Q: Do I need to clean my deck before staining?

• <div><p>Yes, you need to thoroughly clean the deck surface before <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-stain-a-deck.htm">staining your deck</a>. Dirt, debris, and mildew can settle on the surface of your wood. If you do not properly clean it, these stains will get trapped between the wood and the stain. Not only does this present an unsightly surface, but your wood will only partially be protected by the stain, meaning you'll need to stain again sooner.</p></div>

Q: When is the best time to paint a deck?

• <div><p>The best time to paint your deck is when temperatures are neither too cold (below 60 degrees) nor too hot (above 85 degrees). Always paint your deck when there&rsquo;s no risk of rain. For fast-drying paint like acrylic or latex, ensure your deck can dry for at least four hours. Oil-based paints take longer to dry and may require 48 hours to completely cure.</p></div>

Q: How many coats of stain should you put on cedar?

• <div><p>The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won&rsquo;t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain. </p></div>

Q: How long does exterior paint last?

• <div><p>Many types of exterior paint last <b>five to 10 years</b>. Factors that determine exterior paint&rsquo;s lifespan include the type of paint, type of siding, climate, and the quality of the primer and paint. For example, wood siding will require a fresh coat of paint more frequently than paint on brick.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to sand a deck before repainting?

• <div><p>Always sand a deck before repainting so the wood is smooth and ready for paint. While you do not need to fully remove paint before repainting, sanding helps remove any areas with weather and sun damage. Sanding also helps remove chipped or flaking paint and opens the wood pores to improve paint adhesion.</p></div>

Absolutely NOT. Dan and his crew started our deck demolition June 8 and we let him go on July 22 (deck was still unfinished). If you want to hire this company, that is your decision, we CAN NOT in good faith recommend this company to anyone ever.

We were told that the project would take about ten days to complete. It took about a month. It looks like he starts a job promptly but takes on many other projects and abandons some to work on others. The crew did not clean up after themselves and we had to point out things that had been left...
