"Posting this as a referral/recommendation for Richard at CRG General Construction. We had them do: - Raise our deck 4 inches in the center (was sagging). - Replace a 10 ft. section of fence that was sagging and needed new fence posts. - Replace a 6 foot section of fence + new gate. - Power wash and stain ~250 feet of fence and our deck (8x16ft) with cosmetic touch ups to the deck (replacing handrails, balusters). Overall great job done, very responsive and done at half the price of other contractors I talked to. Only issue we ran into was rain pushing out our time to stain a couple of times in May. Would recommend for similar projects. He says they do anything interior of the house as well so give him a shout if you have a project you need help with."

"I was a little bit disappointed. He came out, looked at the house and estimated he would need about 6 gallons of paint. I went and purchased 6 gallons of paint. A few days later, his workers showed up. They painted the areas that I asked Mr. Vargas to paint. They skipped one area at the top of the gable in the house. It has an awning in front of the window. I expected them to either ask me to remove the awning, remove it themselves or paint around it. Instead, they left that part unpainted completely. They painted up to the side as they could without removing the awning. They stopped and left that part unpainted. They finished up, packed up and left. There was a minor additional cost."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, you must thoroughly clean your deck before staining. If you don't, dirt, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped between the wood and the new stain. This not only looks unsightly but also prevents the stain from penetrating the wood properly, reducing its ability to protect the deck from weather and UV rays. As a result, the stain won't last as long or look as good. Any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage. Always wait at least 48 hours after cleaning for the wood to dry completely before applying stain.

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.

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.

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

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
