Northern Kentucky’s variable seasonal climate can be harsh on backyard decks exposed to everything from humid summers to snowy winters. Older homes built decades ago in historic neighborhoods across Covington, Erlanger, and elsewhere have exterior wood that splinters, fades, and cracks over time. However, with the proper staining and restoration services, your outdoor deck in Northern Kentucky can remain a beautiful and functional outdoor living space for years.
As Northern Kentucky’s premier deck staining company, That 1 Painter offers specialized services tailored to protect the older wood found on bungalows, brick ranch homes, and other classic house styles across the area’s neighborhoods. Our team starts by power washing away dirt, mildew, and flaking previous stains, prepping the wood for refreshment. We then apply new semi-transparent stains designed to stand up to Northern Kentucky’s variable and extreme seasonal climate while showcasing your deck’s natural wood grain character.
In addition to expert staining, we also offer structural repairs for loose deck boards, railings, steps, and other issues to restore safety and aesthetics. The quick-drying stains and fix-ups mean less downtime, so you can return to hosting grill-outs with friends faster.

We kick things off by pressure washing using our customized wood brightener for the Ohio Valley climate. This removes accumulated grime, fading, and mildew, preparing your deck to fully absorb new stains.
We strip away any failing prior stains or finishes for proper adhesion of the new stain to the oak and cedar decks common around neighborhoods like Crestview Hills and Edgewood.
We replace any damaged, splintered, cracked, or warped deck boards to restore the foundation of your deck before staining.
Our pros sand down any rough areas on your deck’s wood, leveling it for an evenly applied finish. This attentiveness ensures your transformed outdoor space looks fantastic.
We use a spray-and-back-roll technique to seamlessly apply high-quality protective stains suited for Northern Kentucky’s climate across your deck. Our stains are water-resistant, fast-drying, and available in custom shades.
Great question! The humid Ohio River climate brings intense sun, heavy rains, and large temperature shifts that can damage exposed wood over time. Staining protects the wood from common issues like cracking, warping, rotting, etc. Despite what our weather dishes out, it keeps your deck going strong for years.
We recommend a fresh coat of stain every 2-3 years because of our four seasons. This ongoing maintenance preserves the wood quality and appearance for decades, even as the Cincinnati climate takes its seasonal toll.
It depends! We offer transparent, semi-transparent, solid color stains for the Ohio Valley’s humidity. The right finish depends on whether you want to showcase the natural wood tones of your deck’s pine and cedar or go for a bolder painted color look that stands out from your ranch or craftsman-style home. Let us know what look you envision and your specific wood type. We’ve got you covered!
No problem, we can replace any cracked or warped deck boards, secure loose nails, smooth rough areas etc. Proper prep means your wood fully absorbs the protective stain we apply. It just helps the finish last longer!
The process takes about 2-3 days, depending on the deck size and if repairs are needed. We also use fast-drying stains so you can get back to enjoying your Florence or Edgewood backyard ASAP!
