"I really enjoyed having this company do my project which was a deck and new door installation. Job was complete in a timely manner. They are a professional team of solid workers and super friendly. I rehired them to install a yard gate that had collapsed. Both jobs look superb!"

"The exterior of our house was in terrible shape because the last people who stained it did such a bad job. Bee Painting spent a ton of time in the "prep" phase: power washing, sanding, patching, etc. (they even picked up all the paint chips). They replaced some rotting wood and even removed old/unused intercom panels and patched-in new cedar where they had been. Two coats of primer and one coat of stain and the house looks amazing! Bee Painting did a great job and we will use them again for sure."

"We couldn't be happier with the job! From start to finish, Pedro and his team were professional, reliable, and incredibly detail-oriented. They took the time to properly prepare every surface, kept the work area clean, and delivered a flawless finish. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process, and everything was completed on time and within budget. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a skilled, honest, and dependable painter. We would absolutely hire them again!"

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, professionals offer slip-resistant options for added workplace safety.

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. 

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

Hiring a contractor or professional deck refinisher is the best way to ensure your deck is properly stained. They have the expertise, tools, and supplies to do the job quickly and efficiently. However, staining a deck is a manageable task for most homeowners, and doing the job yourself can save money. Just keep in mind that DIY staining is a long process requiring physical strain, so it may not be the best option for everyone.
