"My experience with JD Hostetter was terrific--from scheduling the estimate to working with staff and crew to wrapping up at the end. My three-story house is in a historic district, and we used three colors on the body and one on the porch ceiling. It was a big job, which they got done in a week. Working as a team, the crew worked hard and did beautiful work. They were professional, careful, responsive, and easy to work with. JD Hostetter provided an incredible home improvement experience. When I need interior painting, I will definitely call them."

"They rebuilt a large deck for us. They were very professional and did a nice job. We also hired to replace water lines and water heater. They are in the process of remodeling a bathroom also."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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. 

Costs depend on coating type, labor, site preparation, and required finishes.

Wood stain is not flammable after it dries. The solvent in wood stain is what causes the liquid form to be highly flammable, but the stain drying process involves the solvents dissolving, which leaves behind a non-flammable product on your wood project. Wood stain is, however, flammable before you apply it, so you should always store partially full cans and used wood stain rags away from sources of heat and open flames.

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.

An exterior paint job typically lasts between 5 and 10 years, though this can range from 3 to 17 years depending on several factors. The longevity is influenced by the quality of the paint and primer, the quality of the application, the local climate, and the type of surface being painted. For example, paint on wood siding may need to be redone every 3 to 7 years, while painted brick can last up to 17 years. Aluminum siding often needs repainting every 5 years.
