Deck & Fence Painting

Your deck is one of the most used and most exposed surfaces on your property. It handles foot traffic, furniture, grills, weather, and direct sunlight every day of the year. Without a protective coating, the wood breaks down fast.

We prep every deck by cleaning the surface, sanding rough or splintered areas, and inspecting the boards and structural supports for signs of rot or weakness. If boards need replacing, we will tell you during the walkthrough and include the cost in your bid. We do not paint over wood that should be replaced.

For painting, we apply exterior-grade coatings that create a solid barrier against moisture and UV. For staining, we use penetrating products that soak into the grain and protect from within while showing off the natural character of the wood. The right choice depends on the type of lumber, the current condition, and the look you want. Vance will walk the deck with you and recommend the approach that gives you the longest life for your money.

A fence that looked great the year it was installed can turn gray, warped, and splintered within two or three seasons if it is not coated. Most homeowners do not think about their fence until it starts falling apart, and by then, sections may need to be replaced entirely.

Painting or staining a fence is one of the most cost-effective ways to extend its life by years. We clean the surface, sand rough spots, and address any pickets or posts that have started to split or lean. Then we apply a coating that seals the wood against the elements.

We handle privacy fences, picket fences, split rail fences, and custom fencing. If your fence runs along a property line, we work carefully around landscaping, irrigation, and neighboring structures. The goal is to protect the wood and keep the fence looking like it belongs to the property, not like an afterthought.

Arbors and gazebos are designed to be focal points in your yard. They frame entryways, shade seating areas, and define outdoor living spaces. When the finish is peeling or the wood has gone gray, they stop being features and start being eyesores.

These structures have a lot of exposed surfaces and joints, which means they take weather damage from every angle. Top surfaces collect rain and snow. Vertical members get hit by wind-driven moisture. Horizontal beams absorb UV all day long.

We prep arbors and gazebos the same way we prep everything else: clean, sand, repair, and then coat. We pay close attention to the joints and connection points where water likes to pool and rot starts. If your structure has decorative details or lattice work, we take the time to coat every surface rather than just hitting what is easy to reach.

Sheds sit in the back of the yard and most people forget about them until the door sticks, the siding warps, or the whole thing looks like it is about to collapse. A coat of paint or stain is the cheapest insurance policy you can put on a structure that costs thousands to replace.

We paint and stain storage sheds, workshop sheds, and garden sheds of all sizes. If the shed has T1-11 siding, lap siding, board-and-batten, or plain plywood, we adjust the prep and product to match the material.

We will also be upfront with you about the condition of the shed. If the framing is sound but the siding is failing, painting makes sense. If the structure itself is compromised, spending money on paint is not the right move, and we will tell you that rather than take your money for a job that will not hold up.

Playsets and playhouses take a beating from kids, weather, and time. The wood dries out, splinters form, and the surface goes from smooth to something you worry about every time your child grabs a railing.

Painting or staining a playset does two things. It protects the wood from further deterioration, and it seals the surface so splinters are far less likely to form. Both matter when small hands and bare feet are on the structure every weekend.

We sand the entire structure before coating to smooth out any rough areas that have already developed. We inspect the hardware, check for loose joints, and flag anything that looks like a safety concern. The products we use on playsets are selected for durability and are safe for surfaces that kids will be touching and climbing on regularly.

Properties in Colorado Springs often have outbuildings that need the same attention as the main home. Barns, horse stables, tack rooms, and large storage structures all have wood siding that takes punishment from Colorado’s weather year after year.

The scale of these projects is bigger than a standard fence or deck job, and the surfaces often include a mix of materials: wood siding, metal roofing, concrete block, and exposed framing. We assess the entire structure during the walkthrough and recommend the right products for each material.

For horse stables, we use products that are safe for use around animals and that hold up to the moisture and ammonia common in equine environments. Not every paint or stain is appropriate for that application, and using the wrong product can create a health issue for your animals or peel within months. We will recommend what works and explain why.
