Two Decades of Getting It Right

We’ve been protecting decks in Massachusetts and New Hampshire for over 20 years. That’s thousands of decks that are still looking great today.

Here’s what that experience teaches you: shortcuts don’t work. Cheap paint fails fast. And proper preparation makes all the difference between a deck that lasts two years and one that lasts two decades.

Every member of our team is background-checked and trained in our methods. We use premium materials because we’ve seen what happens when you don’t. And we clean up completely because your home isn’t our workshop.

Deck Refinishing Process Clifton MA

The Right Way Takes More Time

First, we inspect your deck completely. We’re looking for rot, loose boards, and areas that need repair before any paint touches wood.

Next comes preparation. We pressure wash to remove dirt, mildew, and old finish. We sand rough spots and prime bare wood. We mask and protect your landscaping and home.

Then we apply your finish in thin, even coats. Whether you choose paint for complete coverage or stain to show the wood grain, we apply it when conditions are perfect for curing.

Finally, we walk through everything with you. We point out what we’ve done and give you maintenance tips to keep your deck looking its best.

How often should I have my deck painted in Massachusetts?

Most decks in Massachusetts need refinishing every 2-3 years, but it depends on exposure and the quality of the previous work. South-facing decks get more UV damage. Decks under trees stay wet longer and may need more frequent attention. Here’s how to tell it’s time: the finish is fading, you can see bare wood, or water soaks in instead of beading up. Don’t wait until you see rot or splitting. Prevention costs less than repair. High-quality stain typically lasts 2-3 years with proper maintenance. Paint can last longer but requires more prep work when it’s time to refinish.

Should I paint or stain my deck in Clifton?

It depends on what you want to see and how much maintenance you’re willing to do. Paint gives you complete color control and hides imperfections, but it requires more prep work when it fails. Stain lets the wood grain show through and is easier to maintain over time. It soaks into the wood rather than sitting on top, so it tends to wear more gradually. For decks that get heavy use or have existing paint, we often recommend paint. For newer decks or when you want a more natural look, quality stain is usually the better choice. We’ll show you samples and explain what works best for your specific situation.

How long does deck painting take in Massachusetts weather?

A typical deck takes 2-4 days depending on size, condition, and weather. We can’t control New England weather, but we can work around it. We need dry conditions for at least 24-48 hours after application. That means no rain, heavy dew, or high humidity. We also avoid painting when temperatures are below 50°F or above 90°F. If weather delays your project, we’ll reschedule at no extra cost. We’d rather wait for good conditions than rush and give you a finish that fails early. Most of our work happens between late spring and early fall when conditions are most predictable.

What's the difference between cheap and expensive deck stain?

Cheap stain fails fast. You’ll see fading, peeling, and water damage within a year. Premium stain costs more upfront but lasts 2-3 times longer. The difference is in the resins and UV protection. Quality stain penetrates deeper and forms better protection against moisture. It also contains better pigments that resist fading from sun exposure. We’ve seen homeowners spend $200 on cheap stain only to need complete refinishing the next year. Premium stain might cost $400-500 for the same deck, but it lasts three years and looks better the entire time. The math is simple: quality stain costs less per year of protection.

Can you paint over old deck stain or paint?

Sometimes, but preparation is everything. If the existing finish is solid and well-adhered, we can often paint over it. If it’s peeling, cracking, or weathered, it needs to come off first. We test adhesion in several spots before making recommendations. Stain over paint rarely works well. Paint over stain can work if the stain isn’t too thick and we use the right primer. When in doubt, we strip it down to bare wood. It’s more work upfront, but you get a finish that lasts. Trying to paint over failing finish is like building on a bad foundation – it never ends well.

Do you guarantee your deck painting work in Clifton?

Yes, but let’s be clear about what that means. We guarantee our workmanship and materials for two years. If paint fails due to poor application or defective materials, we fix it at no cost. We don’t guarantee against normal wear, damage from furniture being dragged across the deck, or failure due to lack of maintenance. We also can’t control extreme weather events. What we can promise is quality work using premium materials applied correctly. We’ve been doing this for 20 years, and most of our customers never need warranty work because we do it right the first time. We’ll give you maintenance guidelines to help your finish last as long as possible.
