"Raff Inc. is the best of the best! Jerry is an honest and hardworking man as well as his crew! They replaced all my cedar siding with the hardy board as well as replaced my shutters, added fascia boarding, and installed a new door with sidelights. Jerry has also come out for complete small projects such as the roofing and deck on my childs playhouse, hung a swing on my porch that was not installed correctly by someone else, and even fixed a fascia board for free that was sticking out due to storms. Jerry pays close attention to detail and gives 110%. I receive compliments daily on my home by neighbors who always inquire about who remodeled our home. He has done work for others in my neighborhood. Planning to have Jerry come up and install flooring in my kitchen soon. So glad we found him! Worth every penny!"

"Professional, courteous and competent. The crew did top notch work and in a timely manner. Very pleased with the paint removal from our concrete patio floor and the sealing they did to finish it. They also cleaned and painted the deck around our pool."

"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."

"The painters were very polite and hard working. Kip Kirk came over to our home and gave us an estimate on Wednesday and had his painters paint our two bathrooms and tub room on Thursday. The workers did not take a break the entire time they worked on our bathrooms. We are planning to paint the fireplace and brick in our family room sometime this summer. We plan to call Kip Kirk to do the work. We are very pleased with the completed paint job and would recommend this company to others. Pat and Chuck Brumfield"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.

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.

The staining or painting process involves cleaning the deck, sanding surfaces, applying a primer (if needed), and carefully applying stain or paint for an even, lasting finish.

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.
