Our team ensures long-lasting, weather-resistant finishes that protect and beautify your decks and fences. Sit back and relax while we handle everything from preparation to final inspection—delivering professional, durable results every time. Outdoor wood often needs cleaning, drying, removal of loose coatings, sanding and repair of minor surface defects before a new finish is applied. Moisture, sun exposure and existing coatings all affect how well the next system will bond and perform.

Fence Painting

Paint can provide a solid-color finish for wood fences and other compatible surfaces. Before repainting, we evaluate the existing coating, loose material, surface contamination and wood condition so the preparation scope can be defined.

Deck Painting

For decks that are already painted or are suitable for an opaque coating system, deck painting can provide a uniform color. Horizontal walking surfaces require careful product selection and preparation because they receive more wear than vertical fence boards.

Our Fence & Deck Painting Process

Surface Inspection

We review the wood or existing coating for peeling, weathering, dirt, mildew, damaged areas and other conditions that could affect adhesion.

Cleaning and Preparation

Preparation may include appropriate cleaning, scraping loose coatings, sanding rough or failing areas, repairing minor defects and allowing the surface to dry as required.

Primer or Conditioning

Bare wood, repaired areas or certain existing coatings may require primer or another preparation step depending on the product system selected.

Exterior Coating Application

The chosen coating is applied according to the substrate, product requirements and project conditions.

Final Review

Included rails, boards, edges and details are reviewed after application, followed by cleanup and final touch-ups within the agreed scope.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Robert and his team did an excellent job repairing and painting siding on my house.

I had several sections of failing siding on my house. Robert was able to inspect the siding, give me a quote, and complete the work all within 1 week.

He was fairly priced, had great communication, and his team was very efficient and professional. Robert went above and beyond by providing me a list of all my interior and exterior paint colors, by replacing an additional piece of failing siding that we noticed as his team was finishing up, and by giving me advice on siding maintenance that I can do myself.

I’d recommend River City Painting to friends and family.

Freqently Asked Questions

Paint or Stain: Which Is Better?

The right choice depends on the existing finish, wood condition and desired appearance. Paint provides an opaque color, while stain is typically used when a wood-grain look or penetrating finish is preferred. If you are specifically considering stain, see our dedicated Deck Staining in San Antonio service page.

When Repainting May Not Be Enough

Severely deteriorated wood, structural problems, extensive rot or ongoing moisture issues should be corrected before coating. Painting is a finishing service and should not be used to hide structural damage.

Can you paint over an old stain?

Sometimes, but compatibility depends on the existing stain or coating, condition and product selected. The surface should be evaluated before a new opaque coating is applied.

How long does a deck or fence staining project take?

Project duration varies depending on size and condition. Most residential decks or fences are completed within 1–3 days, including cleaning, sanding, staining, sealing, and finishing. Larger commercial properties may take a bit longer for the best results.

What types of stains and finishes do you use?

We use premium, weather-resistant stains and sealants, including UV-protected, low-VOC, and water-based products, keeping your decks and fences vibrant, durable, and environmentally friendly.

Can you handle specialty or custom wood surfaces?

Yes! Our team works on cedar decks, picket fences, pergolas, and custom outdoor wood structures. We adjust our techniques for each surface to ensure a consistent, flawless finish.

Do you offer maintenance or re-staining services?

Absolutely. We provide seasonal inspections, touch-ups, and re-staining services to maintain your wood’s beauty and protect it from sun, rain, and humidity over time.

Do decks need to be cleaned before painting?

Appropriate cleaning is often part of preparation, but the method depends on the wood and existing finish. The surface also needs adequate drying time before coating.

Do you repair rotten boards?

Minor repair needs can be identified during the estimate, but structural or extensive wood replacement may require separate work. The written scope should clearly state what is included.
