Colorado’s Most Trusted Deck Painting, Staining & Sealing Contractors
A well-maintained deck is more than just a beautiful extension of your home or business—it’s a long-term investment in both aesthetics and durability. In Colorado’s extreme climate, where scorching summer sun, heavy snowfall, and dry, high-altitude air take a toll on exterior wood, proper deck painting, staining, and sealing are essential. At DHI, we specialize in protecting and enhancing decks for homes, offices, apartment complexes, restaurants, hotels, and commercial buildings, ensuring they remain beautiful and structurally sound for years to come.
With decades of experience working with Colorado’s most common decking materials, including cedar, redwood, pressure-treated lumber, composite, and exotic hardwoods, we understand how to apply the right paint, stain, or sealant to maximize protection. Whether you want to refresh an old deck, protect a new installation, or change the entire look of your outdoor space, DHI’s expert deck painters and stainers deliver long-lasting, flawless results.
Why Professional Deck Painting & Staining Are Critical in Colorado
Unlike interior painting, deck painting and staining require specialized knowledge of how wood species react to moisture, temperature fluctuations, and UV exposure. Colorado’s high-altitude sun causes unprotected wood to fade, crack, and warp, while winter snowmelt can lead to moisture penetration and rot. Using the wrong paint, stain, or sealant can shorten a deck’s lifespan, leading to costly repairs or replacement far sooner than expected.
At DHI, we use high-quality, weather-resistant paints, stains, and sealers formulated for Colorado’s unique climate. Our process includes deep surface preparation, sanding, priming, and expert application to protect every deck we work on against fading, cracking, peeling, and moisture damage. When applied correctly, deck paint and stain not only enhance curb appeal but also create a protective barrier against the elements, extending the lifespan of your investment.
Deck Staining vs. Deck Painting: Which is Right for You?
Choosing between deck staining and deck painting depends on the type of wood, the desired aesthetic, and the level of protection needed. DHI’s experts assess your deck’s condition and recommend the best approach to ensure longevity and beauty.
- Deck Staining – Best for preserving the natural look of wood while adding UV and moisture protection. Stains penetrate deep into the wood fibers, preventing rot and decay while enhancing the grain’s beauty. Stains come in transparent, semi-transparent, and solid options, allowing homeowners and businesses to choose a look that complements their property.
- Deck Painting – Ideal for a uniform, polished look with maximum protection against the elements. Paint forms a thick, protective barrier that prevents moisture absorption and extends the lifespan of older decks. It’s the best choice for heavily weathered wood or when changing the deck’s color entirely.
- Sealing – Essential for both painted and stained decks, sealing locks in the finish and adds an extra layer of protection against moisture, fading, and cracking. Some sealers are clear, while others include UV-blocking pigments to help reduce sun damage.
Best Decking Materials for Colorado Homes & Businesses
Not all decking materials perform the same in Colorado’s climate. Understanding the characteristics of each helps ensure that your deck remains durable and visually appealing for years.
| Decking Material | Pros | Best Finish | Durability in Colorado |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cedar | Naturally resistant to rot and insects | Stain or semi-transparent sealant | High, if maintained |
| Redwood | Durable, beautiful grain, weather-resistant | Stain for rich natural color | High, with sealing |
| Pressure-Treated Wood | Affordable, treated for insect resistance | Solid stain or paint | Medium, needs upkeep |
| Composite | Low maintenance, resists warping and rotting | No finish required | Very High |
| Exotic Hardwoods | Extremely durable, unique appearance | Oil-based stain | Very High |
DHI’s deck painting and staining experts understand how Colorado’s extreme temperatures affect different types of wood, ensuring the right coatings are applied to maximize longevity.
