"My husband hired Stanley to stain our home. Were I think he did a awesome job. I found him very respectful and professional. He offered to customize our shutters, Because I didn't like the old ones. He also replace my old lights for me, And stain my porch furniture to keep the theme of our home. Stanley by far. Did a great job, And I would recommend help to anyone."

"I have to compliment You on your service and, in particular, Arturo and his crew. I've had many contractors work on my house; in fact this is the third time in 13 years that I've had the trim painted. Without a doubt this was the best crew of people that have ever worked on my home. They were very nice to work with and the paint job was excellent. They did everything meticulously. Completely satisfied!"

"All Brothers painting did an excellent job on the exterior of our house. Such professionals and very polite, arrived on time every day, cleaned up everyday. Replaced some of our wood siding, painted 3 colors on the house, plus painted our porches and deck floors and handicap ramp in cedar color. Back screened in sun porch with A frame ceilings. They primed the house with oil base paint first then sprayed and back brushed entire house. Highly recommend these pros. You won t be disappointed"

"A-1 Phillips repaired wood rot on our deck and re-stained all surfaces. They also painted a newly installed French Door. They did an excellent job with attention to detail. We appreciated their recommendations on preserving our deck for the future. Terry and Ray are very personable and easy to work with. The services were reasonably priced. They even did additional work for us as part of the job to ensure we were satisfied, and the project was complete. The workmanship was above and beyond our expectations. We will certainly call them again for all our painting and household repair needs."

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Pressure-treated wood lasts at least 10 years, but with the right care and treatment, it can last as long as 40 years. Painting the boards is one way to increase the lifespan of pressure-treated wood. The layer of paint provides extra protection for the wood against the exterior elements and insects.

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. 

Yes, you must thoroughly clean your deck before staining. If you don't, dirt, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped between the wood and the new stain. This not only looks unsightly but also prevents the stain from penetrating the wood properly, reducing its ability to protect the deck from weather and UV rays. As a result, the stain won't last as long or look as good. Any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage. Always wait at least 48 hours after cleaning for the wood to dry completely before applying stain.

Always wait until the morning dew has dried before you stain your deck. The stain needs a fully dry surface to sink into.
