"“Baumgras Consulting did a great job on our deck repair. The team was professional, responsive, and finished the work on time. The repairs look solid and the deck feels much safer and better than before. Communication was clear throughout the process, and the final result exceeded expectations. I’d definitely recommend them for deck repair or other home improvement projects.”"

"We hired this contracting firm for two separate projects. The first was our 3 story deck - when we bought our fixer upper the deck was really cool but needed some loving. Tim from Make a Choice was so positive and really got the job done. He brought all the railings up to code, fixed the rotted footings with new concrete piers, and kept the place clean. Easy to communicate with and his team was so professional and nice - even to the point that when we asked that they keep noise down during our kids' naptime - they complied. Deck feels so sturdy now. Second project was our roof. Ours was old and leaking. We called Tim's brother Chuck over and he quoted us a roof repair with architectural shingles. Quote came in several thousand less than another trusted roofer we knew and since we had a good experience with Make a Choice in the past we went with them. Only issue was that we had a loss of communication in that we needed our skylights taken out and team working on it did not get that memo. However, issue brought to attention and they took care of it. We will probably be hiring this firm again to do some new siding and painting in the near future."

"It is rare these days to find someone so extremely hardworking and punctual, who always does what he says he will do. His house painting prep work was painstaking and detailed, and he carefully selected thee correct types of paint for each different surface. There were several rotten boards on my old deck that his crew carefully replaced, as well as repainting the whole deck. I was very happy the the job and would gladly hire Mr. Bautista again for future projects."

"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."

"Doug did a great job. Put together two, all-wood dressers in a couple of hours that would have taken me probably two days to complete. The price was fair and extremely happy with the outcome."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

Yes, it is important to wash your deck before painting to ensure the paint applies well and adheres properly. While you don't have to use a pressure washer, it is one of the most efficient cleaning methods. Pressure washing can quickly remove dirt, wood fibers, and flaked paint, getting deeper into the wood than manual scrubbing. You can also clean the deck with a stiff broom and a cleaning solution. Regardless of the method, a clean surface is essential for good paint adhesion. Make sure the deck is completely dry before applying any paint.

Avoid using cleaning products that are abrasive or contain bleach or acidic components on composite decking to avoid discoloration. Early-generation Trex decking isn’t designed to handle pressure washer cleaning—and if you use them on second-generation boards, always use a low setting to avoid the risk of damage that can risk voiding your warranty.

A five-gallon bucket of deck stain will cover roughly 875 square feet in a single coat. Actual coverage will vary based on the type of wood you’re staining and the number of coats. If you plan on doing multiple coats, multiply the square footage by the number of coats to calculate how many buckets of stain you’ll need.

You’ll need to restrain your deck when you notice fading, cracking, peeling, or mold and mildew over a moderate to large area, or when it’s become especially difficult to clean. As for how often to stain a deck, plan to do it every two to three years or whenever you start to notice extended damage.
