"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

When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.

A concrete overlay is often the most cost-effective way to resurface a pool deck. To do this, you’ll need to pour a thin layer of concrete over the existing pool deck, which you can customize by stamping or painting. A stamped concrete overlay provides additional traction on a pool deck that can help minimize the risk of people slipping and falling.

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.

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. 

The best way to protect a deck is to prevent damage from UV light, water, mold, mildew, insects, and abrasive cleaning methods. Sweep regularly to prevent debris that hides bugs and traps moisture that can result in mold or mildew growth. Use a deck cleaner once a year to remove algae, mold, and mildew. Avoid using pressure washers on high, as they can damage the wood. Applying a deck sealant can protect the wood from UV and water damage, and adding shade can also reduce sunlight damage.
