"I am satisfied with the finished work and the outstanding customer service. I am impressed with the time and effort that went into preparing the deck for staining and the protective measures taken to not get the stain on surrounding areas. I liked receiving explanations on how the project would be addressed including changes from first thoughts."

"Miguel’s Team painting services was truly exceptional. We initially hired Miguel to paint our kitchen cabinets from their original wood stain to a dark forest green. Our cabinet colors came out great, and the service was reasonably priced.  Miguel’s Team did such an excellent job that we also hired them to repaint our entire house."

"Stan and his team are just "Outstanding". On time to job and worked to schedule for completion . Their attention to detail and prep and staining was as good as I have every seen. His bid for services was very competitive. I just can not say enough about his power washing of my home, gutters, deck and gazebo and the subsequent re-staining of my deck and gazebo. I not only recommend Stan's Home Improvements to others I look forward to contracting with him for other services myself. One Happy Camper!"

"My husband and I hired Plomariâ s crew to power wash, repair and stain our deck, stain the backyard fence and level our ceiling. The two-men team worked tirelessly over the course of four days and brought everything in perfect shape! Our deck looks brand new, the backyard fence is well preserved and the ceiling looks perfect! This is the second time weâ ve hired Plomari and weâ ll definitely work with them again. Super-tidy, hardworking and respectful workers and reasonable pricing for a solid service! Highly recommend them!"

"Spiro and Dionysius had previously power washed the exterior of my home prior to painting. Because they did an excellent job I asked them to also wash the bluestone. I had been reluctant to wash this area because bluestone is soft and can be easily damaged. I was delighted at the care they took. The area looks great.

"After some initial frustration with the estimator failing to get back to me regarding a breakdown of the work to be done, the owner really stepped up. First, he agreed to give us a “painter for a day.” Second, after we agreed to have Sheldon/Sons do the work, they worked closely with us as the project needed substantial revisions. After stripping/powerwashing the deck, it was determined that the deck was made with mahogany, a rare and expensive wood for decks. Rather than simply proceeding with application of the solid stain we originally requested, Scott Sheldon had his Sherwin Williams rep come out to determine the best option for refinishing the deck. And then Scott came to meet with us personally to discuss our options. We ended up using an Exotic Hardwood stain for the boards and rail caps. And after some steady rains kept the workers away for a few days, they got the project done promptly once the weather cleared. We are very thrilled with the outcome!"

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

A five-gallon bucket of deck stain will cover roughly 875 square feet in a single coat. Actual coverage will vary based on the type of wood you’re staining and the number of coats. If you plan on doing multiple coats, multiply the square footage by the number of coats to calculate how many buckets of stain you’ll need.

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.

A concrete overlay is often the most cost-effective way to resurface a pool deck. To do this, you’ll need to pour a thin layer of concrete over the existing pool deck, which you can customize by stamping or painting. A stamped concrete overlay provides additional traction on a pool deck that can help minimize the risk of people slipping and falling.

Yes, many repair services include repainting to match the color of the existing siding or walls. Most professionals offer this service to ensure the repaired area blends in seamlessly.

You can refresh a painted deck by either giving it a thorough cleaning or refinishing the deck altogether. Chipped or faded paint, as well as extensive damage, often calls for a new finish. To do this, remove the original coat of paint with a sander and add either a new coat of paint or a stain to protect the wood below.
