Deck Painting & staining in Lexington, MA.
Sand, stain, and seal — restoring weathered Lexington decks with UV-resistant penetrating finishes that hold up through Massachusetts winters.
Lexington decks restored to last another decade.
Lexington is Revolutionary War country — antique colonials and saltboxes around the historic Battle Green, Federal-era homes near the center, 1950s–70s ranches and capes through East Lexington, and high-end contemporary customs throughout. The historical preservation expectations here are real and welcomed.
Our Lexington deck restoration process
- Strip or clean — chemically strip failing solid stain, or wood-brighten + light-sand UV-grayed boards.
- Sand to fresh grain — 60- or 80-grit floor-sander on horizontal surfaces; hand-sand railings.
- Repair — tighten or replace loose boards and fasteners; spot-repair rot.
- Apply penetrating stain or solid-color seal — Benjamin Moore Arborcoat, SW SuperDeck, or Cabot for transparent/semi-transparent; solid-color stains where boards are old enough to need full color hide.
- Two coats minimum with manufacturer-spec dry time between.

Answers from Lexington homeowners.
Can you paint a Lexington antique near the Battle Green?
Yes. Pre-1900 Lexington antiques are a specialty project for us — lead-safe containment and HEPA cleanup, breathable primers on original substrate, hand-finished trim work, and historically appropriate paint colors when the homeowner wants period accuracy.
What does a deck restoration cost in Lexington?
Cost depends on deck size, board condition, railing complexity, and finish type (transparent stain vs solid). Every quote is free, on-site, and itemized.
Should I stain or paint my deck?
On weathered or new wood we usually recommend semi-transparent stain — it penetrates rather than peels. Solid-color stain or paint is the better call only on decks that already have a paint history or have aged past the point where stain reads well.
When can you start a Lexington deck project?
Deck staining season runs late April through mid-October — we need 50°F+ daytime temps and 48 hours of dry weather on either side. Outside that window we book ahead to lock in spring slots.
