Whales Painting Services assesses decks and fences for cleaning, sanding, staining and sealing. We review the wood, existing coating and exposure before recommending preparation and a compatible finish.
Peeling coatings, weathered boards and previous stain affect the preparation. We identify visible issues and discuss whether cleaning, sanding or removal of an incompatible finish is needed. Structural repairs are a separate scope.
We select cleaning methods for the wood and allow it to dry before coating. Agreed sanding helps address rough spots. Moisture and weather conditions must meet the selected product’s requirements.
Transparent, semi-transparent and solid-color finishes differ in appearance and maintenance. We discuss compatible options, color samples and whether the product includes sealing properties. A separate sealer is not automatically added over every stain.
Share deck dimensions, stairs, railings, access, furniture-moving needs and photos of the current finish. Ask about coordinating exterior painting with your outdoor woodwork.
