"Had Melin out for an estimate on a Sunday. Ended up adding my garage door and deck to the estimate because i found their prices to be very reasonable. I hired them that day and they were able to complete the job within that same week. They even sent me text updates of the progress while I was at work. Very happy with the results. I would hire them again and have already recommended them to friends and family."

"Paul and his team did an outstanding job painting the exterior of C.C. Veterinary Hospital! From start to finish, Paul was professional, communicative, and incredibly easy to work with. His two-man crew was efficient and detail-oriented—they completed our entire building, including all of the doors, in just two and a half days. We especially appreciated how considerate they were of our business operations. They made every effort to complete as much of the work as possible outside of our business hours, which helped minimize any disruption for our clients, patients, and staff. The finished product looks fantastic, and we couldn't be happier with the results. If you're looking for a reliable, hardworking exterior painting company, we highly recommend Paul and his team!"

"The customer service is excellent! Tyler contacted me regarding my request on Angi within an hour of filling out my request. He ran by my house, after asking if it was ok to do so, to look at what needed to be done. He had a very professional written estimate to me that same afternoon. He worked with my schedule to get the job done. Koby was out and power washed my house, pergola and Adirondack chairs this morning. He did an excellent job. Everything looks so nice, clean and ready for summer. Very satisfied with my experience with Under Pressure 260 LLC! I would definitely use them again!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

Yes, you must thoroughly clean your deck before staining. If you don't, dirt, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped between the wood and the new stain. This not only looks unsightly but also prevents the stain from penetrating the wood properly, reducing its ability to protect the deck from weather and UV rays. As a result, the stain won't last as long or look as good. Any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage. Always wait at least 48 hours after cleaning for the wood to dry completely before applying stain.

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place.
