"Jeremy was very professional and answered all our questions about painting our house. His estimate was reasonable and we scheduled a starting time. Due to terrible weather, the start was pushed back a bit but he kept in touch with us. He did a great job, was prompt and efficient, and he also repaired a bit of wood on the back of the house that had some rotting issues. I would recommend his service and we will be hiring him again."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Choose based on climate, finish preference (glossy, matte), and durability. Tailored coatings also provide longevity.

You don't need to seal your deck after painting it because most exterior paints are waterproof and weather-resistant. While stealing is not necessary, it can add an additional layer of protection.

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.

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.

A properly applied coat of stain will last between 3 and 8 years, depending on your climate. If you live in a place where your fence experiences a lot of moisture or high heat, your stain will last for a shorter period than in more temperate conditions. We recommend reapplying stain every 3 to 5 years to keep your wood in good condition.
