"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."

"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."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.

Choose based on climate, finish preference (glossy, matte), and durability. Tailored coatings also provide longevity.

If your biggest concern is making sure your deck doesn’t show dirt, opt for a darker neutral color that blends in well with your surrounding landscape. A rich brown or dark grey are both good options that work with a variety of house colors. A high-quality acrylic paint is easy to clean and maintain, so it might be worth spending the money on.

For homes in areas with extreme weather, high heat, or intense sun exposure, high-quality acrylic paint is the best option. Acrylic paint is durable, resistant to both heat and cold, and provides a protective barrier with excellent UV resistance. For best results, look for acrylics that contain natural earth pigments, which are better suited for resisting sun damage. While oil-based paint is also durable, it can be prone to fading in high heat and can become too viscous to apply easily in cold temperatures. Additionally, choosing a neutral or light color like gray, beige, or white can help, as these colors absorb less heat than darker shades.

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.
