"Mack and his crew did an exceptional job on my screened porch build. We had an existing deck that he built a roof for and also screened the upper and lower deck area. I would not hesitate to hire them again, In fact I have already reached out to them again for some interior work. They also did a job for my parents and did a great job as well. To sum up my experience they were on time, had good communication, delivered quality work, and had fair pricing."

"If you’re looking for a contractor you can build a long-term relationship with, this is the person I recommend. I’ve been working with him for over seven years, across multiple projects, and he has become my go-to contractor. This isn’t a review based on one job. I’ve had years to see the quality of his work, his versatility, his problem-solving ability, and most importantly, whether his work holds up over time. He has handled everything from rehabbing my Airbnb property and roofing work to building a patio cover and deck, installing accent walls, changing light fixtures, completing repairs, and handling numerous renovation and improvement projects along the way. One of the biggest advantages of working with him is that I don’t have to start from scratch searching for a new contractor every time something needs to be done. Whether the project is large or small, interior or exterior, I can call someone I already know and trust. As a property owner, that kind of relationship is inval"

"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."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

It’s best to use an exterior latex acrylic paint to promote maximum adhesion to composite decking. This flexible paint type can better cope with the natural expansion and contraction that can occur with composite deck boards. Oil-based paints won’t adhere as effectively and are more likely to crack and peel as the boards flex. Testing whether your chosen paint will stick on an inconspicuous section or a spare board is a good idea.

Staining a deck is typically less expensive upfront than painting. The cost to stain a deck professionally averages around $850, with most homeowners paying between $550 and $1,250, depending on the deck's size. A DIY staining project can cost less than $100. The cost to paint a deck ranges from $500 to $2,000. While the initial cost of staining is lower, it's important to consider long-term expenses. Paint can last up to 10 years, whereas stain needs to be reapplied every few years, which could lead to higher costs over time.

If you don’t treat a cedar fence, it will turn from reddish brown to gray over time. You can keep the cedar from graying and retain its attractive, deep red color by sealing your cedar fence with a stain that keeps the wood’s oils in and serves as a barrier against the sun’s UV rays.
