"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!"

"I needed my deck stained. This was not a big job, it took a day to complete. Out of the 4 companies on home advisor only two responded and A,C.S was one of them. When I met with James I knew he was the the company I wanted. His estimate was spot on. James, the owner, took the time when he met with me and explained everything in detail, but more importantly he genuinely cared about myself and my home. James and his partner arrived on time and the work was completed on time and the final result was superb. James partner was as good as he was, I totally understand why James has him with his company. I will use them in the future with out a doubt and suggest you do as well. Thank you A.C.S"

Customers say: True professional

"Jeremiah has done all sorts of work for us but the biggest job he did recently was painting the entire interior of our house. He did a wonderful job. He was very thorough and neat. Always punctual with excellent communication. There were certain spots that needed special attention, like cracks, which he expertly repaired. He is very pleasant and polite. Jeremiah also did some exterior painting and repairs for us. I would definitely ask Jeremiah to help us again in the future. We are looking forward to having him return this coming spring for more projects. Highly recommended!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

It’s best to use an exterior latex acrylic paint to promote maximum adhesion to composite decking. This flexible paint type can better cope with the natural expansion and contraction that can occur with composite deck boards. Oil-based paints won’t adhere as effectively and are more likely to crack and peel as the boards flex. Testing whether your chosen paint will stick on an inconspicuous section or a spare board is a good idea.

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

Ideally, it's best to stain your dock once per year. Applying stain doesn't just keep it looking nice and new; it also helps extend the dock’s lifespan. Since you want to ensure water levels are at their lowest, it's best to have this project done by a professional dock repair service in the cooler autumn or early winter months. 

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.
