Deck Refinishing · Westchester, NY
Deck Refinishing Built Around Preparation, Protection, and a Better Experience
A deck finish has to handle sun, rain, foot traffic, and changing seasons. Genesis Pro Painting cleans, strips, sands, repairs, and refinishes outdoor wood with a plan that keeps the work clear and the property protected.
- Landscaping, siding, furniture, and nearby surfaces protected
- Cleaning, stripping, sanding, and board repairs before the finish
- Clear communication from the first conversation to the final walkthrough
Prep decides the finish
A deck is exposed to weather every day, so the finish depends on what happens before stain or paint is applied. We clean, strip, sand, and repair the surface first, then help you choose between stain and solid colour based on the wood, the look you want, and future maintenance.
Cleaning and stripping
Dirt, mildew, loose finish, and weathered material removed so the new product can bond to the wood.
Sanding and board repair
Rough areas, raised grain, damaged boards, and small repairs addressed before the surface is finished.
Railings and stairs
High-touch railings, stair treads, risers, and edges handled with the detail they need for even coverage.
Stain versus solid colour
Choose a transparent or semi-transparent stain, or a solid colour finish, based on the wood and maintenance plan.
Pergolas, fences, and outdoor structures
Extend the same preparation and finish planning to pergolas, fences, porches, sheds, and related woodwork.

Deck Refinishing Questions Homeowners Often Ask
What affects the cost of deck refinishing?
Cost depends on the deck's size and height, the condition of the boards, how much cleaning and stripping are needed, repairs, railings and stairs, access, the finish selected, and the amount of protection required around the work.
What finish should I use on my deck?
Stain and solid colour are different choices with different appearances and maintenance needs.
- Transparent or semi-transparent stain: Shows more of the wood grain and usually needs regular maintenance
- Solid colour stain: Adds more coverage while still being made for exterior wood
- Exterior paint: Creates an opaque finish where the surface and preparation support it
How long does a deck refinishing project take?
Timing depends on deck size, surface condition, repairs, the finish being removed, drying time, and weather. We set the schedule around the time the wood needs to dry between preparation and finishing.
