"James and his Dad were great! They responded to my request promptly and arrived at my home in a timely manner the following day. They were very professional and took the time to explain every aspect of the work that needed to be done. The cost for the project was very reasonable, and they did an excellent job repairing the exterior trim on my home - they even went as far as to reinforce the existing trim on that same side as well. I will definitely recommend their services and will gladly use them again for any future projects."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, you can stain your wood deck over old stain, but proper preparation is the key to successful results. Begin by thoroughly cleaning the deck to remove dirt, debris, and loose or flaking old stain. Sanding or stripping may be necessary to smooth the surface and ensure proper adhesion of the new stain. Test a small area to ensure compatibility between the old and new stain. Also, choose a stain compatible with the existing stain type and color. By following these steps meticulously, you can achieve a refreshed appearance while preserving the integrity of your deck.

You should treat your deck with stain or sealer every two to three years to ensure it stays durable and protected from the elements. If you have a painted deck, we suggest repainting it every 10 years. You should clean your deck annually and inspect it for loose or damaged boards, screws, and nails. By maintaining your wood deck, you ensure its longevity, durability, and appearance.

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

Painting and staining have their own pros and cons, so it’s up to the homeowner to decide what’s best. The good news is that both options can work. Stain is cheaper, easier to apply, and creates a more natural look. Paint lasts longer, has a wider variety of color options, and offers more protection against moisture and sunlight.
