"Pro Painters did an excellent job correcting a previous re-stain job gone wrong. First, Pro Painters responded to my query promptly and scheduled a no-cost estimate immediately. Second, Benard showed up on time and gave me an insightful analysis of the problems with the prior job and how to correct it. The written estimate came promptly after, via email. Third, he returned when promised to review the job specs with me and his crew captain. Fourth--and most important: I was out of town when the crew performed the job, but Benard kept me posted and agreed to accept payment (a) once I returned to town and (b) if I was pleased with the job. Talk about trust! I'm so pleased with the new stain--I can tell at a glance and touch that it's been applied properly, unlike the previous job. Second: Benard and his team had to replace several worn and rotting planks (because the prior job peeled prematurely and left the wood exposed for months to 2018-19's punishing snow and rain), and the deck is now sturdier, as it should've been. Throughout the process, Pro Painters communicated with me clearly, directly, promptly. They execute their work with precision and care. I paid a lot ($1700) for this job to be done 2 years ago; I collected 2 other bids for the re-do that came in significantly less than Pro Painters. But their professionalism and, now, I see, execution makes me confident that the extra money was well worth it. I recommend Pro Painters highly."

"I have a large deck with a grape vine top. It was in dire need of repairs(washing, sanding, replacing rotted wood, staining) I called J. Corrigan from Angie's list. He arrived estimated and I contracted with him. His team arrived and an excellent job was performed in the amount of time given. I will be calling them again for other projects. "Thanks Joe and team for a job well done.""

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.

If you don’t treat a cedar fence, it will turn from reddish brown to gray over time. You can keep the cedar from graying and retain its attractive, deep red color by sealing your cedar fence with a stain that keeps the wood’s oils in and serves as a barrier against the sun’s UV rays.

When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.

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.

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.
