"Angel and his crew stained my cedar fence June 2024. The job looked great a year later except for the gate for some reason. I called Angel and he came back and stained the gate again at no charge. It looks fantastic. I highly recommend this company for fence staining because they stand behind their work and do a good job. They also communicate very well with updates as to their arrival to do a job."

"Ten Home provided quality repairs, over the top service, excellent response time and accurate cost estimate. The owner kept us updated as to what was done each day and what to expect next. Once the repairs were completed, Ten Home did more than we expected with the deck cleaning and staining. Our deck looks new again and will be good to go for many years. This was so much more cost effective than replacing the deck with composite material and it looks beautiful. I am already looking to Ten Home for my next house project as they do most any type of house repairs. I highly recommend Ten Home."

"The work was performed to my satisfaction - it was meticulously done and I felt that they did not rush the job. They came on at least 3 occasions to put the layers of stain and the final polyurethane coat. They even found that the top of my front door wood trim had never ben stained and they offered to stain it for free. They are courteous, professional and clean up their tools and supplies before they leave for the day. Highly recommend this painter."

"Ray and his team delivered as promised for one day project completed in about 1/2 day (amazing!). They completed the ceiling painting project of 1st floor, tall hallway, and 2nd floor landing in record time. Two coat application, repair for condensation leak, plastering/hand sanding to smooth out shadows from overhead joists/2nd floor. Ceiling is nice and smooth. Prep work was incredible; plastic sheeting everywhere. Final review to touch up a few spots prior to payment. Cleaned up area. Two-year warranty should there be a reemergence of stains covered with ProBlocker. Other contractors vetted would require 2-days, no or 1 year warranty, and in many cases only provide one coat of paint for higher price. Ray visited at start to prep Felix and the crew on finer details. Ended up costing less than originally quoted; no excess materials."

"I was so impressed by the work done by Sharp Edge. Their work was excellent, they were respectful of me and my home, they were quick, and their price was fair and reasonable. The work they did was neat, and they put everything back when they were. They cleaned up after the work was done. I am very pleased with them!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.

Beyond liquid rubber, homeowners can use sealants, stains, membranes, or tapes as waterproofing options. Oil-based or water-based sealants soak into the wood, creating a moisture-resistant barrier. Waterproofing stains—available in transparent, semi-transparent, and solid colors—add both protection and style to your deck. For heavy-duty waterproofing, deck membranes and waterproof tapes can be applied under the deck boards to direct water away from the structure below. Whatever method you choose, clean and prep the deck first to ensure the best, longest-lasting results.

For the longest-lasting exterior paint, consider acrylic or enamel (oil-based) paints. Acrylic paints, including acrylic latex and acrylic enamel, are known for withstanding harsh weather and sun exposure. Enamel-based paints are also one of the most durable options available. While latex paint is common, it typically has a shorter lifespan than acrylic or oil-based options. The paint's finish also affects its durability; a higher gloss finish is generally more durable. For resistance to moisture and cracking, matte and satin finishes can be effective, while a high-gloss acrylic or oil-based paint offers a combination of maximum longevity and durability.
