Full Exterior Refresh in Bend - Deck, Pergola, Fence and More

This one had a lot of moving parts. The homeowner wanted a full exterior refresh - and that's exactly what we delivered. Garage door painted, cedar shakes restored, fence and mini pergola stripped and re-stained, and the back deck plus handrail pressure washed and sealed. Each piece of this property got its own attention.

Central Oregon weather is no joke on wood. The freeze-thaw cycles, the UV, the dry summers - they all take a toll faster than most people expect. That's why maintenance like this isn't just about looks. It's about protecting what you've got. Stripping old stain off the fence and pergola before re-coating is the right move - it gives the new product a clean surface to bond to, which means it lasts a lot longer.

The back deck and handrail got pressure washed first to pull out embedded dirt and any old failing sealer, then we came back with two full coats of sealant for lasting protection. Two coats isn't just extra insurance - it builds the kind of barrier that actually holds up through a Bend winter and comes out looking good on the other side.

The pergola and fence sections came out looking sharp. Fresh stain on horizontal-slat fencing really pops, especially when the wood grain is clean and prepped correctly. Paired with the garage door paint and the restored cedar shakes up top, the whole exterior reads as one cohesive, well-maintained property now - not a patchwork of things done at different times.

Exterior wood doesn't get better on its own. It just gets worse until the repair bill gets bigger. Projects like this are a good reminder that staying ahead of maintenance is almost always cheaper than waiting. Whether it's deck staining, a pergola re-stain, or a full exterior refresh like this one - we do it right the first time.
