"MQ Painting was very professional in every aspect of the work they completed for us. They power washed every surface prior to painting. All surfaces were sanded or scraped as needed. Two coats of stain we applied to all surfaces. The garage doors were stripped, stained and varnished. The deck railings were completely replaced and painted on a very large deck. Originally, Jose thought only a portion of the railing spindles needed to be replaced. As the job proceeded it was apparent that all spindles and railing wood needed to be replaced. The only additional charge was for the materials, not for labor even though every spindle needed to be individually cut from larger pieces of lumber. MQ was the only painting contractor who bid on our paint job who was willing to do all the woodwork repairs needed on the deck. Other contractors said we'd need to have someone repair the deck and then they would paint it. We appreciated working with just one contractor. Their painting and carpentry work was top notch. All workers were neat, punctual and conscientious. All materials and tools were picked up and stored at the end of every work day. I discovered MQ Painting through Angie's List. I highly recommend MQ Painting and would absolutely hire them again."

"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."

"Patrick was very amenable to my requests and agreed to use an ecofriendly product at my request. His firm is EPA certified for Pb paint work. He was very easy to work with, easy to contact, and his bid came in much lower than other businesses. His crew did extra carpentry work to fix my deck, and the charge was negligible. His painters were very pleasant (Tony was the crew leader) and also extremely customer friendly. I highly recommend this business."

"Adelmo and his crew were fantastic. We hired them to build a pergola on our roof deck as well as re-stain the existing wood from a red paint to a more natural wood stain. The quality of their work is amazing. You can't even see the old red paint and the pergola turned out exactly as we imagined. Adelmo did a great job communicating the step by step process throughout the project. I would definitely hire them again for any future projects."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can waterproof any wood that has not already been treated. A good way to test this is to splash some water on it. If the water starts to bead up, the wood is treated and most likely doesn’t need another coating.

You don’t necessarily have to remove all the old paint before repainting your deck, but it’s best to remove as much as possible to ensure a smooth and long-lasting finish. Prioritize scraping off loose, peeling, or flaking paint, and sand down rough areas to create a smooth surface for the new paint to bond with.

It’s often best to spray on deck sealer. Sprayers can apply sealant more quickly and evenly than rolling while still enabling you to reach tight spaces. When using a sprayer, always use a low-pressure setting at a close distance to ensure an even application. Avoid using sprayers on windy days.

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.

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must.
