"Jose and his team were great. Very professional and friendly, and the newly stained deck looks awesome. They pressure washed one day and came back to sand and put two coats on in one day. We’ll see how it holds up but I feel good about it."

"I've used Fortune Restoration in the past when I managed condominium buildings. After seeing the cedar siding work they did on a friend's house I decided to call Tom Fortune for my own residence. Tom took the time to listen and called his lead carpenter to discuss the various siding and trim options. He was able to write the estimate on the spot. They started quickly and there were no delays once they began. Their crews were communicative and professional. Tom also stopped by regularly to inspect the workmanship and make sure I was satisfied. Fortune removed the existing metal siding on the house, replaced the soffit and fascia with PVC which was quite labor intensive, sided the gable ends and small front dormer with cedar, stained the new cedar, and painted all the new trim and exterior windows. They left the area in very good condition. I'm very pleased with their responsiveness and quality of the work and recommend them without reservation."

"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."

"After taking a number of bids, I decided to go with Yolis C Painting. All positive reviews are well merited. We had him do some interior painting and the walls look like new. Outside trim: Admittingly, some of the old paint was chipping, but what we did not anticipate was that much of the wood had begun showing signs of rot (we own the house for 40 years). He repaired and painted it. If looking for fair pricing, professionalism, and detail orientated, they are the ones for you!"

"After writing a review regarding my concerns, I was immediately contacted by the owner to resolve my issues and make it right. He sincerely apologized for any issues and even offered to come back for a specific issue. Georgios is very attentive and I appreciate his efforts in addressing my concerns. His team arrived on time and finished on time as promised. They did a fine job in painting, I would highly recommend them for their workmanship and professionalism."

"We are super happy with Big League Painting of River Forest and Alex in particular. I think the best way to say it is Alex really cares. I had contacted multiple painting companies for quotes. Alex responded quickly and offered to come by to give me a quote. Some companies just take the room dimensions but Alex walked around and carefully looked at what might need multiple coats, what repairs/patching might be required. He even recorded a video of our conversation to make sure all points would be addressed. Within hours, we had a very competitive quote. He gave me some options to include or not include some things to keep within my budget. After a quick phone call, I signed and paid our 25% deposit the next morning. Big League has multiple teams and they sent out a team of 3 to paint our entire interior (ceiling, walls and trim) and exterior trim within two weeks. Each day the same team showed up on time, was very professional and cleaned up at the end of the day. Alex personally stopped by almost everyday of the project to make sure things were going to my satisfaction. As we had just moved into the neighborhood, Alex went above and beyond and offered recommendations of location businesses as he grew up in the area. We were so impressed that we decided to add some additional work to repair and stain our back deck. Again we got a competitively priced quote and 'at cost' for lumber. They team ended up replacing a lot of boards and staining our deck. Needless to say, the interior / exterior / staining project was large and took a little time to complete. Any small areas that I wanted touching up inside were and outside are being addressed (subject to not raining). We are planning on using them in the near future once we do some construction work."

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.

Rags used with oil-based stains are highly flammable and can spontaneously combust in the right conditions. To reduce the fire risk, throw them in a metal container after use and add rocks on top to secure them. Add an inch of water and seal the container. Take the rags in the container to a hazardous waste factory as soon as possible.

While the answer varies based on weather, 10 a.m. is a good time to start painting. The dew will have dried, meaning there’s no moisture on the house, and the temperature will likely be moderate and the sunlight less direct. Starting mid-morning should also give you enough daylight and pleasant weather to work on the job for several hours.

If you have wood decking, there are several common deck problems that you might encounter. For example, your natural wood boards may fade over time due to things like sunlight, weather, and debris. On top of that, some types of wood decking can rot, grow mold, and attract destructive pests—including termites, carpenter ants, and woodpeckers.

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for.
