"Alberto’s team was great. They pressure washed the house. Stained the house and painted the deck. Also, they pressure washed the driveway, repaired the chimney, and replaced some of the railroad ties. They cleaned up very well. Very professional. They did much more than the “exterior painting” option category below."

"Carlos did an amazing job. He was always on time and showed up everyday that he said he would. I needed him to tape, mud, and finish a room of drywall for me. He also patched some stuff that I asked about last minute. Great guy and does very professional work. He even left the workspace clean after everything he did for the day. Highly recommend!"

"Nathan and Scott were excellent workers who paid attention to details. They found a problem that I was unaware of, and came back to paint the area that was repaired. I would recommend Stricklands Staining to every one."

"VERY HAPPY with the quality, professionalism, knowledge and overall work they did. We had flying squirrels in our ceiling for years and the tongue and groove started to fall, along with feces and urine. They gave us a very fair estimate and put us on the schedule as we live in Florida. They met us the following month to complete the job and turned out perfect!!!!! The stain is exact and they cleaned everything!!! We will definitely be using them again for other projects in the future!!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND if youâ re looking for quality work at a great price!!!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

You can use latex or acrylic paint outdoors. Although acrylic paint tends to last longer outside, it also costs more, so if you’re painting the outside of your house, for instance, latex paint is often a go-to option. However, acrylic will be your best choice if you want to spend some extra money for added durability.

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. 

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.
