Deck Staining Complete

Greetings and welcome to your official project blog for the painting project at Windward at Dancing Waters in Woodbury. We are thrilled to be back onsite this year!


Route Map

Tentative Deck Finishing Schedule – Updated 9/6


Monday, September 10th: Good afternoon! We hope you all had a great weekend!

The crew is right on track with our projected finishing schedule. They’ll be staining two buildings today and then complete the remaining three buildings tomorrow. 

The crew continued to knock it out of the park – one deck at a time.

What goes together better than sunshine and staining decks?!


Friday, September 7th: Hello and TGIF! 

The crews are relieved to see continued clear and blue skies after a few rain days earlier this week. As we mentioned the Vikings home-opener is on Sunday and aside from the game itself, food and drinks are the next priority! Linked is a list of the new foods at U.S. Bank this season- our picks to try are the crab fries and cheesesteaks from Chickie and Pete’s! 

The crew is making their way through more decks today – Buildings 9-12, as shown above. They’ll then continue with the schedule tomorrow and into next week, pending the weather stays dry. Thanks!


Thursday, September 6th: We’re back in action!

‘Tis the season- Regular season NFL football that is! The first Thursday Night Football of the season kicks off tonight with the Falcons at the Eagles. The Vikes play their home-opener on Sunday vs. the 49ers. Are you ready for some football?!

The rain has set back our schedule, but the crew is planning to make their way through the decks on the 10743, 10745, 10747, and 10751 Buildings today and then catch up tomorrow with the next four buildings.

It’s amazing what a coat of paint can do : )


Wednesday, September 5th: Good morning! It’s still too wet for the crew to stain today. We’ll resume tomorrow. Thanks!

Friday, August 31st: Hello and TGIF! 

We’ll be resuming our pressure washing on Tuesday, 9/4 and continue through the week, pressure washing 2 buildings/day. We’ll also resume staining on Tuesday, 9/4 at Buildings 5 and 6. Thanks! 

Have a great Labor Day weekend! 


Thursday, August 30th: Good morning residents of Windward!

Wednesday, August 29th: Good afternoon! We can hardly believe it’s the end of August and September is right around the corner – these cooler mornings have us hoping for a long fall as we’re wrapping up our outdoor painting projects.

The crew resumed their painting this afternoon. We did not stain the decks on Building 1&2 as it was too wet from the rain. As of now, the plan is for the crew to complete Buildings 1-4 tomorrow for deck staining. We’ll post an updated schedule if that is not the case, as the schedule will then be pushed back a day for staining. Thanks!


Tuesday, August 28th: Rain Delay


Monday, August 27th: Good afternoon residents of Windward. We hope you all had a great weekend!

Friday, July 13th: Good afternoon residents of Windward in Woodbury! We are thrilled to be completing painting at your association again this year. It’s always a good feeling to be back in a familiar neighborhood!

We’ll be getting started on Monday, July 16th with pressure washing 1 of the 3 buildings (10734 Building)we’ll be prepping and finishing this year/ Also, included in the washing are the decks. 

For pressure washing, we ask that you please remove all personal belongings from the outside of your home/deck. Once we’ve completed the washing you may return items to your deck as we’ll be completing the staining at a later time- we’ll provide notice in advance of this staining, which will again require you to remove items. 

Once the substrates have had time to dry, the crew will return to start prepping and painting the exterior of your building and then lastly stain your deck. We anticipate to start the prep and painting on Thursday, July 29th, weather permitting. 

As we did for last year’s project, we’ll be utilizing this project blog to commuicate progress, project details and scheduling, post photos, and alert you to any weather delays. 

Thanks so much for having us and we’re looking forward to getting started next week!
