"I went with LuxeCoat Solutions to paint my house, on a friend's recommendation. To say I was not disappointed would be an understatement. Daniel, the owner, was a pleasure to work with and I soon realized his definition of good enough was higher than mine. He worked efficiently, and meticulously, with minimal disruption. My house looks like new. I unhesitatingly recommend this Company if you're looking for excellent work at a more than reasonable cost."

"Triple N did a great job for my project. They listened to my needs and made suggestions to make the job better. They showed up and completed the job, and was also willing to help me with some extra things that I needed done. The paint job was clean and professional done. I was very satisfied and will refer them to others in the future. I will continue to use their services for any future projects that I have. Tara was great with the communication keeping me updated. Thanks everyone!!"

"We had a lot of rotten boards on our deck and a large section by the pool that was beyond repair. Mike did a great job replacing rotten boards and completely redoing the section by the pool including replacing the trusses. We are very happy with how everything turned out."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.

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.

Exterior paints contain more volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, making them dangerous when used indoors. Without the free ventilation of the great outdoors, it can take longer for the fumes to dissipate than interior paint. While you may notice the smell lessening more quickly, you should be wary of paint fumes inside for 48 to 72 hours after it dries.

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

The best time to paint your deck is when temperatures are neither too cold (below 60 degrees) nor too hot (above 85 degrees). Always paint your deck when there’s no risk of rain. For fast-drying paint like acrylic or latex, ensure your deck can dry for at least four hours. Oil-based paints take longer to dry and may require 48 hours to completely cure.
