Common Deck Problems
Massachusetts weather is tough on decks. Here's how we solve the problems that ruin outdoor living.
"Is your deck gray, splintered, and unsafe for bare feet?"
We restore weathered decks to like-new condition with deep cleaning, sanding, and professional-grade stains that protect for years.
"Previous deck stain peeled or wore off too quickly?"
We use premium penetrating stains that soak into wood fibers - not sit on top. Plus thorough prep ensures proper adhesion.
"Worried about toxic chemicals around your family and pets?"
We offer eco-friendly, low-VOC stains that are safe once dry. Your kids and pets can enjoy the deck within 24-48 hours.
"Not sure if your deck needs staining, painting, or replacement?"
We provide honest assessments. If staining will work, we'll do it beautifully. If replacement is needed, we'll tell you.
"Can't enjoy your outdoor space because it looks terrible?"
A properly stained deck becomes your favorite outdoor room. We'll restore it so you actually want to spend time there.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I re-stain my deck?
In Massachusetts climate, most decks need re-staining every 2-4 years depending on exposure, foot traffic, and stain quality. Penetrating stains often last longer than film-forming stains.
What's the difference between stain and paint for decks?
Stain penetrates wood and shows grain while protecting from UV and moisture. Paint sits on top, hiding grain but can peel. For horizontal surfaces like decks, we recommend stain.
Can you stain a previously painted deck?
If the paint is peeling, we need to remove it first. If it's solid, we can apply a solid-color stain over it. We'll assess your specific situation and recommend the best approach.
When is the best time to stain a deck in Massachusetts?
Late spring through early fall when temperatures are 50-90°F and no rain is expected for 24-48 hours. We monitor weather carefully and schedule accordingly.
Do you stain railings and stairs too?
Absolutely! We stain all deck components including railings, balusters, stairs, posts, and any attached structures like pergolas or benches.
How do I maintain my newly stained deck?
Keep it clean with periodic sweeping and annual washing. Avoid harsh chemicals. We'll provide maintenance tips specific to your stain type.
