Whether you just built a new deck or your fence is showing years of New England weather, our team has the experience and products to restore and protect your wood surfaces.
Your deck is where summer happens. Your fence frames your entire property. Protect both from freeze-thaw damage, salt air, UV rays, and moisture with staining that actually lasts. We work around your schedule and leave your yard spotless.
Commercial decks and fences face heavy foot traffic, tenant expectations, and liability concerns. We provide detailed proposals, insurance certificates on request, and scheduling that minimizes disruption to your tenants and business operations.
Browse completed deck and fence staining projects from across the South Shore and Cape Cod. Every project starts with thorough preparation and finishes with a result built to last.
Every wood surface has different needs. We match the right products, preparation methods, and application techniques to your specific situation for results that hold up to New England weather.
Your deck absorbs the full force of New England weather: summer UV that breaks down wood fibers, fall rain that penetrates unprotected surfaces, winter freeze-thaw cycles that crack and split boards, and spring moisture that invites mold growth. Without proper protection, a deck can go from beautiful to dangerous in just a few seasons.
Our deck staining process begins with a thorough power wash using calibrated pressure that removes grime without damaging wood grain. We apply wood brightener to restore proper pH and open the pores for stain penetration. After 24-48 hours of drying time, we sand any raised grain and address damaged boards before applying premium stain products matched to your wood type, sun exposure, and foot traffic patterns.
We stain pressure-treated pine, cedar, redwood, and exotic hardwoods. Each species absorbs stain differently and requires specific preparation. Pressure-treated lumber needs adequate drying time after installation before staining, while cedar responds best to penetrating oil-based products that enhance its natural beauty.
Our dedicated six-person crew handles every project personally. No subcontractors means consistent quality, direct communication, and the same trusted team from start to finish.
Owner Marc Nelson personally walks your property to assess every detail. You receive a thorough written proposal — no vague ballpark figures, no hidden costs, no obligation.
We use only the highest-quality paints and coatings built to withstand coastal humidity, salt air, and harsh New England winters. Better products mean longer-lasting results and fewer touch-ups.
Every crew member is covered by workers' compensation and general liability insurance. You never have to worry about exposure if something unexpected happens on your property.
Your project benefits from over six decades of knowledge passed down through three generations. That kind of experience means fewer surprises, better problem-solving, and results that stand the test of time.
Many South Shore and Cape Cod homes were built before 1978 and may contain lead paint. Our EPA-certified crews follow strict protocols to keep your family safe during renovation work.
Preparation is 70% of a quality staining job. We invest the time that other companies skip because shortcuts show within months. Here is exactly what happens from your first call to your finished project.
Marc Nelson will personally evaluate your deck or fence, discuss your options, and provide a detailed written estimate. No pressure, no obligation, just 65 years of honest expertise.
From deck restorations to fence staining projects, our customers consistently praise the preparation quality, attention to detail, and lasting results that keep them coming back.

The guys did a great job! They were diligent, professional, friendly and accommodating!
Nelson Painting did a beautiful, professional job in our kitchen! Brandon and Brian were able to make our worn cabinets like new and patches on ceiling and walls from electric work are invisible! Nicole was easy to communicate with and flexible with scheduling.
We would highly recommend Nelson Painting, if you are looking to get your house painted. From soft washing the house to the final painting of trim and clapboard, they were nothing but professional. They were respectful of property and cleaned up every day before they left. Marc came right out when we called and we had a price the next day. Very reasonably priced. We could not be more pleased.
Not just on time, they were early. Not just neat, they were impeccable. Not just responsive, responses in a timely manner and wonderfully polite. I am thrilled with my results and the entire experience, I can't recommend them enough!
On time, flawless work, respectful of property. Estimate was 100 percent accurate.

Here are the questions we hear most often about deck staining, fence staining, and outdoor wood protection in New England.
Most decks in Southeastern Massachusetts need re-staining every 2-3 years, depending on sun exposure, foot traffic, and stain type. Decks with heavy southern exposure or near the coast may need attention closer to every 2 years due to intensified UV and salt air. Semi-transparent stains typically last 2-3 years, while solid stains can last 4-5 years. We recommend the water bead test: sprinkle water on your deck boards, and if it soaks in immediately rather than beading up, your protection has worn away.
From the South Shore to Cape Cod and the South Coast, our crew handles interior and exterior painting, cabinet refinishing, carpentry, deck and fence staining, power washing, soft washing, and water and smoke damage restoration for homes and businesses up to 30 miles from our West Plymouth headquarters.
