"I COULD NOT POSSIBLY BE ANY HAPPIER WITH HOW WONDERFUL THE HOUSE LOOKS! MARIO AND HIS CREW TAKE GREAT PRIDE IN DOING AN EXCELLENT JOB AND WORKED WITH ME EVERY STEP OF THE WAY TO MAKE SURE THE END RESULT WAS WHAT I WANTED. HONESTLY THE FAUX WORK MARIO DID IS EVEN BETTER THAT I HAD HOPED FOR. MARIO, ED AND JAY ARE ALL VERY PROMPT, HARD WORKERS, ALWAYS POLITE AND VERY HELPFUL WITH SUGGESTIONS. THEY ALWAYS CLEANED UP BEFORE LEAVING FOR THE DAY, AND BY STARTING IN THE FAMILY ROOM MADE SURE THAT THEY DISRUPTED OUR HOME LIFE AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE. MARIO TAKES GREAT PRIDE IN FINISHING A JOB ON TIME, AND THE ONLY REASON THEY NEEDED AN EXTRA DAY IS BECAUSE I MADE MY REQUEST TO FAUX THE FRONT HALL (IN METALLIC PAINT, IT LOOKS FANTASTIC!!) AFTER THEY HAD ALREADY STARTED TO WORK. I WILL DEFINITELY USE THEM FOR MY PAINTING NEEDS IN THE FUTURE, AND AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE WHO WANTS ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND EXCELLENT FAUX WORK DONE."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

The plastic in composite decking boards protects them enough that you do not need to paint them to prevent warping. In fact, painting composite decking voids the warranty of some manufacturers. Painting can also increase maintenance on the deck, as you must paint regularly to keep it looking its best.

DIY is possible but presents risks of uneven surfaces or improper adhesion; professionals offer expertise to ensure a lasting finish.

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must.
