"Iâ m so glad I hired Oak Street to stain my deck and touch up/paint the siding on the back of my house. Dallas did an amazing job! I appreciated his attention to detail, keeping me informed about when he would be on site and he finished the job in time expected. He left no trace other than a beautiful deck and great looking paint job."

"Overall a great job at a fair price. Out six companies providing quotes, they won the business. Four other company quotes were thrown out for one being very low (half as much), and one for being very high (almost double), and two for no insurance. In the end, between two companies, Eagle got the business due to the reviews on Angie's List, and the discussion with Steve during the initial walk through for quote, and subsequent detailed quote covering all items discussed. The paint crew was on time every day. Crew leader Bobby was very organized, and worked with us on our ever changing order of rooms to paint, as furniture was moved from room to room, while considering the dogs & cat that were inside. All of the crew were genuinely nice guys, considerate of our belongings, and the most important they were good painters. Straight lines along walls to ceiling, and around the stained wood trim through out the house. Extensive drywall patching was required in garage, and now it looks great. We look forward to having them come back, once our unfinished basement if completed later this year."

"Best work, price, and team members that could ever want to hire. Ivan Franco was the project manager. He had several different teams which were specialist in every aspect of removal of the old siding, repairing our back deck and deck stairs. This included preparing my house to received a satisfactory rating to assist me in getting my mortgage refinance through the Veterans Administration. After refinance the Make A Choice Home Exterior, LLC team removed our old siding and installed the new Hardie Plank Siding , install new outside lights, reframed out windows and painted the new siding. This has been a great experience."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

You don’t necessarily have to remove all the old paint before repainting your deck, but it’s best to remove as much as possible to ensure a smooth and long-lasting finish. Prioritize scraping off loose, peeling, or flaking paint, and sand down rough areas to create a smooth surface for the new paint to bond with.

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.

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

Two coats of stain are ideal for the best protection and aesthetic appeal. However, if your decking is made of particularly dense hardwood, you may only need one coat. If you want an intense color, two coats are ideal.

Yes, beginners can use a paint sprayer, but there is a learning curve. It's important to go slowly, read the instructions thoroughly, and spend some time learning the technique. Watching tutorial videos for your specific paint sprayer model can be very helpful. Before starting your main project, practice on a scrap surface to get used to the sprayer and avoid common issues like overspraying, which can cause drips, bubbles, and other imperfections. For safety, always wear a mask and gloves, and be careful not to touch the sprayer's tip when it's in use, particularly with high-powered airless sprayers.
