"My project was to restain my new deck after a botched job done by another contractor. Jose showed up with his crew exactly when he said he would, did the job quickly and the deck looks great - he helped me make the best of a bad situation (I wanted semi-transparent but the stain previously applied was done so unevenly, there was no way to apply more to fix it. Jose recommended solid stain, and I'm much happier with a uniform color than the mess I had before!) Would definitely hire them again and recommend them to others."

"After having had a terrible experience with another painter, we decided to contact Color World through Angi. From our initial contact, we were very pleased with the promptness and professionalism of Gary Sheffer and his company. They did our job exactly as requested at a very reasonable price. Gary’s crew was polite, efficient and easy to work with. Best of all, they completed the job in only three days. We could not be happier with Color World Painting. Highly recommend!"

"I worked with Bryant who kept me informed every step of the way. The crew was amazing and completed the work in 4 days, 2 days ahead of schedule. Quality of the work is unquestionable, and the paint crew were courteous and professional. I can’t say enough to convey how happy I am, no buyer’s remorse for me, my biggest fear going in. So much value for the money and place looks brand new. Thank you Bryant and crew!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

You should seal your deck every one to two years, but you’ll also need to clean and repair your wood deck throughout the seasons. You may want to hire a local house cleaning service to sweep and clean the deck thoroughly. These cleaning services cost around $50 per hour.

Inspect your deck at least once a year, and if you notice any damage or rot, expect to spend about $10 to $50 for simple DIY fixes or about $2,000 for professional repairs on more extensive damage.

For the longest-lasting exterior paint, consider acrylic or enamel (oil-based) paints. Acrylic paints, including acrylic latex and acrylic enamel, are known for withstanding harsh weather and sun exposure. Enamel-based paints are also one of the most durable options available. While latex paint is common, it typically has a shorter lifespan than acrylic or oil-based options. The paint's finish also affects its durability; a higher gloss finish is generally more durable. For resistance to moisture and cracking, matte and satin finishes can be effective, while a high-gloss acrylic or oil-based paint offers a combination of maximum longevity and durability.

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

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.

Rags used with oil-based stains are highly flammable and can spontaneously combust in the right conditions. To reduce the fire risk, throw them in a metal container after use and add rocks on top to secure them. Add an inch of water and seal the container. Take the rags in the container to a hazardous waste factory as soon as possible.
