Professional Deck and Hardwood Refinishing in St. Petersburg

Deck and Hardwood Refinishing for the St. Petersburg Area

In the St. Petersburg area, restaurants, apartments, and businesses leverage the allure of a deck to enhance their brand's appeal. Many proprietors consider the upkeep of hardwood decks and floors but often overlook other wooden elements like fences, doors, windows, and cabinets. Regular maintenance of these features is crucial to prevent decay and improve aesthetic appeal.

In St. Petersburg, whether it involves painting, staining, or sealing, wood refinishing varies based on several environmental factors. The experts at Carlson's Proficient Painting can guide you in selecting the ideal treatment to combat local weather and sunlight exposure. Utilizing cutting-edge commercial painting products can prevent the wood from becoming dull or yellowed. Rely on the seasoned wood refinishing specialists at Carlson's Proficient Painting to maintain the pristine condition of your wood surfaces. Contact us at 727-639-0620 to get started.

Estimates - First Things First

Know the cost of refinishing wood in and around your commercial property with complete assurance. Some painting contractors and companies offer only a very rough estimate. With Carlson's Proficient Painting, you get no surprise fees or hidden costs. Changes to your estimate are discussed with you.

Our Refinishing Process

Our comprehensive refinishing process is designed to restore the natural beauty and durability of your wood surfaces. We adapt our techniques to suit each specific project, ensuring flawless results that are both protective and visually appealing.

Surface Preparation

Proper preparation is crucial for a successful refinishing project. We start by thoroughly cleaning the surface to remove dirt, grime, and old finishes. Sanding is then performed to smooth out imperfections and create an even surface for the new finish.

Choosing the Right Finish

Depending on the usage of the wood surface and its exposure to elements, we help you choose the best type of finish. Options include stains for enhancing natural wood grains, paints for a bold color change, and sealants for maximum protection.

Application Techniques

Our skilled professionals use state-of-the-art tools and techniques for application. This includes precision brushes and sprayers that ensure even coverage and a smooth finish. We take special care around edges and hard-to-reach areas to maintain consistency throughout.

Final Inspection and Touch-Ups

Once the initial application is complete, we conduct a thorough inspection to identify any needed touch-ups. This ensures that every detail meets our high standards, resulting in a flawless finish that not only looks great but also extends the lifespan of the wood.

Customized Solutions Tailored to Your Needs

At Carlson's Proficient Painting, we understand that every deck and hardwood floor is unique. We offer customized refinishing options designed to meet the specific conditions and aesthetic goals of your property, providing a personalized service that aligns with your expectations.

Deck and Wood Refinishing FAQs


How Often Should I Seal My Deck?

The frequency depends on the type of sealant used. Good quality sealants can last several years, while standard sealants only last about a year. It may be a good idea to seal your deck if the surface is dull or faded, or if you can see scratches.

Should I Paint or Stain My Deck?

Paint isn't breathable and can trap moisture inside the wood, causing it to decay faster. Instead, you can use a solid color stain that soaks into the wood and allows it to breathe while still protecting against UV rays. Others say that paint can hold up for up to ten years, while you should apply a new coat of deck stain every 2-3 years.

How Should I Prepare My Deck for Painting?

    Here are some steps you can take to prepare your deck for painting:
  • Remove any loose paint by scraping or sanding
  • Remove any loose substrate
  • Clean the deck with soap and water to remove dirt and debris
  • Repair any loose or damaged boards
  • Sand rough edges for a smooth finish
  • Apply a good quality wood primer
  • Let the wood dry for at least 24 hours before painting

Testimonials

  • reviewiconWe would give Carlson's 20 stars if possible!
    Eric and his crew were a pleasure to work with. He scheduled a day/time to come review the job. He was right on time! He kept in communication with his quote which was extremely reasonable, the timing of the job, and what we wanted for paint colors, etc. He uses high quality Sherwin Williams paint. On the first day of the job, he arrived with his crew, Eddie, Kurt and Mark to review the job with them. The guys were very professional, friendly, and paid attention to all the details. They cleaned up at the end of the day before leaving. They did an amazing job painting our condo. It looks brand new and we have had fun showing our neighbors and passing the word that they need to call Carlson's for their painting needs. (We live in a 55+ complex). We highly recommend Carlson's Proficient Painting. Thank you Eric and crew!!

    Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, Value Negative: None Carlson's is not just Proficient, they're also Professional, Punctual and Personable, and, well, all around good guys. After getting multiple bids to paint our two-story house, we selected Eric and his crew. Not only did they offer one of the best prices, but they also provided the most detailed quote, as well as the most in-depth bid package from Sherwin Williams (which explained every step of the prep, repairing, sealing and painting process). It's obvious Eric truly cares about his work (and so does his crew). He's a man of his word, and won't stop until he gets it right. Integrity is a hard thing to find nowadays; Eric has it. We'll be using him again, and referring him to friends. We've had so many compliments on the job Carlson's did; heck, half the neighborhood wants him to do their houses!

    Mr. Carlson WAS ON TIME EVERY TIME!!! On our first meeting everything was explained, the time line the painting process the quality of the paint he would use and the equipment he would be using. Mr. Carlson also took the time to explain to my neighbors what he was going to do and any impact it would have on there property (there was none). The painting of my house meet all my expectations and more. No over spray on my plaints or grass, the cleanup process was undetectable! Mr. Carlson also painted my Aunts house with the same professional results. Job Well Done!

    If I could give Eric and Carlson's Proficient Painting SIX stars, I would. Reasonable prices, super efficient. My wife and I couldn't be happier with the results! Also, initially there was a little miscommunication about the color paint we wanted and he had already ordered the paint. However, he was super understanding and ate the costs of the other paint and ordered the paint we actually wanted without hesitation! He and his crew came back several times to do touch-ups to make it looks absolutely perfect. If you want a HIGH PROFESSIONAL QUALITY paint job at budget prices, Eric at Carlson's is your man!!
