"I hired Mike in May of 2024 to tear down and then re-build a two level deck. Mike advised that they would start the project in July. On July 2 he advised that JULIE would come out and that work would commence on July 22. No one showed on July 22 at which time I outreached to him and he said that they were behind on another job and would not be able to start for a few more weeks. At this point i had moved all the patio furniture and outdoor stuff off my deck, which was frustrating. The work didn't start until mid-August. We had expected this to be a two week job and to use the yard for a memorial service we were having but the deck took until February to complete- nearly 6 months. During that time he failed two deck inspections, his guys hit a gas line and there was a rotation of workers here, none of whom seemed to really know what they were doing. We used the upper deck about 4 times before our latch fell off the gate. He has not fixed the problem."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

It depends on the size of the surface. If you’re covering a large area, a paint roller will allow you to stain the entire surface in much less time. Paint rollers also offer the advantage of creating a smoother, more even coat. However, they’re not as practical for smaller surfaces such as banisters, spindles, and crevices—for these, opt for a paintbrush, paint mitt, or lint-free rag instead.

You’ll need to wait until the surface is completely dry, which can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours under optimal conditions. The waiting period depends on several factors, including the type of siding and the weather conditions. Trying to paint before the surface is completely dry can trap moisture under the paint, leading to bubbling, blistering, and mold growth.

The opposite is actually true: Wood stains tend to appear lighter when they’re fully dry. However, stains may darken as they weather and oxidize with age. Stains might also darken on surfaces left in direct sunlight, as UV rays can break down pigment particles and cause them to darken over time.

It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the deck refinishing process. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.

You don't need to seal your deck after painting it because most exterior paints are waterproof and weather-resistant. While stealing is not necessary, it can add an additional layer of protection.
