"Our deck had become unsafe for the kids and dog to play on. Central Coast Decks and Siding inspected everything and explained why the boards were failing. Instead of pushing a total rebuild, they recommended a repair that made it feel brand new without breaking the bank. The team was respectful, patient with all my questions, and even fixed a railing I did not know was loose. I will be recommending them to everyone on our street."

"It was a pleasure to work with the owner of this company who gave us quality work for a very fair price. The work crew was all professional, respectful, friendly, and they kept our property clean and picked up during the work process. They painted both my deck and some of my interior walls (matched to the other paint on my walls perfectly!) I highly recommend Paneless Painting Company for any interior or exterior work needed. A-1 crew."

"Amazing! Juan’s (Owner) Team of Painter/Workers were so Good & Efficient! All his workers were Respectful, Polite, Kind, Detail Oriented, Happy & hard workers. They finished painting the Exterior of my house in 3 days! And, they even made my front door & door frame look brand new! I had several large nail holes in the door frame & ~2” x 1/2” area, about 1/4” Deep notch. I can’t even tell that anything was wrong with my door frame! I Love my “New House” with its new Paint! They are Excellent Painters/Workers!! Juan, the owner of Pacific Edge Painting is very professional and a Good Painter Contractor to work with. When we met for the estimate, he was very professional, respectful, personable & thorough. He emailed me our contract and kept in touch throughout the whole process of me getting the exterior of my house painted. He’s very dependable, fair & kind. He takes good care of his Workers/Painters. And, I feel that he took good care of me throughout this process. I highly recommend “Pacific Edge Painting”!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.

Yes, it is generally a very good idea to seal your deck after pressure washing. Power washing removes not only dirt and debris but also a thin layer of wood, leaving the surface exposed and more susceptible to weathering. Sealing is almost always needed after this process. After a general cleaning, sealing isn't automatically necessary if the existing sealant is still intact. You can test the surface by placing a few drops of water on it. If the water beads up, the sealant is working. If it soaks into the wood, it's time to apply a new sealant. If it has been a few years, it's wise to remove the old sealant, wash the deck, and reseal for maximum protection.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.
