"Simply put, it went great!  The enthusiasm of Danny & his crew frankly made me want to have more work done.  In fact, I already have him scheduled for the Spring to completely refinish & paint/stain the deck & other painting outside.  Thanks again Danny for a job well done & on time!!!

"Fantastic! The men from JD Hostetter came out sooner than expected to take care of our badly peeling deck. They removed the patio furniture, pressure washed - came back a few days later to sand and scrape the deck before painting. The crew was polite, prompt, professional - it was a job well done!"

"Paintco made my project a very positive experience for me. Matt was very helpful with details of setting it up . The on-site crew was professional, courteous, and efficient. I especially appreciated their work ethic. They painted siding as well as replaced boards and stained the deck of my home. I was very pleased with the finished product and would certainly hire the company again"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.

For homes in areas with extreme weather, high heat, or intense sun exposure, high-quality acrylic paint is the best option. Acrylic paint is durable, resistant to both heat and cold, and provides a protective barrier with excellent UV resistance. For best results, look for acrylics that contain natural earth pigments, which are better suited for resisting sun damage. While oil-based paint is also durable, it can be prone to fading in high heat and can become too viscous to apply easily in cold temperatures. Additionally, choosing a neutral or light color like gray, beige, or white can help, as these colors absorb less heat than darker shades.

Aftercare includes routine cleaning, checking for water repellency, and promptly addressing any chips or peels, maintaining the deck's appearance and functionality.

You’ll want to avoid excessively hot or humid conditions, so it’s best to apply your stain in late spring to early fall. It's also important to watch the weather forecast and aim for days when there isn’t rain expected for at least three days. For new decks, allow the wood to season beforehand for at least four to eight weeks.

You don't need to seal your deck after painting it because most exterior paints are waterproof and weather-resistant. While stealing is not necessary, it can add an additional layer of protection.
