"I chose Precise Painting and Restoration out of four other painters I had over because Juan ensured me he could replace the few rotten siding pieces I had on my house. That was valuable to me because I didn't have to find a separate contractor to do the work. During the repair and painting project, Juan would let me know what he was going to work on and gave me updates during the day. Juan and his whole crew were very professional and hard working. My house looks absolutely beautiful!"

"Excellent from the detailed proposal to the complete cleanup. Derek and crew was professional, prepared, easy to work with, quick and quiet doing the ceiling repairs and fixing ceiling and wall stains, matching paint, and just excellent in all work. They moved the heavy China cabinet, covered all items with taping and plastic and drop cloths. They even shook out the drop cloths outside make certain they were clean."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

While the answer varies based on weather, 10 a.m. is a good time to start painting. The dew will have dried, meaning there’s no moisture on the house, and the temperature will likely be moderate and the sunlight less direct. Starting mid-morning should also give you enough daylight and pleasant weather to work on the job for several hours.

You can refresh a painted deck by either giving it a thorough cleaning or refinishing the deck altogether. Chipped or faded paint, as well as extensive damage, often calls for a new finish. To do this, remove the original coat of paint with a sander and add either a new coat of paint or a stain to protect the wood below.

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. 

Hot, intense sunshine can cause your stain to dry too quickly, which could lead it to look uneven or patchy. If you’re staining the deck during hotter months, it’s best to do it in the morning or evening once the wood has had time to cool down. If you’re staining in cooler weather with less sunshine, the time of day won’t make as much of a difference.

It's okay to walk on a newly painted deck after about four to six hours as long as the weather has been dry. Be sure to wait at least 24 hours before you place any outdoor furniture or grills on a freshly painted deck, though.
