"Great! The crew came early in the morning and left early in the evening, working in mid-40's degree temperatures. Although they have another days work to do, the porch already looks phenomenal and the front door frame is so much better than it was."

"Lighthouse Painting just finished painting our home. The crew did a wonderful job, making sure each phase was done completely before moving on. We changed colors and after the two coats of stain, there are none of the old colors to be seen. Highly recommend them to others. The crew was easy to work with and put in full days on the job."

"I have used Northern Ridge to paint the exterior of my house, stain my deck and different parts of the interior on 2 separate occasions. The key difference for Northern Ridge is the attention to the prep work which makes all the difference for a job that will last and look good longer. The team was polite, friendly and always respectful of our needs. They always ended the day with a good clean up so our lives are least affected while the job was in progress."

"Jeremy and his crew were great! Personable yet professional. The job took a little longer due to more subfloor damage than expected. The end result… perfection! I will definitely hire ACQ Home Improvement again, and gladly recommend them to my friends and clients."

"Diego and his crew did an absolutely fabulous job. He checked in regularly with us before starting the job, painted sample colors on our shingles for us to see them in place and power washed the house before starting painting. They took meticulous care, caulking, sanding weathered shingles and repairing a rotted window sill. The price was very reasonable. Diego is outstandingly gracious and personable. We couldn't be happier with the job. We've worked with many contractors over the years we've had our old house, and this was the most favorable experience yet. We highly highly recommend Vallen Pro Painters!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Hiring a contractor or professional deck refinisher is the best way to ensure your deck is properly stained. They have the expertise, tools, and supplies to do the job quickly and efficiently. However, staining a deck is a manageable task for most homeowners, and doing the job yourself can save money. Just keep in mind that DIY staining is a long process requiring physical strain, so it may not be the best option for everyone.

The best temperature to paint a pool deck is between 50 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit, because many paints and sealers require temperatures warm enough for the chemical reaction to take place for proper curing. The paint should not be allowed to freeze, and temperatures above 90 degrees can cause the paint to dry too quickly, also preventing the chemical reaction from following through to completion.

Always wait until the morning dew has dried before you stain your deck. The stain needs a fully dry surface to sink into.

Yes, staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan, typically by five to 10 years. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and rot over time. Applying a treatment creates a protective shield that helps prevent splintering, fading, and decay, preserving the wood's strength and appearance. A combination stain and sealer often provides the best protection, as it soaks into the wood grain rather than just sitting on top. This offers superior defense against UV damage and rot and lasts longer than a sealer alone. To maintain the wood's natural look, consider using a near-translucent stain. You should plan to reapply the stain or sealer every two to three years.

There are deck restoration products and oil-based wood stains that can help bring back some of the color and shine to your faded Trex decking. However, if your boards are suffering from serious fading due to UV rays or chemical cleaning products, don’t expect miracles. Also, these products are only suitable for use on the older Trex boards, not the capped, second-generation Trex products.
