Deck & Dock Painting and Staining

Your deck or dock is an important part of your outdoor living space—but Florida’s heat, humidity, and coastal conditions can wear it down quickly. At Forward, we provide professional deck and dock painting and staining services designed to protect your investment, restore natural beauty, and extend the life of your wood surfaces.

​

We start every project with thorough surface preparation, which is the key to a long-lasting finish. This begins with a deep clean using commercial-grade pressure washers and safe, wood-friendly cleaning solutions to remove dirt, mildew, algae, and old product buildup. Once the surface is clean and dry, we move on to sanding.

​

Our team uses power sanders and hand tools to smooth out rough spots, splintered wood, and areas where the old stain or paint is peeling. We focus especially on high-traffic areas like stairs, railings, and dock edges to ensure a safer and smoother finish. Sanding also helps open up the wood grain, allowing for better absorption of stains and sealers, which results in deeper penetration and longer-lasting protection.

​

After prepping the surface, we apply high-quality wood stains or marine-grade paints that are formulated for outdoor exposure. Whether you’re looking for a natural stain to showcase the grain or a painted finish for a fresh look, we’ll help you choose the best product for your specific environment and use.

​

We use products that offer UV protection, water repellency, and mold resistance, ideal for the Florida climate and waterfront settings. From dock maintenance to deck makeovers, we focus on clean application, durability, and a polished final appearance.
