"I am so pleased that David was willing to come to my house and provide not only an estimate, but advice on how to professionally repair each of three different kinds of drywall crack problems.  I offered to pay for his time and advice, but all he asked for was a glowing review - Here it is.

"I cannot say enough wonderful things about D&F Painting, Franklin, and Dolly. In years of dealing with contractors, I have NEVER experienced this level of professionalism, patience, attention to detail, and genuine dedication to customer satisfaction. They painted the ENTIRE interior of my home every wall, ceiling, both sides of doors, inside and outside of every closet, and all the trim throughout the house. They also refinished my entire set of kitchen cabinets. This was an enormous project, and their work was absolutely exceptional. My hardwood floors had just been freshly stained, and I was extremely concerned about protecting them. Franklin and Dolly went above and beyond, meticulously covering every inch of flooring in every room and carefully laying paper and taping to protecting everything. Their attention to detail was unlike anything I have ever seen. They showed up on time, worked incredibly hard, and treated my home with such respect I totally recommend DNF painting"

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

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.

You should seal your deck every one to two years, but you’ll also need to clean and repair your wood deck throughout the seasons. You may want to hire a local house cleaning service to sweep and clean the deck thoroughly. These cleaning services cost around $50 per hour.

Inspect your deck at least once a year, and if you notice any damage or rot, expect to spend about $10 to $50 for simple DIY fixes or about $2,000 for professional repairs on more extensive damage.

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.

Apply a wood stain or sealant to properly maintain a wood deck railing and keep it looking new. Sealants protect wood from moisture and weathering. Regularly inspect the railing for loose screws, damaged balusters, and other signs of wear to make timely repairs. Routinely clean the railing using mild soap, water, and a soft bristle brush.

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.
