"Derrick arrived on time to assess the deck. He was very professional, personable, and accommodating. Our deck was in tough shape but he worked with us to stay within our budget and still not cut any corners. We were more than pleased with his work and being very punctual ."

"Anderson and his crew were very meticulous with great attention to detail. The exterior staining was a difficult project as my home had not been stained in many years and many shingles had to be replaced. His shingling crew did a fantastic job and the house looks awesome. Anderson checked on the work almost daily and he made sure that we were happy with the results. My husband and I would highly recommend Anderson and Sons Painting for any home project."

Customers say: Quick response

"All team members (3-5 per day) were on time, respectful of my property, did excellent work, and the cleanup was exactly what I expected. The price was somewhat higher than other companies, but it was important to me to have the work done reasonably quickly, so the team approach was definitely worth it. The owner was actively involved and very willing to help me with advice on color choices and other smaller repair issues. I was so pleased with the company and level of service that I also contracted for hardwood floor refinishing, and have referred two sisters and several friends to Cape Cod Fine Finishes for their painting needs."

"My house is on cape cod bay and takes a beating with wind and salt air. . The house is a rather large 2 story home with many peaks. I have used Certa Pro many times over the years for painting of house, decks and interior. Joe and Kathy are tremendous to work with. They do a great job in maintaining the house for me. They are highly reliable and tremendous to work with."

"Jeff and his team were very professional: always polite and the project was finished in good time. They replaced my wooden deck and steps with AZAK materials as well as the trim around several window. Jeff also gave me good advice on inside duct cleaning and helped me to hire a firm to complete this. I will hire him and his workers again."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

It’s necessary for paint to completely dry before exposure to rain, and that drying time varies by the type of paint used. Oil-based paint takes 6 to 8 hours to dry on average, meaning that’s the minimum time needed between the last brush stroke and the first raindrop. Latex paint dries faster at around 1 hour, and acrylic paint is even quicker, usually drying in about 30 minutes. If rain is in the forecast, check the paint manufacturer's details before laying on a new coat. 

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.

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

Rags used with oil-based stains are highly flammable and can spontaneously combust in the right conditions. To reduce the fire risk, throw them in a metal container after use and add rocks on top to secure them. Add an inch of water and seal the container. Take the rags in the container to a hazardous waste factory as soon as possible.

DIY is possible but presents risks of uneven surfaces or improper adhesion; professionals offer expertise to ensure a lasting finish.
