"Great work power washing, staining, and leveling our large deck. Melvin came out to give us a decent estimate. Workers worked for 2 days straight on the project and were pleasant and professional. Customer service kept up to date on the project and was also very pleasant and professional. I now have a beautiful deck. Would hire again without a doubt!"

"The owner Bill came to see the job in February winter time, I did interview few more companies but he was very acknowledged about my project and concerns. Called him back again mid April for a second interview and go over more details, he was very puntual with his appointment. I hire him and signed the contract he told me my deck will be finished by May 15, 2019, Well my deck was finished today May 2nd. Very happy with their work everything was cleaned very well and my deck looks just beautiful..Now need to wait couple months to stained. Will recommend 100% to family and friends. Thank you Bill..

"I recently hired AllCarePainting for an exterior home painting project, and they exceeded all expectations. The team was professional, punctual, and respectful of my property, ensuring everything stayed clean throughout the job. The quality of their work is outstanding. They used high-quality paints, and the finish is smooth and vibrant. Communication was excellent, with the project manager keeping me informed and answering all my questions. They completed the project on time and within budget, with no surprises. Their attention to detail was impressive, from surface prep to minor repairs, resulting in a flawless finish. I highly recommend them for anyone needing exterior painting. My house looks stunning, and Iâ ve received numerous compliments. Five stars!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Whether you can paint over your existing paint depends on what’s on there. Most of the time, you’ll want to sand down or scrape off the paint that’s currently coating your surface. Epoxy paint, for example, won’t let new paint stick to the surface. Latex paint is more forgiving and will accept a new coat, but a primer is recommended if you’re switching colors.

Always wait until the morning dew has dried before you stain your deck. The stain needs a fully dry surface to sink into.

Exterior paints contain more volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, making them dangerous when used indoors. Without the free ventilation of the great outdoors, it can take longer for the fumes to dissipate than interior paint. While you may notice the smell lessening more quickly, you should be wary of paint fumes inside for 48 to 72 hours after it dries.

Staining a deck is typically less expensive upfront than painting. The cost to stain a deck professionally averages around $850, with most homeowners paying between $550 and $1,250, depending on the deck's size. A DIY staining project can cost less than $100. The cost to paint a deck ranges from $500 to $2,000. While the initial cost of staining is lower, it's important to consider long-term expenses. Paint can last up to 10 years, whereas stain needs to be reapplied every few years, which could lead to higher costs over time.

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must.
