The job was done to our complete satisfaction. We couldn't be happier as they did everything they said they'd do. Thank you CG Pro Painting."

"I wanted to love this company as their paperwork was very professional and the rep was very personable. However, when they said they would sand the roof and deck, it turns out that very little was actually sanded before they lay down a solid stain. They did spray and back fill the whole deck, the roof, the trim around a window, and the wood under the fascia, along with the entire railing around the deck. It looks much better, although I can see flakes of the old paint that were pasted down with the new spray, and part of the roof was not covered very well. The rep said that the work was guaranteed for 3 years, but that is not mentioned in the paperwork I received. I would have felt better if the cost had not been so high. I guess I expected perfection for $3,000."

"As a contractor, I have hired Alex and Ruben for numerous jobs over a 3-year period. The jobs they completed for me were interior drywall/painting, exterior stucco repairs/painting, power washing, fence and window wrap staining, garage slab epoxying, light carpentry work (baseboards, wall extensions, door casing, and fence repairs), LVP installation, and hanging barn doors. They always showed up on time ready to work, did excellent work, and most importantly were wonderful with my customers. Since moving back to Seattle I still have customers reaching out to me and am continuing to refer them to AR Coatings due to the excellent work and customer service they have always provided. I recommend Alex and Ruben for any job from the list above."

"If you want painters that are very considerate, hardworking and are very reasonably priced, then look no further. Do yourself a favor and at least meet Marco Reyes to get a quote. We are so glad that we did and went with SD Pro Painting. Marco has great communication and always asks before assuming on the project. They not only painted the exterior of our house, but they also replaced several wood trim sections that were in extremely bad shape (which we knew about), prior to painting. They also did many extras that we did not ask for or expected, i.e., buying new and attaching address numbers to the house, cutting up the old trim they removed and cutting down a bush for us that we were not able to complete. We have never had such a wonderful experience with a contractor. They were a blessing, and we will always recommend them to our friends and family. We cannot thank them enough for everything they did. They are wonderful!!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

Hiring a contractor or professional deck refinisher is the best way to ensure your deck is properly stained. They have the expertise, tools, and supplies to do the job quickly and efficiently. However, staining a deck is a manageable task for most homeowners, and doing the job yourself can save money. Just keep in mind that DIY staining is a long process requiring physical strain, so it may not be the best option for everyone.

Adding a second coat of stain to wood can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.

Deciding whether to stain or paint a pool deck depends on your budget, desired look, and the deck's material. Both options can work. Paint offers a wider variety of color options, provides excellent water resistance, and can last longer. However, it requires a primer and can eventually fade or peel. Stain is often cheaper, easier to apply, and penetrates the wood for a more natural look and longer-lasting finish. It also has great water resistance. The downsides are fewer color options and the need for a sealant. The choice can also depend on the deck material; for example, staining may be a better option for concrete as it bonds well and lasts longer than paint.

Hangers are one way of attaching stair stringers to a deck. These metal hangers are usually adjustable, allowing you to find the ideal angle for a secure installation. They’re the best choice for installing longer staircases, such as one on a two-story deck, to reduce the load on the deck frame while keeping the stairs stable.
