A deck refinishing job in Arvada that holds up starts with surface prep, not the first coat of stain. That means thorough surface prep – stripping, sanding, and priming – before any new coating goes on. We use Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore products selected for Colorado’s UV load and temperature swings.
We don’t call the job finished until we’ve walked the deck with you and you’re satisfied with what you see. You get the warranty terms in writing before work starts.
Not Sure If You Need deck refinishing? Here’s What to Know
The wood on your deck has gone gray, cracked, or is starting to splinter. The original finish has worn through completely and bare wood is now sitting exposed to sun and moisture every day.
A deck surface that holds its finish through multiple Colorado seasons instead of failing by year two, because the coating was matched to Arvada’s UV load and temperature swings.
The stain or sealant on your deck is peeling, bubbling, or flaking in patches. Water is already getting under the coating, which means the damage is happening whether the surface looks bad yet or not.
A finish that holds through several seasons rather than failing by year two, because the new coating bonds to properly prepared wood rather than a compromised surface.
After it rains, water soaks straight into the deck boards instead of beading up. The protective layer has failed and the wood is absorbing moisture directly with every wet weather cycle.
Restored outdoor living space that looks intentional and well-kept.
Your deck looks faded and uneven compared to when it was last finished. Sections that face south or get afternoon sun have bleached out noticeably more than the shaded areas.
Refinishing now is far cheaper than replacing boards or framing later when moisture has repeatedly soaked into uncoated wood grain.
Pricing, Materials & What's Included in Deck Refinishing
Exterior projects like deck refinishing run at a higher per-square-foot range than interior work because of the UV-stable products and additional surface prep required. The exact cost depends on deck size, the condition of the existing finish, and the prep involved. Free on-site estimates available – call 720-831-8998 or use our contact page to schedule one.We use Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore products where appropriate for deck refinishing. Both lines offer formulations built for UV stability, which matters in Colorado where decks at Front Range elevation take significantly more sun exposure than lower-elevation markets. Product selection is made based on your deck’s condition, wood type, and what the surface actually needs.
Front Range Paint Pros is a family-owned company that has been refinishing decks and exteriors in the Denver metro since 2017. That’s nearly a decade of working on homes in this specific market. When we show up for the estimate, the person assessing your deck is the same crew doing the work.
Communication is straightforward from the first call through the final walkthrough – customers in the Denver metro have noted this repeatedly in reviews. Product selection is based on what we’ve seen hold up on Arvada decks over multiple seasons.
Deck refinishing is broader than re-staining. It starts with surface preparation: cleaning the deck, removing deteriorated or peeling coating, and sanding as needed before any new product goes on. Applying stain over a compromised surface without that prep is one of the most common reasons finishes fail within a season or two. A proper refinish ensures the new protective coating is bonding to clean, stable wood.
Most residential deck refinishing projects take 1 to 3 days depending on deck size, the condition of the existing finish, and drying time between coats. Colorado's low summer humidity can speed up drying, but the surface and ambient temperature still need to meet the product manufacturer's requirements before recoating.
Yes. We provide free, no-obligation on-site estimates for deck refinishing. Call us at 720-831-8998 or reach out through our contact page to schedule one.
We provide a written workmanship warranty, and the exact terms are given during the estimate before any work begins. Exterior projects generally carry a warranty in the 2 to 5 year range depending on project scope and products used.
Graying and surface weathering are typically cosmetic. They indicate UV and moisture exposure but don't necessarily mean structural failure. Thorough sanding and prep can remove surface gray and open the wood grain for a fresh coating. Replacement is generally warranted only when boards have rotted or show structural damage; a professional on-site assessment will confirm which situation applies to your deck.
Exterior refinishing books up quickly once the weather turns in late spring. For a May through August project, booking several weeks in advance is a smart move. Scheduling an estimate early secures your slot before the peak window fills.
Late spring through early fall is the right window. May is workable but brings the highest rainfall of the year at 3.1 inches, and April can still see up to 7.13 inches of snow, so early spring scheduling needs some flexibility built in. November through February should be avoided entirely: temperatures drop to around 20°F, daily sunshine is limited to roughly 7 hours, and humidity holds between 62 and 65 percent. Those conditions trap moisture in the wood and significantly extend drying time for any coating.
We use Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore products where appropriate for deck refinishing. Products are selected based on UV stability and suitability for Colorado's high-altitude climate, which puts more sun stress on deck surfaces than lower-elevation markets.
Yes. At Arvada's Front Range elevation, UV exposure is more intense than at sea level, which accelerates fading and breakdown of deck coatings. We select products with UV stability as a primary criterion, which is why product selection here differs from what you'd choose for a lower-elevation application.
We serve Arvada and the broader Denver metro and Front Range, including Denver, Lakewood, Wheat Ridge, Golden, Englewood, Littleton, Aurora, Centennial, Highlands Ranch, and Castle Rock.

Share Your Project
Call us at 720-831-8998 or submit your project details through our contact page and we’ll schedule a free, no-obligation on-site estimate. The best window for deck refinishing in Arvada runs late spring through early fall. April can still see snow and May brings the heaviest rainfall of the year, so we build in scheduling flexibility for early spring; if you want a summer slot, booking a few weeks out is the smart move.

Plan & Work
We start with surface preparation: cleaning the deck, stripping deteriorated coating, and sanding where needed to open the grain and give the new product a clean surface to bond to. Once the prep is done, we apply a protective coating selected for your deck’s wood type and condition.

Enjoy Your New Space
Before we leave, we walk the finished deck with you so you can look it over in full. You leave with a protected deck surface and the warranty terms documented in writing. The project isn’t closed until you’ve seen it and are satisfied. Exterior refinishing work is backed by a written workmanship warranty in the 2 to 5 year range depending on project scope, with exact terms provided in writing at estimate time.
