Deck Painting & Staining
Vancouver
Deck Staining & Painting
A deck is the hardest working surface on your property. It takes sun, rain and everybody's feet, and it is horizontal, so water sits on it instead of running off. Coating one properly starts with getting it clean and genuinely dry.

Why Vancouver Homeowners Choose Beyond The Brush
Beyond The Brush is a locally owned and operated company. Sunny owns it, has been in the local painting trade for over 20 years, and is on the job himself rather than behind a desk. A deck is the hardest working surface on your property, and it is where a rushed coating fails first.
“I had it done two years ago and it already looks grey.”
Usually the boards were still holding water when it was coated. We wash the deck and let it dry properly, which takes as long as it takes.
“The stairs turn into a skating rink when it rains.”
We can add a non-slip additive to the treads and walking surfaces. Just ask when we quote it.
“There are a couple of boards I think are soft.”
We check for rot and flag it before quoting the coating, and we can replace boards as part of the job.
“Who is actually going to turn up?”
Sunny, who owns the company. Locally owned and operated, not a franchise sending whoever is free.
Our Standard of Work on Every Deck
Most failed deck finishes were applied to wood that was still holding water. This is the order that avoids that.
Deck Painting & Staining: our standard of work
- The deck is washed and then left to dry properly. Coating damp wood is the single most common reason deck finishes fail here.
- Old flaking coating is scraped and sanded back to sound wood. A new coat over a failing one fails at the same speed.
- Popped nails and screws get set before anything is applied. They are easier to deal with now than through a fresh finish.
- Soft and rotten boards get flagged before we quote the coating. You hear about a bad board from us before we coat it, not after.
- We use the finish the wood actually needs. Stain where the grain should show, solid coating where the wood is past showing off. We will tell you which after we look at it.
- Stairs and railings get the same attention as the deck floor. They take the most traffic and the most hands.
- Furniture, planters and siding are moved or covered first. Along with anything else that would rather not be stained.
- Nothing goes back down until the coating has hardened. Putting the furniture back onto a soft finish undoes the last two days of work.
If we miss any of it, tell us and we come back. Every job carries a written 5-year warranty and we are insured to $2,000,000.
What Affects the Cost of Your Deck Staining
undefined
- Square footage, stairs and railings Railings and spindles take far longer per square foot than open boards.
- The condition of the existing coating Stripping a failed solid stain is a different job from recoating a sound one.
- Wood species and age Cedar, pressure treated and older weathered boards all take stain differently.
- Stain or solid colour A transparent stain and a solid coating need different preparation and coats.
