Deck painting in Greater Boston that protects wood from moisture, UV damage, and wear most coatings fail to prevent. We prep surfaces properly — no peeling shortcuts — and apply finishes built to last. Schedule your estimate.
Boston's housing stock is unlike anywhere else in the country. Pre-war brownstones, historic triple-deckers, modern condos, and commercial buildings all exist within blocks of each other — and each requires a different approach. We've worked across every Boston neighborhood and understand what each property type needs for deck painting to be done correctly.
Every deck painting project starts with a thorough assessment. We don't show up and start working — we walk the job first, identify what prep is needed, and scope the work correctly. Proper preparation is the difference between a result that lasts and one that fails within a few years. That's not how we operate.
We're a father-son team that's been working in Greater Boston since 2013. Washington has been in the trade for over 20 years — he's painted Back Bay brownstones, South Boston triple-deckers, Jamaica Plain Victorians, and commercial buildings across the city. That experience shows in how we approach every job.

Stain is generally better for wood decks — it penetrates the wood rather than forming a film on top, which means it peels less as the wood expands and contracts. Paint creates a film that can crack and peel in Boston's climate. We recommend stain for most wood decks. Read the full guide →
Power wash, let dry completely (48–72 hours minimum), scrape any loose existing coating, sand rough areas, spot prime bare wood, then apply coating. Skipping the dry time is the most common mistake.

Every 3–5 years for paint, every 2–3 years for penetrating stains. Boston's UV exposure and freeze-thaw cycles accelerate wear compared to milder climates.
