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.

I’m happy to have found RCP as a local company, their preparation work was great and timely, they matched the texture from water damage great and even did the work in less than 2 days for multiple rooms. I would not hesitate to call for other paint related jobs in the future.Posted on Google![]()

Quick, courteous, honest, and straightforward information presented. Robert went above and beyond in providing service and extra tips for my 2 projects. I would seek river city painting's expertise before going with another company after this experience. I hope honest people and businesses like RCP continue to flourish.Posted on Google![]()

Robert from River City Painting gave me a quote for staining my 13 year old fence around the house and for painting my backyard trellis. The next day, Robert and his crew power washed the fence and trellis, being careful around the weaker boards. Afterwards, Robert made an extra trip to the store for me to pick up 5 gallon containers of stain. On day 2, his crew did the following prep work: *scraped the old paint off the trellis, sanded it, and used a primer to set before painting a new coat the following day. *set cardboard sections all around the full length of the fence at the base *taped paper around the metal poles *taped paper over the brick wall sections where the gates are *covered the cement slab and other items under the trellis *and moved the potted plants On the 3rd day, the crew began spraying the stain on the fence and painting the trellis. Much care was taken to do an outstanding job…and they did!! After applying 2 coats and using up all the stain for me, the cleanup was meticulous; they used a power blower on the back porch, and plants were put back in place. The fence and trellis look amazing! **Robert is a very kind and conscientious person. He returned messages promptly, and described in detail the process from beginning to end. He and/or his crew was on time, even early, each day. Each person was polite, and did a very skilled and professional job. I highly recommend Robert at River City Painting for your residential and commercial projects.Posted on 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.
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
