Hi! My name is Tony. I started Thatcher Painting years ago to make an honest living doing something I love. From the beginning, my goal was to give the very best service and make it affordable to home owners and real estate investors. With a lot of hard work, determination and years of experience, that is exactly what I've been able to do. Thatcher Painting is a small family owned and run company with a small staff of highly skilled painting, staining and drywall repair experts. All of our painters have 15 plus years of custom residential painting experience. We are fast, neat and always professional. We have all the right tools, knowledge and experience to give you the very best paint job for your money period! I do all the bids and price quotes personally and I am on EVERY job doing much of the work myself. I don't sub-contract work to lesser qualified painters. I'm very affordable compared to other professional painters. I'm easy to work with and glad to answer all your questions. Contact me and let me show you just how affordable a custom painter can be!

FAQs for deck staining or painting projects in Indianapolis, IN

When you paint your deck, you can choose any color, and cleanup is easy, but the paint hides the natural wood grain. Stain, on the other hand, lets the wood grain shine through, but requires more maintenance. The cost to seal a deck is about the same as painting. Consider your personal preferences to see which option benefits you most.

For bare wood or cement decks, you only need to clean the surface before applying the first coat of paint. If you're recoating an existing finish, you'll need to pressure wash the deck to remove chipped paint and debris. Either way, make sure to allow the surface to fully dry before moving forward; otherwise, the finish could peel.

A gallon of paint covers between 125 and 300 square feet, depending on its formula. Since your deck might need two coats of paint, for a standard 300-square-foot deck, you might need two to four gallons. If you're painting a pool deck, keep in mind that the specialized non-slip paint covers less area because the texturized material takes up more space in the can.

Yes, you can paint directly over old deck paint if the existing finish is in excellent condition. You should inspect the surface to ensure there's no cracking, peeling, or chipping before proceeding. If you notice any deterioration, you'll need to remove the compromised paint. Clean your deck thoroughly with a power washer, lightly sand any rough spots, and use the same type of paint to guarantee proper adhesion and long-lasting performance.

Yes, applying a coat of primer before painting your deck is essential unless you're using a combined 2-in-1 formula. Primer enhances the adhesion of the new paint, establishes a moisture barrier, and creates a smooth, uniform surface. Be sure to inspect your deck for any defects or old finishes, and use a high-quality primer to fully prepare the surface for a durable and pristine finish.
