Deck Painting & Staining in Ashland, MA.
Sand, stain, and seal — restoring Ashland decks to a rich, durable finish that stands up to New England weather.
Restore weathered decks to their original beauty.
Most Ashland decks haven't been properly re-stained in years. UV breaks down the sealer, water gets into the wood, and the boards turn gray. Our restoration process reverses all three.
- Power wash with wood brightener to remove gray oxidation
- Full sand of horizontal surfaces (60- or 80-grit) to fresh wood
- Inspect and tighten or replace fasteners, flag any rotted boards
- Two coats of penetrating transparent, semi-transparent, or solid stain
- Optional clear sealer topcoat for maximum UV resistance
Which deck finish is right for your Ashland deck?
We talk through this with every client on-site, but here's the short version:
Transparent stains
Best on newer decks in good condition. Shows the full wood grain. Lasts 1–2 years in the Ashland climate and needs more frequent refresh, but requires little prep and looks natural.
Semi-transparent stains
Our most popular choice for Ashland decks 3–10 years old. Masks some imperfections while still showing grain. Lasts 2–3 years between refreshes.
Solid stain or deck paint
Best for older decks with mixed board conditions. Covers completely, lasts 4–6 years, but can peel over time — which is why we only apply it after proper prep and spot-sanding.
Our product picks
We typically specify Benjamin Moore Arborcoat, Sherwin-Williams SuperDeck, or Cabot Australian Timber Oil — selected based on your deck's substrate and age.
