Outdoor spaces are everything in West Michigan. From hosting summer barbecues to relaxing on cool fall nights, our decks get put through the wringer thanks to this beautiful but harsh climate. We know the winters here can be brutal on outdoor wood.
That’s why so many homeowners call That 1 Painter for our exceptional deck staining services. Think of it as sunscreen for your deck – we’ll make that wood look gorgeous while protecting it from damage for years to come.
Our process starts with pressure washing with a special wood brightener. We strip everything down to the bare wood, removing years of dirt, chalky residue, mildew, and more. Don’t worry; we’ll replace any cracked boards or make repairs while we’re at it.
Next comes choosing your deck’s dream color. Do you want a crisp, natural wood look with our transparent stains? Or go bold with a rich walnut semi-transparent? So many options! And our stains are specially formulated to stand up to sun, snow, and ice.
We take care of the rest – lightly sanding, carefully applying the new stain, and tidying up any mess. We guarantee you’ll think you have a brand-new fancy deck once we’re done.
We start by pressure washing using our wood brightener formulated for the Midwest climate. This removes built-up dirt, chalking, and mildew, prepping your deck for maximum stain absorption.
Next, we strip away any failing previous stains to allow for proper adhesion of the new stain. This process works great on the pine and cedar decks common around Grand Rapids, Holland, and Muskegon.
We replace any cracked, warped, or broken deck boards to restore the structural integrity of your outdoor living space, preparing it for our lasting deck stain service.
Our crew sands down rough areas on your wood decking, smoothing it for evenly applied staining. This attention to detail ensures your transformed deck looks fantastic.
We use a spray-and-back-roll method to evenly apply premium stains across your deck’s surface, allowing the wood to absorb the protective stain. Our stains are UV-resistant, rapid-drying, and available in various colors.
With its variable climate of sun, rain, snow, and ice, unprotected wood decking in West Michigan can easily fall victim to damage from moisture, UV rays, fungi, and insects. Staining your deck properly shields and preserves the wood while beautifying your outdoor space.
We recommend reapplying stain to your West Michigan wood deck every 2-3 years on average. This frequency will vary a bit depending on specific weathering and wear. More frequent staining maintains that pristine new deck look and prevents costly repairs.
It depends on the final look you prefer and the level of protection needed for your particular deck’s location and exposure. We offer transparent, semi-transparent, and solid color deck stain options that stand up well to West Michigan’s climate extremes. Our experts can advise you on the perfect choice!
Absolutely. We replace damaged planks, smooth any splintering, reinforce loose connections, and apply pre-stain conditioners to rejuvenate faded, gray wood for decks suffering from years of exposure and deterioration. We can bring even the most distressed decks back to life so they can shine again.
We exclusively use Benjamin Moore deck stains engineered to dry quickly in humid Mid-Atlantic climates. Their rapid-cure formulas allow most jobs to be fully completed in 2-3 days from start to finish. This minimizes downtime so you can quickly enjoy your refreshed outdoor entertaining space.
