Revitalize Your Outdoor Wood: Expert Staining Services
Serving Brookside and Surrounding Areas
Shield & Beautify: The Dual Power of Professional Staining
Protecting Your Investment from the Elements
Your deck and fence are constantly exposed to harsh weather conditions, including damaging UV rays, moisture from rain and snow, and fluctuating temperatures. Professional staining creates a robust protective barrier, sealing the wood to prevent water penetration, which can lead to rot, mildew, and warping. This essential treatment also shields the wood from sun damage that causes fading and degradation, significantly extending the life of your outdoor structures.
Beyond protection, staining dramatically enhances the natural beauty of your wood. Whether you prefer a clear coat that highlights the wood’s grain, a semi-transparent tint that adds subtle color, or a solid stain for a bold new look, our services can transform your deck and fence. A freshly stained surface not only boosts your home’s curb appeal but also creates a more inviting and enjoyable outdoor living space for you and your family.
From Preparation to Perfection: How We Work
Achieving a durable and beautiful stained finish begins with thorough preparation. Our team meticulously prepares your deck or fence by first cleaning the surfaces to remove dirt, grime, mildew, and any old, failing stain. This may involve power washing for a deep clean, followed by sanding to ensure a smooth surface for optimal stain adhesion. We also address any minor repairs needed, ensuring the wood is in the best possible condition before staining.
Once the preparation is complete, we expertly apply your chosen high-quality stain. We utilize professional techniques, whether brushing, rolling, or spraying, to ensure even coverage and deep penetration into the wood fibers. Our attention to detail guarantees a uniform finish without drips or lap marks, resulting in a stunning and long-lasting protective coat that will endure for years to come.
Guidance on Selecting the Perfect Look and Protection
Selecting the right stain involves considering opacity, which determines how much of the wood grain remains visible. Transparent stains offer minimal color but maximum grain exposure, ideal for new or well-maintained wood. Semi-transparent stains provide a hint of color while still allowing the wood’s natural texture to show through. Semi-solid stains offer more color and coverage, obscuring some grain but still allowing wood texture, while solid color stains provide a completely opaque, paint-like finish, offering maximum UV protection and the ability to hide imperfections.
Color choice is crucial for harmonizing your deck or fence with your home’s exterior and landscaping. We offer a wide spectrum of stain colors, from natural wood tones to contemporary grays and bold hues. Our experts can help you select a color that complements your home’s architectural style and your personal aesthetic preferences, ensuring the final result enhances your property’s overall appeal.
The longevity and effectiveness of your stain job depend heavily on the quality of the product used. Magnolia Painting LLC exclusively uses premium-grade stains renowned for their durability, UV resistance, and ability to repel water. These high-performance products not only provide superior protection against the elements but also maintain their color and integrity longer, reducing the frequency of re-staining and saving you money in the long run.

Lauri PilakowskiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were referred to Johna at Magnolia by a friend. He exceeded our expectations on timing, workmanship and communication. He revamped our busy medical office in Lawrence and worked around our timing needs perfectly. While Johna handled all communications and the details of the job, he had a small crew with him that were all very professional and working with them was a pleasure. The preparation and post project cleaning allowed us to get back to work quickly. We will certainly contact Magnolia Painting for future projects. I love hearing compliments on the “new” office! Jim ATrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently hired Johnathan Verbenec of Magnolia Painting to paint a recently built pergola on our back deck, and we couldn't be more pleased with the results he provided. From our first meeting, Johnathan impressed us as being a true professional. He listened to our questions and concerns about the project, and offered two alternative approaches for its completion (each presented in a clear and detailed proposal and for a very reasonable price). Ultimately, the approach we selected called for the application of a primer coat and two coats of professional-grade paint to the rather complicated, interwoven timbers of our pergola. Although I've done a lot of painting over the years, this was no project for an amateur. We're so glad we found Johnathan! What sets Johnathan apart from other painters we've worked with is his craftsmanship, meticulous attention to detail, and insistence on high quality work. Recognizing that our pergola was recently built, he tested the moisture levels in the wood at the outset to confirm that it had cured sufficiently and was ready for paint. Later, when he was a couple days into the project and temperatures neared freezing, he actually recommended pausing work for a day or two to ensure that the paint cured perfectly. After first checking with us, he resumed work over the weekend when the weather improved. Johnathan clearly takes pride in his work and wants to ensure that the job gets done right! From start to finish, Johnathan provided us with a best-in-class, 10-star experience. He treated our home with great care—no drips, no mess, and everything tidied up at the end of each work day. His communication with us throughout the project was excellent. He was always timely and worked hard until the job was finished. On the last day of his work on our project, he walked through the final result with us to ensure that we were 100% satisfied—which we are. We have already mentioned to Johnathan that we plan to call on him for our next project. If you want high-quality work from someone who truly cares about his craft, hire Johnathan Verbenec of Magnolia Painting. Mitch MTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jonah did an awesome job installing wallpaper for an accent wall in our nursery and a half bathroom. He was very detail-oriented from the start. The half bathroom was especially difficult because of all the angles and it being a relatively small room. He actually identified a small defect in how the manufacturer cut the paper which caused a very slight mismatch of the pattern. He let us know and reached out directly to the manufacturer about it. Because it was barely noticeable to us, we decided to proceed but this is just one example of how strong Jonah's attention to detail is. He also did a fantastic job cleaning up after the project, making sure furniture was placed back in the original location, and even mopping the floors. We are really happy with how everything turned out. Jonah is a pleasure to work with and clearly cares about the quality of his work. 10 out of 10 would recommend and will use for any future wallpaper or painting jobs we have. jjfaccianoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was admiring our new kitchen this morning while making myself some coffee. Wanted to give Jonathan at Magnolia Painting a shout out as to what a wonderful job he did on painting our kitchen cabinets! Very professional, top notch, beautiful results. We were lucky to connect with him. Good luck in building Magnolia, your high standards will yield great success. 😎 Robert OlingerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was referred to Magnolia by a realtor. Johna came to give me a quote. I got it quickly, AND it was a good price. I had a living room and bathroom painted, a couple half walls, and an accent wall in a bedroom. Johna also did the painting. He finished all the work in two days AND the quality is great! Great work and for a great price. Highly recommend. Charlene HeinenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I contacted Magnolia Painting for a bid on repairing and repainting the exterior trim on 20+ windows and the front door of my two-story, 96-year-old house. Johnathan responded promptly and, when he visited, examined the door and each of the windows in order to prepare the estimate. Work started the second week in June 2025. Johnathan communicated regularly about his schedule, the work progress, and issues that arose. The first week, I was out of town and he ended up sending me photos of series wood-rot damage that he’d uncovered in an upstairs window, along with options for treating it. As things turned out, at least half of the windows needed some repair, and several had to have sills, top drip edges, or side boards replaced. Johnathan was meticulous about his work, taking the time to carefully and thoroughly sand, scrape, fill, caulk, and paint so that the trim was repaired structurally as well as aesthetically. He also touched up the wall paint where it had been impacted by the trim work, and he did it seamlessly. During the 2+ weeks, Johnathan was careful with plants and thorough with cleanup. We did walk-throughs on the two last days to make sure I was happy with everything. And I was. On a scale of 1 to 10, his work rated a 10. Martin PowersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. He did an amazing job and over achieved his abilities and showed his quality in work! Susan PalmerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent experience with Magnolia Painting- Jonathan Verbenec! Jonathan prepped, painted, and cleaned after the job of painting ceilings in 4 rooms. Hiring Magnolia Painting is a “win” for anyone who likes to know exactly how and when the work will be accomplished. Great communication! All our expectations were met, especially in scheduling and successful completion of quality work. Nicholas GideonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Johnathan did a great job, was thorough with his work, and communicated well which was very important to us. I would use Magnolia Painting again. Pamela BaughmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Johnathan is meticulous in all aspects of his business! He showed up on time daily, worked hard every day, submitted to us a very specific and complete contract before we accepted the bid---I cannot imagine finding any fault with his work. He had to repair some quite ugly sheet rock areas where towel bars and Venetian blinds had pulled loose and left irregular, gaping holes -- the repair was beautifully done and smooth. He then painted the areas, and they look as good as they did when we moved in in 1977 (yes, it's been that long). He communicated very well with us, keeping us up-to-date on all aspects of the job. You cannot find a better person to work with.Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 11 reviews
