"Jerrod and Chance were fantastic! From our very first meeting they went above and beyond in explaining and even figuring out the complicated land survey I had. They didn't mind taking the time to fully explain concepts and processes I didn't understand. From just speaking with them you can tell they have a ton of experience and they care about the work they do. Rockin H&M took my vision for my fence and executed the project better than I could ever imagine! I even noticed some of my neighbors coming up to talk to them, as well as the land developers that are working on a new housing community across from my home coming over to speak with them. These guys were fast and efficient, without compromising quality. Their communication throughout the entire process was superb! I got 7 quotes for my fence and Rockin H&M landed somewhere in the middle. I decided to go with them because I didn't want to jeopardize quality for a lower price. Of all the companies I came across, Rockin H&M was the most knowledgeable, respectful, and caring. I am so grateful to have found them on Angi! I am beyond pleased with my new fence and my dogs absolutely love it!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

It’s a good idea to sand your porch before painting. This will remove loose or chipped paint and debris, and give you a cleaner surface so that your new paint goes on smoothly. But if the existing surface is in good condition, it’s not necessary to sand your porch before you paint.

Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint. 

Adding a second coat of stain to wood can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.

If your biggest concern is making sure your deck doesn’t show dirt, opt for a darker neutral color that blends in well with your surrounding landscape. A rich brown or dark grey are both good options that work with a variety of house colors. A high-quality acrylic paint is easy to clean and maintain, so it might be worth spending the money on.

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.
