Project Description
In the beautiful Maple Valley neighborhood of Arvada, Colorado, Helix Painting completed a pergola restaining project that brought new life and warmth to a homeownerโs outdoor space. The project focused on restoring the natural luster of a weathered wood pergola that had faded after years of sun exposure and changing Colorado seasons.
Covering a medium-sized backyard structure, the team worked efficiently to complete the project in just two days, balancing precision and speed to meet the homeownerโs expectations. The total project cost ranged between $2,000 and $2,500, reflecting the quality materials and detailed craftsmanship required to achieve a long-lasting, even finish.
Our goal was simple yet essential: revitalize the pergolaโs natural wood tones while protecting it against UV damage, moisture, and general wear. Using Sherwin-Williams SuperDeck in a natural tone, we ensured the stain penetrated deeply into the wood grain for both durability and beautyโcreating a result that blended seamlessly with the homeโs outdoor design.

Background Story
The homeowner discovered Helix Painting through Angi, where they were searching for a reliable painting contractor known for professional service and outstanding results. Their pergola had once been a stunning focal point of the backyardโa shaded retreat perfect for gatherings and relaxationโbut time and weather had stripped away its charm. The wood looked dull, uneven, and dry, and the client wanted to restore its original richness without overpowering its natural look.
After reviewing several contractors, the homeowner chose Helix Painting because of our strong reputation for craftsmanship and communication. From the initial call to the final walkthrough, we guided them through every stepโexplaining stain options, finish types, and maintenance tips to ensure they could enjoy their pergola for many seasons to come.
Our team arrived on time, fully prepared, and handled every aspect of the project with care. The homeowner appreciated how our crew respected their space, kept the area tidy, and maintained open communication throughout. The result was not just a refinished pergolaโit was a completely renewed outdoor feature that once again stood out as the heart of their yard.

The homeowner was thrilled with the outcome, sharing a heartfelt Google review that read:

For Helix Painting, this project was a reminder that even smaller-scale work can have a big impact.
