Project Description

Medias Painting LLC recently completed a deck painting project in Locust Grove, VA. The project transformed the treated wood features throughout this beautiful home in the Lake of the Woods Subdivision. The project involved priming and painting the deck, double deck structure, balconies, front porch, front balconies, lattice, and custom exterior trim to create a clean, bright, and long-lasting finish.

This residential painting project was completed over the course of four days and required extensive preparation due to the amount of treated wood throughout the property. The homeowner specifically requested painted surfaces rather than a traditional stain finish, making proper surface preparation and product selection essential for achieving a durable result.

To ensure proper adhesion and performance, Medias Painting LLC applied a specialized exterior wood primer over all treated wood surfaces before applying a premium topcoat. The final finish featured Sherwin Williams SuperPaint Exterior in a satin sheen and Dover White color, providing a timeless appearance that complements the home’s architecture while enhancing curb appeal.

With a project investment of approximately $12,000, this  project delivered a dramatic refresh to the outdoor living spaces and architectural details surrounding the home.

Background/Story

Jerald J. was already familiar with the quality workmanship provided by Medias Painting LLC. In 2025, the team completed a full interior painting project at his residence, and he was extremely pleased with both the process and the final results.

After enjoying the interior transformation, Jerald contacted Medias Painting LLC again during the spring of 2026 to discuss improvements to the exterior treated wood around his home. The property featured extensive treated wood surfaces, including a double deck, multiple balconies, front porch trim, porch flooring, lattice work, and custom trim details.

Although treated wood is commonly stained, Jerald had a specific vision for the property and wanted all of the wood surfaces painted instead. Painting treated wood requires careful preparation and the proper primer system to help the finish adhere correctly and perform over time. Understanding the customer’s goals, Medias Painting LLC developed a plan that included a complete priming system before the application of the finish coats.

The selected Dover White color provided a bright, elegant appearance that highlighted the home’s architectural features while creating a cohesive look across all exterior wood surfaces. Throughout the project, special attention was given to preparation, primer application, and finish quality to ensure the final result met the customer’s expectations.

Because of the trust established during the previous interior painting project, the customer felt confident choosing Medias Painting LLC once again for this important exterior improvement project.

Results

The completed project significantly enhanced the appearance of the home’s outdoor living spaces and exterior architectural details. The freshly painted deck, balconies, porch trim, lattice, and custom trim now provide a bright, welcoming appearance that complements the overall design of the property.

The Dover White finish created a clean and sophisticated look while helping to unify the various treated wood elements throughout the exterior. The satin sheen added subtle elegance without excessive gloss, making it an ideal choice for these outdoor surfaces.

One of the most important aspects of this project was properly preparing the treated wood for paint. By applying Sherwin Williams Exterior Latex Wood Primer before the finish coats, Medias Painting LLC established a strong foundation for long-term paint adhesion and performance. This step was particularly important because the customer preferred a painted finish rather than the more common stained appearance.

The transformation not only improved the home’s curb appeal but also helped create a more finished and polished outdoor environment. The deck, balconies, porch, and trim now serve as attractive focal points that enhance the property’s overall character.

For Jerald, the project reinforced the confidence he had already developed in Medias Painting LLC following the successful interior painting project completed the previous year. The final result aligned perfectly with his vision and delivered the bright, painted appearance he wanted for every treated wood surface around the home.

Whether a homeowner is looking to paint a deck, balconies, porch trim, lattice, or custom exterior woodwork, this project demonstrates how proper preparation, premium products, and professional craftsmanship can produce beautiful and lasting results.
