Large Colonial Revivals, Georgians, Tudors and Shingle-style houses on multi-acre lots, plus antique colonials near the centre.
Most of our deck & outdoor work here is for owner-occupants buying a result rather than a price, with work won largely on referral.
Scale
Weston houses are genuinely large. A single exterior can carry three to four times the paintable surface of a standard colonial, and prep runs proportionally longer.
Extensive millwork
Dentil moulding, corbels, bay windows, leaded surrounds. This is brushwork throughout and it should be priced as brushwork.
Dense tree cover
Weston is heavily wooded. Shaded elevations hold moisture, grow mildew every year, and need washing plus genuine dry time before coating.
What Decks Need and When They Need It
What drives the price
Condition decides everything. Bare or lightly weathered wood takes stain readily and the job is a wash, dry and coat. A deck with a failing film finish has to be stripped or sanded back to bare first, and on a large deck that stripping can cost more than the staining that follows it. In Weston specifically, the work is mostly large houses on multi-acre lots, and scale, detail and heavy shade together shapes how we schedule and stage it.
How the work is sequenced
Wash, then dry properly — we use a moisture meter rather than a guess, because a deck that looks dry on the surface can still be wet inside. Repairs and fastener work next, then stain applied out of direct sun so the carrier does not flash off before the pigment can wick into the grain.
Where it usually goes wrong
Staining wood that is still wet inside is the single most common mistake, and the stain sheds within a season because it never penetrated. The second is choosing a film-forming product on a horizontal surface that gets full sun and standing water — it looks excellent for two years and then peels in sheets.
How long it takes
Two to four days for a typical deck including wash and dry-out. We will not stain within 48 hours of rain regardless of how the surface looks, and we would rather move a date than coat a wet board.
