"Morales painting stained three decks on my house. They worked hard and completed the job to my satisfaction. The owner Joel was easy to work with and he understood how I wanted the job to be done. We would use them again. William D. Sautee Nacoochee, GA"

"Very well. I was skeptical at first but Mr Miller put me at ease by sending his information and was very transparent. He said he would be at the location at a specific time, and was. Mr. Miller did a great job staining and keeping me informed of his progress through sending pictures and calling me. I would highly recommend him to anyone and will be using him again for my future projects."

Customers say: Quick response

"We needed a pro to refinish our 100 year old hardwoods. Across the entire house the old floors were stained 3 different colors and we needed them to be lightened and matched. Jose was able to finish the job in about 3 1/2 days and the results are magnificent. This is the best the floors have looked in nearly a century! Pricing was reasonable and Jose's team was very professional. I will definitely hire him again to do the remaining 3 rooms still under renovation once we're ready. Awesome job!"

"This father-son team demonstrated exemplary professionalism and attention to detail while completing the sheetrock installation in my bathroom. They proactively protected the workspace by laying down paper on the floors, ensuring cleanliness throughout the project. The pricing was competitive and reflected the superior quality of their workmanship. Great job!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

No, it is not okay to paint over rotted wood. Painting over rotted wood will not address the underlying issue and can trap moisture, leading to further decay. Properly addressing the rotted wood by removing and replacing or repairing the damaged areas is necessary before you can even consider painting.

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.

When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.

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.
