"Dave was punctual and was very hardworking, making sure my new decking system was installed correctly. He took the time to install each layer of the decking system and made the finished surface graded so the water drained off perfectly. I would hire him again if I ever need to redo my deck."

"Jose first came to discuss the work that needed to be done and he was very straight-forward and friendly. We then discussed cost and colors via email. Jose's team came in and worked quickly and professionally. When they left, there was no mess behind, and the walls looked great. There were a few spots that got smudged before the paint was fully dry and Jose sent people to fix it without any additional cost to us. We would definitely use Jose's Painting again."

"We used Specialty Design to resurface and stain our concrete pool deck. It was a big job. They first had to grind off the old Sundek. Kaveh and his team were great. He communicated well, showed up on time, cost was fair, does high quality work and his guys took great pride in their work, were respectful and also cleaned up each day. We love our newly restored deck. I highly recommend Specialty Design Coatings."

"James painted my 2900 sq ft single story home in one day. His crew was polite, efficient, and very thorough. They cleaned up afterwards and put everything back. James put the four color samples that I requested on my house and helped me make a decision. His crew walked with us around the house after completion to make sure we were satisfied. We were pleased beyond our expectations with the price and quality of the job."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

Yes, professionals offer slip-resistant options for added workplace safety.

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

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.

The best temperature to paint a pool deck is between 50 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit, because many paints and sealers require temperatures warm enough for the chemical reaction to take place for proper curing. The paint should not be allowed to freeze, and temperatures above 90 degrees can cause the paint to dry too quickly, also preventing the chemical reaction from following through to completion.
