"Everyone at Elaran Painting was excellent! Our house looks amazing! Alberto even helped us pick our stain color for our shutters when we couldn’t decide. He is very professional, and his team was very friendly. The price was very reasonable. We will definitely hire them again for our painting needs!"

"Stanley’s Painting was not only affordable, but incredibly professional and delivered outstanding results. His crew was hardworking, respectful, and efficient, consistently going above and beyond. From day one, they impressed us—taking the initiative to clean the back porch and even the kids’ playground without being asked. Their attention to detail and work ethic truly stood out. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and will absolutely use them again. Highly recommend!"

"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!"

"Franchise owner was great but crew needed more oversight. Preparation of exterior was lacking and covered with paint. There is a good warranty and owner saw to it that what needed redoing was done to the best of their ability, but it took two months. Several other areas were poorly patched instead of informing me that it was beyond their ability and now I am having to hire more capable companies at additional expense."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years.

Yes, professionals offer slip-resistant options for added workplace safety.

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.

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.
