Keeping Your Sacramento Deck Looking Great Year-Round 

Living in the Sacramento area means soaking up the California lifestyle. From morning rides along the American River Parkway to evening barbecues in your backyard, we know how to make the most of it. But Sacramento’s hot, dry summers and occasional heavy rains can damage your deck. Whether you have a Victorian charmer in Midtown or a ranch style in Granite Bay, That 1 Painter can keep your outdoor space looking its best no matter the weather. 

We don’t just slap on a simple stain. Our experienced crew understands the Sacramento area’s climate challenges. We use premium products and techniques specifically chosen to handle dryness, UV damage, and wood-boring pests. First, we meticulously power wash away built-up dirt and grime. Then, we expertly apply stains designed for our region to reinforce your deck for durability. 

After years of deck care service in California’s capital, we know which stains stand up to the intense sun, dry air leading to cracks, and heavy rains causing warps. Choose from transparent, semi-transparent, or solid stains perfectly matched to your home’s style.

OUR PROCESS

STEP 1

Scrub Away Dirt, Pollen, and Grime  

We kick things off with a deep clean using our specialized two-stage power washing method. First, we blast away surface gunk. Then, we use a wood brightener to lift stubborn dirt from deep in the wood fibers. This restores your deck’s natural good looks.  

STEP 2

Reinforce Against Sun, Dryness, and Rain

Sacramento’s climate extremes can weaken your deck over time. We replace any outdated hardware with weather-resistant screws, nails, and fixtures to keep your deck going strong for years.

STEP 3

Smooth Away Splinters for a Flawless Finish   

A smooth surface allows the richest, most even stain application. We start by sanding away any rough spots and splinters with coarse grit, then refine it to silky smoothness with ultra-fine sandpaper. This gives the stain an optimal surface to grab onto.

STEP 4

Hand-brush for Deep, Rich Color

Our painters believe meticulous hand-brushing is key. Using quality brushes, we work the specially chosen stains deeply into the wood grain for maximum durability. These stains are designed specifically for the Sacramento area’s unique climate. 

STEP 5

Protect the Fresh Finish as it Cures 

Once staining is complete, we install protective fencing and breathable covers. This shields your deck from debris and moisture to ensure an even, beautiful outcome as the stain cures.

We were extremely pleased with the work done on our two story Victorian home. The painters worked very hard and were courteous and friendly. We would definitely hire That 1Painter of Sacramento again and will refer our friends and family to them.

I couldn’t be more thrilled with the experience I had with That 1 Painter! From the moment we met the owner, Tommy, it was clear we were in good hands. He was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to delivering high-quality work. His crew was equally impressive—punctual, respectful, and incredibly skilled. This was a full residential exterior painting project, and the results exceeded all expectations. The prep work alone was outstanding—they took the time to do it right, including some much-needed stucco repair that now blends seamlessly with the rest of the home. The attention to detail throughout the entire process was second to none. The team worked efficiently and left the property spotless each day. Most importantly, the finished product is absolutely stunning—our home looks brand new! We've received countless compliments from neighbors, and we’re proud to say That 1 Painter did the work. If you're looking for a professional, high-quality, and trustworthy painting company, look no further than That 1 Painter. Tommy and his crew are the real deal—true craftsmen who care about their work. Highly recommended!
