Every quality exterior project starts with strong preparation. We began by power washing all surfaces a week in advance, allowing the wood time to fully dry. This ensured a clean slate and optimal adhesion. Our team then sanded all flaking stain and scuff-sanded semi-transparent surfaces to allow for proper stain penetration. We applied two coats of SuperDeck 9600 Series Acrylic-Alkyd Solid Color Stain to all surface areas. A bold blue was chosen for the fence and siding, paired with a soft grey for the trim and raised deck, delivering a crisp and modern look. The Graco 490 sprayer allowed us to efficiently coat the fence, while we brush-and-rolled the more detailed and elevated areas, like the second-story siding, spindles, and deck surface-for maximum control and precision. One challenge was a large tree obstructing the siding access, but with a little creativity and a thick rope, we safely secured it out of the way to continue our work. The client was overjoyed with the final results-not only because of the beautiful finish but also the quick turnaround. With over 120 hours of work completed in under a week thanks to a dedicated crew, we were able to get everything done just in time for her August home listing. As a thank you, she even baked homemade cookies for the team!
