Deck & Fence Staining in Washington, D.C. / Maryland
Deck and fence staining that protects the wood, not just colors it.
Deck & Fence Staining in Silver Spring
A deck or fence left unstained through a D.C.-area summer starts graying within a season — we see it constantly in Greenbelt and Upper Marlboro backyards. We pressure-wash, let the wood dry fully, sand any rough spots, and apply a penetrating stain built for UV and moisture, not a film-forming coating that peels. Done right, it's a weekend project you don't have to think about again for 2-3 years.
Most deck & fence staining jobs range $700–$2,200 — get your exact number, free and in writing.
“Stained our deck and the back fence in the same visit. They actually waited two full days after power-washing for the wood to dry before staining, which our last guy never did — that deck peeled within a year. This one's held up through a full summer with no graying yet.”

How it works
Free, Written Walkthrough
We come look at the actual walls, trim, or siding — not a phone guess — and hand you a flat number before we leave.
Prep Like It's Our Own House
Sanding, patching, taping, and masking happen before a single lid comes off a paint can. This step is 40% of a paint job's lifespan and it's never rushed.
Paint, Walkthrough, Done
Two coats, daily cleanup, and a final walkthrough with you before we call it finished — not before.
No pressure. No hidden fees. Written quotes valid 30 days.
Questions about this service
How much does painting actually cost?
It depends on scope, but most interior jobs in the D.C. area run $2,800–$6,500 for a whole house, and full exterior repaints run $4,200–$9,500. We give you a flat, written number after an in-person walkthrough — never a phone estimate — so there are no surprise add-ons once we start.
How fast can I get a quote?
We reply to quote requests within 10 minutes during business hours, 7 days a week, and can usually get someone out to walk your project within 2-3 days. You'll have a written number in hand before you have to make any decision.
Are you actually licensed and insured?
Yes — Bright Leaf Painting Co. is fully Licensed & Insured, and we'll send a certificate of insurance before we start any job, no need to ask twice. This matters most on exterior and commercial work where a fall or property damage risk is real.
Do I have to sign a long contract?
No long-term contract — every job gets a simple, itemized written agreement covering scope, materials, and price before we start, and that's it. There's no subscription, no annual commitment, just a clear agreement for the project in front of you.
