"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."

"My daughter found Alex and referred him to us for an interior house painting project. The job included painting the ceilings and walls in three bedrooms, changing all the window trim from black to white, and repainting the basement ceiling, walls, closet door, and the inside of the shelves from black to white. The project was completed in three and a half days, exactly as outlined in the contract agreement. The quality of the painting work was very good, and we are happy with the results. The only issue was that one item was accidentally left out of the contract. However, once I pointed it out to Alex, he immediately agreed to take care of it. Overall, we had a positive experience and appreciated his willingness to make things right."

"Ismael came out to give me a quote for my large deck resealing. He explained the difference with certain stains and how long they will last on a deck like mine, no trees and the sun just beats down on it in the afternoon. He and his crew (2 others) showed up at the time discussed, and finished the job in a timely manner. Very professional and will hire him again in the future."

"Alex was incredibly friendly, and super easy to work with. He was able to help me with flooring and some other projects around the house in addition to the excellent paint job in my basement. I will 100% be calling Splash Works for any other jobs I have in the future. Thanks Alex and Cisco!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage. 

Yes, it is important to wash your deck before painting to ensure the paint applies well and adheres properly. While you don't have to use a pressure washer, it is one of the most efficient cleaning methods. Pressure washing can quickly remove dirt, wood fibers, and flaked paint, getting deeper into the wood than manual scrubbing. You can also clean the deck with a stiff broom and a cleaning solution. Regardless of the method, a clean surface is essential for good paint adhesion. Make sure the deck is completely dry before applying any paint.

Ideally, it's best to stain your dock once per year. Applying stain doesn't just keep it looking nice and new; it also helps extend the dock’s lifespan. Since you want to ensure water levels are at their lowest, it's best to have this project done by a professional dock repair service in the cooler autumn or early winter months. 

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.

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.
