Deck Refinishing Process Georgetown MA

Why Proper Prep Takes Two Days

Most contractors rush deck prep because it’s tedious work. We spend the time because your deck’s longevity depends on it.

Day one starts with thorough power washing to remove all dirt, mildew, and loose material. Then comes inspection of every board for rot, loose nails, and structural problems. Any issues get fixed before staining begins – no shortcuts that come back to haunt you later.

Day two brings proper sanding to create the surface texture that allows deep penetration. Only then does the premium stain application begin, typically two coats for maximum protection. The process takes longer, but your deck gets years of worry-free performance from it.

What South Georgetown Decks Actually Face

Your deck deals with challenges most of Massachusetts doesn’t see. Salt air from the coast accelerates wood deterioration. Frequent fog creates moisture that ordinary stains can’t handle. Temperature swings between ocean breezes and inland heat cause expansion that cracks inferior finishes.

We use marine-grade stains specifically formulated for coastal New England. These products penetrate deeper and flex with temperature changes instead of cracking. They resist UV damage and moisture penetration that destroy cheaper alternatives within months.

Your service includes complete structural repairs, premium materials designed for local conditions, and thorough cleanup. Most importantly, you get honest advice about whether restoration makes sense or if replacement would serve you better long-term.

How often should I paint my deck in Massachusetts?

Most wood decks in Massachusetts need refinishing every 2-3 years, but quality makes a huge difference. Decks that received proper prep work and premium stains often go 4-5 years between treatments. New England’s freeze-thaw cycles, UV exposure, and moisture penetration accelerate wood deterioration faster than most regions. Decks facing south get more sun damage, while those under trees deal with constant moisture and organic debris that feeds mildew. You’ll know it’s time when water soaks into the wood instead of beading up, when the color looks faded or gray, or when you see any areas where the previous stain is wearing thin or peeling.

Should I use deck paint or deck stain?

For Massachusetts weather, quality stain typically outperforms paint because it penetrates the wood and moves with natural expansion and contraction. Paint creates a surface film that can crack and peel as wood moves with temperature changes. Stain failures are much easier to fix – usually just cleaning and reapplication. Paint failures often require complete removal before starting over, which becomes expensive quickly. However, if your deck was painted before, switching to stain means stripping all the old paint first. In those cases, high-quality deck paint designed for extreme weather might be more practical than the labor-intensive conversion process.

Can you paint decks during Massachusetts winters?

Traditional deck stains need temperatures above 50°F for proper application and curing, which makes winter work difficult in Massachusetts. Most quality products also require 24-48 hours without precipitation after application. Some specialty stains work down to 35°F, but they cost more and have strict application requirements. The wood must also be completely dry, which can take weeks after snow melts depending on conditions. The smart approach is planning your deck refinishing for late spring through early fall when weather consistently supports proper curing. This ensures maximum longevity from your investment rather than gambling on marginal conditions.

What does deck painting cost in South Georgetown?

Professional deck painting in South Georgetown typically runs $2-5 per square foot, depending on your deck’s condition and required prep work. A standard 300-square-foot deck usually costs $600-1,500 for complete refinishing including cleaning, repairs, and premium stain application. Decks needing extensive repairs, paint removal, or board replacement cost more upfront but still far less than replacement. New deck construction runs $25-50 per square foot in this area. The key is getting detailed estimates that specify exactly what prep work is included. Low-ball quotes often skip crucial steps like proper cleaning, sanding, and repairs – leading to premature failure and higher costs down the road.

Do you fix deck problems before painting?

Absolutely. Most Massachusetts decks need some repair work before refinishing, especially after harsh winters that cause nail pops, board warping, and joint separation from freeze-thaw cycles. Common repairs include replacing rotted boards, securing loose railings, setting protruding nails, filling gaps and cracks, and addressing structural issues that could affect finish longevity. These repairs get quoted separately but performed as part of the same project. Painting over structural problems just hides them temporarily while allowing continued deterioration underneath. Proper repairs ensure your new finish has a solid foundation and will perform as expected for years.

What if it rains after you finish painting?

Rain within 24-48 hours of deck staining can cause poor adhesion, uneven color, and premature failure. That’s why we monitor weather forecasts carefully and only start work when conditions allow proper curing time. If unexpected weather threatens a project, we have protocols to protect freshly stained surfaces with temporary coverings. But the better approach is proper timing from the start rather than trying to work around questionable conditions. Some premium stains offer rain resistance within 12 hours, but these specialty products cost more and have specific application requirements. The investment often makes sense for projects with tight timing constraints or unpredictable weather windows.
