"My mom had a deck built about 10 years ago off the back of her garage area that connected to a larger deck via steps and a concrete walkway. Unfortunately, the original deck steps had dry rot and collapsed. Mr. Rigo provided a fast and fair estimate to rebuild the deck and steps, also salvaging and reusing the parts that were trex material. Within a week of meeting him and agreeing to a price, he and his crew disassembled, rebuilt the foundational structure and steps, and reassembled the deck. They did a beautiful job. They also installed and painted lattice to keep critters out from making homes under both decks. Attached are photos during and after the rebuild. Rigo also fixed some smaller items in the house for my mom. She is very pleased with his work and has commented about how professional, organized, tidy, prompt, and kind he has been throughout the process. We would definitely call him again if or when we have more projects."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.

Hot, intense sunshine can cause your stain to dry too quickly, which could lead it to look uneven or patchy. If you’re staining the deck during hotter months, it’s best to do it in the morning or evening once the wood has had time to cool down. If you’re staining in cooler weather with less sunshine, the time of day won’t make as much of a difference.

Adding a second coat of stain to wood can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.

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.
