gets scheduled around the weather because we know that rushing the job when conditions aren’t right just wastes your money.
First, we inspect your deck for loose boards, protruding nails, and structural issues. Any safety problems get fixed before we start the refinishing process.
Next comes the cleaning and preparation. We power wash to remove dirt, mildew, and loose stain, then sand any rough spots smooth. This step takes time, but it’s what separates a job that lasts from one that fails in the first season.
Once the deck is completely dry, we apply the stain in thin, even coats. We work section by section to avoid lap marks and ensure complete coverage. The final step is a protective sealer that locks in the stain and provides an extra barrier against moisture.
The whole process typically takes 2-3 days, weather permitting. We don’t rush, and we don’t cut corners.

Every deck painting project includes thorough surface preparation, premium stain application, and protective sealing. We use penetrating oil stains that soak into the wood rather than sitting on top where they can peel.
In Middleton Colony, we see a lot of decks that were “maintained” with big box store stains applied over dirty or poorly prepped surfaces. These fail quickly because the stain never properly bonded to the wood.
Our process includes biodegradable cleaners, proper wood conditioning, and stains with UV protection specifically formulated for Massachusetts weather. We also handle minor repairs like loose boards and protruding fasteners as part of the service.
The result is a deck that looks great and stays protected for years, not months.
