Deck Refinishing in Madison, WI & Surrounding Area
Deck Refinishing Services
With over 50 years of experience, Thrift Painting has completed thousands of deck refinishing projects, bringing life and durability back to decks across single-family homes, apartments, and condo complexes. Our comprehensive approach ensures a beautiful, long-lasting finish that enhances both the look and functionality of your outdoor space.
Our deck refinishing process starts with carefully moving any furniture or accessories to protect them during the project. We then perform a thorough pressure washing to remove dirt, mildew, and buildup, creating a clean surface ready for treatment. Next, we scrape away any loose or peeling stain to ensure an even application and sweep away any remaining debris. Once the deck is prepped, we apply the ideal stain for your specific wood type and conditions, achieving a smooth, protective layer that withstands the elements.
Whether you’re looking to refresh your backyard deck or enhance shared balconies in a multi-unit complex, Thrift Painting brings the expertise and dedication needed for a quality result that transforms your outdoor space.
Our Staining and Washing System
At Thrift Painting, we use the Sherwin-Williams SuperDeck product line to ensure a beautiful and long-lasting finish for your deck. For a natural wood look, we offer the Oil-Based Semi-Transparent Deck Stain, which enhances the wood’s grain while protecting it. For older or more weathered decks needing a consistent, solid appearance, we recommend the Water-Based Solid Deck Stain, which provides a rich, uniform finish and extra durability.
To prepare your deck for staining, we typically wash it about a week in advance using our specialized Hot High-Pressure Washing System. Our experienced pressure washing technician will thoroughly remove any dirt, loose paint chips, or mildew buildup without damaging the wood’s surface. This careful washing process creates the perfect foundation for applying the stain once the deck has dried, ensuring an even and long-lasting result. With Thrift Painting, your deck will look fresh, polished, and ready to withstand the elements for years to come.
The Staining Process
For a flawless, even finish, our team typically applies stain using the roll-on and brush-in methods, which allow us to control coverage and ensure every inch of your deck receives a consistent coat. This hands-on approach creates a smooth, durable finish that enhances the natural beauty of your wood. When certain areas, like intricate latticework, require a different approach, we may use spray staining to achieve the best results.
Before we begin, we take extra precautions to protect your property. Our team carefully masks off all surrounding areas with plastic sheeting and tape to ensure that your concrete, siding, and other adjoining surfaces remain spotless. Once staining is complete, we thoroughly clean up, leaving no mess behind. At Thrift Painting, our goal is to provide a high-quality staining job that leaves your deck looking beautiful and your property pristine.
Enjoying the Final Results
After staining, you’ll be able to walk on your deck and start enjoying the fresh look within just a few days, depending on the weather and drying conditions. Typically, furniture can be moved back onto the deck in about a week, giving the stain ample time to cure and ensuring a durable, long-lasting finish.
At Thrift Painting, we’re committed to making the entire process as seamless as possible for you. When schedules allow, we’re even happy to return to help you place your furniture back on your beautifully refinished deck! We take pride in our work, so seeing your space come together is as rewarding for us as it is for you. With our attention to detail and commitment to quality, you can look forward to enjoying your revitalized deck for years to come.
