Professional deck painting that stands up to coastal weather, salt air, and freeze-thaw cycles – because your deck deserves better than yearly touch-ups.
Your deck stops being an embarrassment and becomes the outdoor space you actually want to use. No more gray, weathered boards that splinter under bare feet. No more patchy stain that screams “failed DIY project.”
Instead, you get rich, even color that makes your neighbors take notice for the right reasons. Water beads and rolls off instead of soaking in and rotting the wood from underneath.
Most importantly? You stop worrying about it. No more weekend projects trying to salvage what should have been done right the first time. Just a beautiful deck that adds real value to your home and gives you years of worry-free enjoyment.
Twenty-plus years in business means we’ve seen what works and what fails in Ipswich’s coastal climate. We understand what salt air does to wood. How humidity from the river and marshes creates perfect conditions for mildew. Why cheap stains crack after one freeze-thaw cycle.
We’ve worked on colonial homes near the Whipple House and modern builds in the newer developments. Every deck teaches us something new about exposure, wood types, and how different stains perform in our specific microclimate.
Our team lives here too. We drive past decks we stained five years ago and see how they’re holding up. That real-world feedback shapes everything we do – from the products we choose to the techniques we use. It’s why we never cut corners on prep work and why we only use stains specifically formulated for New England’s harsh conditions.
First, we inspect every board, rail, and joint. Loose boards get secured, protruding nails get countersunk, and any rot or damage gets addressed before we touch a brush. No point in staining over problems.
Next comes the real work – cleaning off everything that’s currently on your deck. Pressure washing for light buildup, chemical stripping for stubborn old stain. We remove every trace of mildew, weathering, and failed previous coatings so the new stain can actually bond to clean wood.
Then we sand everything smooth. This isn’t optional – rough surfaces hold stain unevenly and wear faster. We work through progressively finer grits until your deck feels like furniture.
Finally, we apply premium stain in thin, even coats. We work with Ipswich weather, not against it, waiting for perfect conditions between coastal fog and afternoon humidity. The final protective sealant locks everything in and gives you maximum protection against whatever next winter brings.

Every project includes complete surface preparation – not just a quick power wash, but thorough cleaning, sanding, and repairs. We secure loose boards, countersink protruding nails, and address minor rot before applying any stain.
You get premium stain chosen specifically for Ipswich’s coastal conditions. Not the big-box store products that fail after one winter, but professional-grade stains that penetrate deep and flex with temperature changes instead of cracking and peeling.
Your deck faces unique local challenges. Salt air from Plum Island accelerates weathering. Humidity from the Ipswich River marshes creates perfect mildew conditions. Winter freeze-thaw cycles stress every surface and joint. Our deck painting process accounts for all of this with proper product selection and application techniques.
We also provide color consultation to help you choose stain that complements your home’s historic character or modern style. Whether you want to highlight natural wood grain or go with solid color that hides imperfections, we guide you to the right choice for your specific deck and situation.
