"We made the right choice with "Make A Choice Home Exteriors". We have a 1940s Craftsman Bungalow that needed extensive exterior renovations with the siding, windows, doors, and several other repairs completed. After going through several contractors we decided there was one more to check out with 5 stars and great reviews called Make A Choice Home Exteriors and then we'll choose, so my husband said call them to request for a estimate. Assistant Project Manager Manuel came out to perform the estimate whom was very professional, friendly and attentive to what was important to us in completing this project. I called my husband and told him about the experience with Manuel, so we decided to choose Make A Choice as our contractor. As the project moved forward the team (Manuel, Fabian, Ivan, Domingo "Sunday", ALL the contractors as well as the Owners ) didn't disappoint and showed us it was about our vision what we wanted and needed; they worked diligently, passionately and went above and beyond to ensure we were completely satisfied with every detail. Pictures prove that "Make A Choice Home Exteriors" was the right choice. Thank you for your services!"

"Mack and his crew did an exceptional job on my screened porch build. We had an existing deck that he built a roof for and also screened the upper and lower deck area. I would not hesitate to hire them again, In fact I have already reached out to them again for some interior work. They also did a job for my parents and did a great job as well. To sum up my experience they were on time, had good communication, delivered quality work, and had fair pricing."

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.

It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the deck refinishing process. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.

Yes, it is generally a very good idea to seal your deck after pressure washing. Power washing removes not only dirt and debris but also a thin layer of wood, leaving the surface exposed and more susceptible to weathering. Sealing is almost always needed after this process. After a general cleaning, sealing isn't automatically necessary if the existing sealant is still intact. You can test the surface by placing a few drops of water on it. If the water beads up, the sealant is working. If it soaks into the wood, it's time to apply a new sealant. If it has been a few years, it's wise to remove the old sealant, wash the deck, and reseal for maximum protection.

It's okay to walk on a newly painted deck after about four to six hours as long as the weather has been dry. Be sure to wait at least 24 hours before you place any outdoor furniture or grills on a freshly painted deck, though.

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must.
