"The company did an excellent job scheduling a date for my exterior house painting and they also worked with me to resolve an issue I had with the project's final cost. The office staff is very professional and pleasant. I might have given a higher rating, but my experience with the crew was not what I had expected given the great reviews I read from other customers. I was disappointed with the crew that was sent to paint my house. They arrived about an hour late. I was able to communicate with only one person on the crew as the other members did not speak english. The only english-speaking member left the job for several hours to pick up composite sheets to replace wood panels. During this time I noticed that the painters did not place drop cloths on my deck or on two lower roofs. As a result, paint was dripping onto my deck and the lower roofs. I had to search for a foreign language translation app on my cell phone so I could communicate with the crew to tell them to use drop cloths as well as to explain a few other issues and concerns. Frustrated, I contacted Chesapeake Painting to complain and a manger was sent to my home. The manager arrived about the same time the crew member returned from picking up the composite. The manager apologized to me about the problems and he spoke with the crew member about my concerns and the painting job in general. After the job was complete, the next day I noticed areas that needed more paint and the company came back to apply more paint. However, a couple of days later, I noticed the same area still needed more paint or sanding. There were also areas where I eventually noticed where the work detail could be better. In fairness, I didn't call the company back to resolve as I just wanted to move on. The overall paint job was good. Would I hire Chesapeake Painting again? I'm not certain. Maybe this crew had a bad day at the office as we all sometimes do. But if I decide to hire the company again to paint the interior of my home, I would need a different crew or the crew(s) that received the excellent work reviews."

"I had a great experience with Miguel Team LLC. for my deck staining project. The team was professional, punctual, and very detail-oriented. They took the time to properly prepare the deck and ensured the stain was applied evenly, which made a huge difference in the final result. My deck now looks refreshed and beautifully finished. They also kept the work area clean and communicated clearly throughout the process. I truly appreciate the quality of their work and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and high-quality deck staining services."

"J.H. Painting Services did great exterior work on my home this weekend. I had exterior siding and deck power washed, front door painted, and brick foundation painted. All work was done at a high level of quality and in a timely manner. Communication for planning each of the tasks easy and reliable. Contractor arrived on time. I highly recommend for power washing and paint jobs."

"This company is awesome! They painted my house inside and out flawlessly! They also installed gorgeous vinyl plank flooring and carpet. I can’t say enough about the quality of the work! Workers were great and very efficient. The only glitz was in communication and that was partially because I’m difficult to reach. Would definitely give them a high recommendation!"

"My experience with Pro Stage from start to finish was awesome. Like most people do--I had several contractors come out to give me 'free' estimates. Each of those companies gave me one ridiculous quote after the other, where clearly their main goal was just to put as much of my money in their pocket as possible. A few companies, whom I won't name, even quickly gave me their speech about having their minimum fee for a customer to even be worth their time. (I never do business with those type of companies by the way and neither should you) Pro Stage was very different. Edwin was very personable and offered good 'ol fashioned honest business, where each side feels good about the agreement. Edwin performed high quality work and it was clear that he cared about the work he was doing, as if it was his own home that he was working on. Even a heavy flash flood couldn't stop Pro Stage, as they simply waited it out and then got right back to work. My neigbor was impressed with the work and requested quotes from Edwin and Pro Stage once my project was completed. Friends and coworkers also wanted Edwin's information after seeing my newly improved deck, so I'm sure he'll be hearing from them as well. Not only would I hire Pro Stage again, I plan on it!"

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.

It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the deck refinishing process. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.

Various kinds of substances and deck preservatives act as protective coatings for wood to prevent rot, which is caused by water getting into the wood and creating cracks and splits. Stains, paints, and sealants are the three best options to protect your wood, but there are also oils, varnishes, and waxes available. You’ll need to reapply sealant at least once per year, and you should inspect your wood deck regularly to look for signs of damage or general wear and tear.

Painting a damaged pool deck is not recommended if the substrate is crumbling, cracking, spalling, or otherwise actively deteriorating. Continuing deterioration will result in the paint also delaminating or flaking off the damaged surface. Minor damage such as chips or hairline cracks that are not actively deteriorating can often be repaired enough to paint over. A damaged pool deck with a lot of cracking and deterioration should be replaced for best results.

100% acrylic latex lasts the longest for most siding. Premium 100% acrylic products carry lifetime warranties against peeling, blistering, and fading. Match the grade to your surface and climate for the best lifespan.
