What we finish outdoors
Doing the deck and the fence in the same visit is almost always cheaper than two trips.
How a deck or fence project runs
Most decks and fences are done in two to four days, weather permitting.
Inspect and quote
We check board condition, existing finish and structure, recommend stain or paint honestly, and price the repairs in.
Clean and prep
Wash, strip failing finish where needed, sand rough boards, and cover the landscaping around the work.
Repair
Soft boards replaced, fasteners set, railings tightened. This happens before finish, not after.
Finish and seal
Stain or paint applied in the right conditions, sealed against Colorado weather, and the site left clean.

Protection first, color second
A freshly finished deck adds instant beauty and functionality to your outdoor space. More importantly, the right finish enhances the natural beauty of the wood while providing essential protection against UV rays, moisture and wear.
Colorado sun is brutal on horizontal surfaces. Regular maintenance costs a fraction of replacing rotted boards, so we would rather help you keep the deck you have than sell you a rebuild.

What needs work?
Questions, answered.
The questions homeowners ask us most about deck & fence staining.
Stain soaks in, shows the wood grain and is easier to refresh later. Paint forms a film, offers more color choice and hides damaged boards, but it can peel if moisture gets underneath. We look at your deck's age and condition and recommend one.
Colorado sun is brutal on horizontal surfaces. Most decks need attention every three to five years, and fences somewhat less often. Regular maintenance costs far less than replacing rotted boards.
We inspect for soft boards, popped nails and loose railings during the estimate and include any repairs in the quote. There is no point sealing wood that is already failing.
Yes, and doing the deck and fence together is usually cheaper than doing them in separate visits since it is one mobilization and one setup.
Decks normally run around $2 per square foot, and fences around $1.50 per square foot. Both prices move with the condition of the wood and the type of stain used.
We cover and protect surrounding landscaping before we start, and we work around irrigation and plantings rather than through them.
Interior work carries a 1-year workmanship warranty. Exterior work carries a 6, 9 or 10-year warranty depending on the system we use on your home. It is written into your paperwork, not a verbal promise, and if something peels or fails inside that window we come back and fix it.
We are almost always looking for painters, project managers and crew leads who care about doing the job right. Every opening is listed on our Careers page along with an application form, and we read every application that comes in. If you would rather partner with us (nonprofits, community groups and general contractors included), reach out and we will point you to the right person.
