Neartown-Montrose Deck Staining

JM Painting & Remodeling handles deck staining throughout the Neartown-Montrose area of Houston. Walking surfaces sealed both sides. Every Neartown-Montrose job runs the same way regardless of how large it is: the surface gets prepared before anything is applied, and no step gets skipped at your house because it is hidden once the work is finished.

What the work involves

Our Deck Staining scope in Neartown-Montrose

Deck cleaned and brightened, then dried
Protruding fasteners set and split boards replaced
Stain worked into board ends and gaps
Rails and stair treads coated to the same spec

Neartown-Montrose is one of the City of Houston's designated super neighborhoods, which means city permitting and inspection rules apply rather than a suburban city's. We confirm what a given scope needs before work starts.

The process is deliberately boring. Estimate first, in person and free. Scope second, in writing. Then the deck staining itself, and finally a walk of the finished work with you at your Neartown-Montrose home before the job is called done.
