Deck Restoration & Staining in Lanark County
A deck is where Lanark County summers happen, so it's worth keeping it beautiful. McIntosh Painting restores and stains decks, docks, stairs and railings across Lanark County and the Rideau Lakes. We bring grey, weathered boards back to warm, rich, protected wood, fix what needs fixing, and seal it all against sun and water.
Clean, sand & prep
Restoration starts with a deep clean. We strip old failing stain, brighten the wood, and sand rough and splintered boards smooth. Proper prep is what lets the new stain soak in evenly and last, instead of sitting on the surface and peeling. We prep every board, rail and step before any stain goes down.
Repairs & fastening
While we're in there, we replace rotted or cracked boards, re-secure loose steps and railings, and set popped fasteners so the deck is solid and safe underfoot. A restored deck should feel as good as it looks.
Rich, protective stain
Then comes the transformation: a premium penetrating stain that feeds the wood, deepens the grain and shields it from UV and moisture. From a warm cedar tone to a deep rich brown, the difference between a tired grey deck and a freshly stained one is night and day, and it protects your investment for seasons to come.
Docks, bunkies & waterfront wood
Waterfront wood works hard. We stain and restore docks, boardwalks, waterfront stairs, bunkies and lakeside decks throughout the Rideau Lakes and Lanark County, using coatings that stand up to sun and constant moisture.

What Lanark County Homeowners Say
Homeowners and cottagers across Lanark County, the Ottawa Valley and the Rideau Lakes trust McIntosh Painting & Maintenance for honest, quality work.
“Steve repainted the whole interior of our century home and the trim work is flawless. He covered everything, kept it spotless, and finished right on schedule. Honest, hardworking and a pleasure to have in our home.”
“Our old barn roof was rusting badly. MPM treated the rust, primed it and painted it a beautiful fresh red. It looks brand new and stopped the leaks. Fair price and done safely at height. Highly recommend.”
“They restored our tired grey cottage deck and dock back to a rich, warm brown. Sanded, repaired a few boards, and stained it perfectly. It looks incredible and the wood is protected again. So happy we called.”
“Steve sprayed our kitchen cabinets and painted the main floor. The cabinets look factory-finished. No brush marks anywhere. Clean, on time, and the price was exactly what he quoted.”
“Had the popcorn ceilings removed and skim-coated in our living room and hall. I was dreading the mess but they sealed everything off and it was surprisingly clean. Ceilings look smooth and modern now.”
“MPM painted the exterior of our home a deep navy with white trim and it stopped traffic. Proper prep, great colour advice, and it still looks perfect two winters later. Local, honest and reliable.”

Deck Restoration Questions
Can a grey, weathered deck really be brought back? +
In most cases, yes. Unless boards are rotted through, cleaning, brightening, sanding and re-staining restores the wood to a warm, rich finish. We'll tell you honestly what's worth saving and what should be replaced.
How often should a deck be re-stained? +
In our climate, most decks benefit from a refresh every 2–4 years depending on sun and traffic. Waterfront docks and stairs often need attention a little sooner.
Do you repair boards and railings too? +
Yes. We replace rotted or cracked boards, re-secure loose steps and railings and reset popped fasteners as part of the restoration so the deck is solid, not just good-looking.
