"Guys are friendly and very helpful. Wish the spray would have gotten in the cracks between the deck boards more evenly. Would also have liked to see more sanding to remove old paint drips. Other than that, the decks, steps, posts and railings look great."

"I hired Core Construction to replace shattered glass railings on two large decks. In the process he discovered that on corner of the two decks was four inches lower than the rest of the deck due to a rotting beam. Core Construction jacked up both decks [one above the other] replaced the rotted beam, poured new footings, replaced corner posts, painted all replaced lumber, and then replaced the glass panel railings with cable railings.  Their work was absolutely first class, they were reliable, always on site on time, and they cleaned up their mess and debris at the end of each day.  I was totally pleased with the work, their work ethic, and professionalism.  I would strongly recommend Core Construction for any work on a home.  Additionally, I watched them reroof my neighbor's house, paint the house and add rock wall siding to the lower level.  It all looked great.  Stacey Carlson, owner of Core Construction, is a man of his word and his is integrity beyond reproach."

"Ben and his crew did an excellent job on my house. Being very particular, I am a hard person to please and Ben not only meet but exceeded my expectations. The Crew was prompt, courteous, keep the area clean, and their bid was very competitive. Since first hiring Ben I’ve recommended him to several friends and clients and am on his books for two more personal painting projects, a duplex and a house. I would highly recommend Ben and his crew for any paint project that you have."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

Oxygen bleach uses hydrogen peroxide as a base and won’t harm wood when using it as a cleaner. On the other hand, chlorine bleach breaks down wood at the cellular level and causes irreversible harm. Although you may not see immediate damage to wood after exposing it to chlorine bleach, its strength and integrity are now compromised.

A wood deck requires annual cleaning and regular inspections for loose or broken boards, nails, and screws. It should be refinished by applying a stain or sealer every two to three years to protect the wood from water damage, rot, mildew, and sun fading. The exact frequency can depend on the climate and the deck's exposure to sun and moisture. If your deck is painted, it will need repainting approximately every 10 years. Signs that your deck needs refinishing include faded, splintering, or warping boards.

Deciding whether to stain or paint a pool deck depends on your budget, desired look, and the deck's material. Both options can work. Paint offers a wider variety of color options, provides excellent water resistance, and can last longer. However, it requires a primer and can eventually fade or peel. Stain is often cheaper, easier to apply, and penetrates the wood for a more natural look and longer-lasting finish. It also has great water resistance. The downsides are fewer color options and the need for a sealant. The choice can also depend on the deck material; for example, staining may be a better option for concrete as it bonds well and lasts longer than paint.

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.
