"Ten Home provided quality repairs, over the top service, excellent response time and accurate cost estimate. The owner kept us updated as to what was done each day and what to expect next. Once the repairs were completed, Ten Home did more than we expected with the deck cleaning and staining. Our deck looks new again and will be good to go for many years. This was so much more cost effective than replacing the deck with composite material and it looks beautiful. I am already looking to Ten Home for my next house project as they do most any type of house repairs. I highly recommend Ten Home."

"Derek and his team painted my home in 2008. They just completed painting my home again, today. They do an excellent job, very professional from the start to the finish! They completed the painting in a timely manner. My husband and I are very pleased with their work. My home feels new again! I would highly recommend Dr. Paint!"

"In completing the siding, repair and restoration of my 1897 Frame 2- flat Fortune Restoration exceeded my expectations. Their carpenters and painters are consulate professionals. Pete, Dan and Jose were a pleasure to work with. My building is not only historically accurate in the materials used but it virtually matches photos and drawings from old house books I used as a reference. This wall was stripped of all siding and trim - all that was left was the framing wood. The final product included re-siding the front wall with cedar (shakes and clapboard, window trim, repairing columns and rebuilding a balcony and porch. Finally painting decking, foundation, siding and trim in historical colors matching a historic photo I provided."

"We absolutely love Luis's professionalism, kindness, and honesty. When Luis approached me on Angi, to be honest, I was not sure, simply how little review he has. But like any great business or profile, it needs to start somewhere.... and I am so glad we hired Luis to paint and stain our deck. When we were getting estimates, many people have given all kind of estimates. Some will only do one coat, some won't even sand for us. But Luis came in with saying he would do everything with a very competitive price. Besides, everything that he shared with us about how to treat the wood or types of paint is on point (I did my own research too). Last but most importantly, Luis is not pushy at all, he provide his professional opinion and lets you decide! So glad we found Luis, and we are already talking about using him again for our fence. Bot side of our neighbor were so impress with our 'new' deck and want to engage Luis too."

"Miguel was quick to respond with an estimate which turned out to be the one I chose. When the weather finally turned favorable to do the work he started with a power wash.A few days later he came back with a crew, sanded the deck and applied two coats of Sherwin Williams stain. He finished the project in one day. My deck is approximately 800 sq. Ft. He provided excellent service and quality workmanship."

"I had rainwater coming in through a door and window frame. Dario and Juan knew right away that the problem was coming from where my deck meets the siding. They removed deck boards to discover a gap in the siding. Checked for water damage (thankfully no damage). Sealed the gap. I have not had any rainwater issues since. Price was totally reasonable. We discussed other future repairs/projects for my home and I look forward to working with them again."

"I really enjoyed having this company do my project which was a deck and new door installation. Job was complete in a timely manner. They are a professional team of solid workers and super friendly. I rehired them to install a yard gate that had collapsed. Both jobs look superb!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.

If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood’s grain for best results.

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.

Satin paint is generally considered a better choice for woodwork—including trim, baseboards, cabinets, and doors—than flatter finishes like eggshell or matte. Its soft sheen enhances architectural details and stands up well to frequent cleaning and daily wear. Compared to eggshell and matte finishes, satin is more durable for high-touch areas because it is less porous and doesn't absorb dirt as easily. Matte finishes, in particular, are prone to scuffs and are harder to clean, making them less practical for surfaces like doors and cabinets.
