"This double project was planned to maximize timing for weather and preparation. Care was given to landscaping near the decks during power wash and the stain/sealing process. Very complete in the application of the chosen product with an excellent finished space. The crew was polite and professional in communication, and assisted in moving/resetting heavier items from the decks. Very pleased with the entire process and final results. Definitely will recommend for your home projects, large or small."

"Would use this company again! They worked very hard and kept me updated all along the way. When they came in to do the prep work, they spent a great deal of time pressure washing the house, scraping and sanding, taping off windows, etc and covering my plants and moving other items. They were fast and thorough when painting and staining my two decks. Roger and Wilmer were very knowledgeable and professional. GREAT JOB, GUYS."

"The Rico team did such a quality job for me! They were meticulous, responsive and easy to work with. Due to the cold temperatures and the difficulty of removing paint from siding, the job took longer, but the result was worth it. I would not hesitate to use them again."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

When choosing between deck stain or paint, knowing what will last longer is important. Deck paint lasts longer than deck stain. With deck paint, you can get up to 10 years of coverage before you need to reapply. With deck stain, that time is significantly shorter at two to three years

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

Ipe wood can last up to 75 years with minimal maintenance because its own oils help to preserve it. However, to get the most out of your Ipe wood deck, you should perform some routine maintenance, including regular cleaning, sweeping of leaves and debris, and rinsing spills with a hose. It’s also important to repair any deep scratches as soon as you spot them and reseal the deck annually to protect against scratches and scuffs.

Yes, staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan, typically by five to 10 years. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and rot over time. Applying a treatment creates a protective shield that helps prevent splintering, fading, and decay, preserving the wood's strength and appearance. A combination stain and sealer often provides the best protection, as it soaks into the wood grain rather than just sitting on top. This offers superior defense against UV damage and rot and lasts longer than a sealer alone. To maintain the wood's natural look, consider using a near-translucent stain. You should plan to reapply the stain or sealer every two to three years.

Routine cleaning, sealing/staining, and inspection prolong deck life and appearance.
