"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."

"Took care to ensure the right stain for the project. Finished in one day (stained cedar shakes on home and garage). Very flexible in scheduling. Cleaned up well. Reasonable cost, but preferred only cash payments."

"They did a conscientious job.  We have many decks and deck railings. We had a new roof put on last year and were concerned about paint getting dripped or sprayed onto our new shingles or our outdoor decking's indoor/outdoor carpeting.  They did a very neat job.  We are very pleased with the results.  The onsite supervisor was a very hard working person that was very amenable to any requests we had.  We would hire them again.

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

You can use latex or acrylic paint outdoors. Although acrylic paint tends to last longer outside, it also costs more, so if you’re painting the outside of your house, for instance, latex paint is often a go-to option. However, acrylic will be your best choice if you want to spend some extra money for added durability.

Liquid rubber is great for waterproofing, but it can damage your deck if it’s not applied correctly. First, it can trap moisture in the wood if the deck isn’t completely dry before application.  Second, applying it too thickly can create a heavy, rubbery surface layer that peels and cracks under fluctuating temperatures. For the best results, ensure the wood is completely dry before application, and apply the liquid rubber in thin, even coats. A quick inspection every now and then will help you catch any issues early, keeping your deck protected and looking its best.

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.

It’s necessary for paint to completely dry before exposure to rain, and that drying time varies by the type of paint used. Oil-based paint takes 6 to 8 hours to dry on average, meaning that’s the minimum time needed between the last brush stroke and the first raindrop. Latex paint dries faster at around 1 hour, and acrylic paint is even quicker, usually drying in about 30 minutes. If rain is in the forecast, check the paint manufacturer's details before laying on a new coat. 

Staining pressure-treated wood is a recommended practice. While inherently resilient, it's not impervious to moisture and UV exposure. Staining treated wood is feasible and recommended for enhanced protection and longevity. Applying stain and sealant safeguards against degradation, prolonging its life span. These measures shield the wood from environmental threats while augmenting its aesthetic appeal, ensuring your investment endures the test of time.
