Experienced Painters, Amazing Results

In the quiet community of Rhoadesville, VA, a homeowner reached out to Medias Painting LLC to refresh and protect a large outdoor deck that had begun to show signs of wear. The property features a 2,500-square-foot home set on three acres of land, with an 850-square-foot deck including stairs and railings. Over time, weather and use had left the deck looking faded and exposed, and the homeowners wanted a solution that would not only restore its beauty but also protect it from the elements.

The project required a two-visit process. On the first day, our crew performed a thorough power washing to remove dirt, mildew, and buildup from the wood surface. After three days of drying, we returned to apply stain and sealer across the entire deck. The total investment for this project was $2,500, covering all labor, materials, and professional application.

By the end of the process, the deck not only regained its natural warmth but also gained the protection it needed to withstand Virginia’s changing weather.

Background Story

The call came from the homeowner’s wife, who explained that the deck had started to gray and lose its protective finish. She wanted the space to be safe and inviting again for her family to enjoy. Like many homeowners, she was frustrated by how quickly outdoor wood can fade when left unprotected, and she was worried about the cost of replacing boards if the deterioration continued.

Trust was a major factor in her decision-making process. After researching options, she chose Medias Painting LLC because of our five-star reviews on Google and reputation for treating projects with precision and care. From the first phone call to the estimate, she felt comfortable and assured that the deck would be in capable hands.

We explained the full process upfront—power washing, proper drying time, staining, and sealing—so that expectations were clear. She appreciated our transparency and commitment to getting the job done right the first time.
