"I cannot say enough how happy we are to have found Loui and his company to install our driveway and walkway. We had a complicated issue involving diverting water away from our house and we needed a unique solution. Loui went the extra mile to help us develop a modern sectioned driveway and walkway that is specifically designed to address our water issues and it looks beautiful. I highly recommend this company. Loui and his family were a real joy to work with. Bill and Claniece"

"Adam was superior in contact via phone and email to explain and plan for painting and starting date. Since I don’t live in the area where I own the house he sent me photos of work before and after. He was able to repair rotted wood or also a large wooden loose slatted vent above garage door. He also power washed home before where algae grew on siding. He can also do deck painting too. He used paint products that are high quality overall. I am extremely pleased with his work and communication to satisfy the customer."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.

When choosing between deck stain or paint, knowing what will last longer is important. Deck paint lasts longer than deck stain. With deck paint, you can get up to 10 years of coverage before you need to reapply. With deck stain, that time is significantly shorter at two to three years

The opposite is actually true: Wood stains tend to appear lighter when they’re fully dry. However, stains may darken as they weather and oxidize with age. Stains might also darken on surfaces left in direct sunlight, as UV rays can break down pigment particles and cause them to darken over time.

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.
