"Rick is the poster guy for over performing. He pressure washed our siding, gutters, blew off debris off our garage and house roof, and made other suggestions concerning roof replacement. I had no idea or roof was failing or soft, but his inspection revealed issues which need repair and issues of which we were totally unaware.. Ill have Rick back to pressure wash/strip and paint my deck and for any roof repairs we decide on. He was extremely professional, upbeat, and respectful beyond belief. Should I need any serious home repairs, I have his card on hand as the job he did was exceptional.. A+++"

"They were puntual and ready to do the job in the time set, even earlier to start. They kept the other areas cover and protected from the painting job. They always wanted to make sure the customer was satisfied with the job, if not they will come by and work on fixing it promptly. Very friendly and respectful crew. Great final job."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

It’s often best to spray on deck sealer. Sprayers can apply sealant more quickly and evenly than rolling while still enabling you to reach tight spaces. When using a sprayer, always use a low-pressure setting at a close distance to ensure an even application. Avoid using sprayers on windy days.

Aftercare includes routine cleaning, checking for water repellency, and promptly addressing any chips or peels, maintaining the deck's appearance and functionality.

A wood deck requires annual cleaning and regular inspections for loose or broken boards, nails, and screws. It should be refinished by applying a stain or sealer every two to three years to protect the wood from water damage, rot, mildew, and sun fading. The exact frequency can depend on the climate and the deck's exposure to sun and moisture. If your deck is painted, it will need repainting approximately every 10 years. Signs that your deck needs refinishing include faded, splintering, or warping boards.

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

You’ll need to restrain your deck when you notice fading, cracking, peeling, or mold and mildew over a moderate to large area, or when it’s become especially difficult to clean. As for how often to stain a deck, plan to do it every two to three years or whenever you start to notice extended damage.
