"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.

"Making a decision to paint the kitchen cabinets and the
kitchen walls and the hallway at the same time was a little overwhelming. It
took a long time to decide on the right white for the cabinets (I kid you not
here are a MILLION shades of white) and then the walls (even more colors to
choose from) and then the hallway (not too bad since it matched the kitchen
color on the chart) but there was never any decision making about who would
paint. Sheldon and Sons painters have painted multiple parts of the our house
from my husband?s office to the deck surrounding the entire house (twice the
last time with special paint and always with a power wash) to the house itself
and the patio furniture, Sheldon and Sons was the go to people. From the
estimator to the painters inside and out it was a great experience. All the
painters were professional as well as kind and patient as they completed the
jobs. The painters who did the deck just plain enjoyed eithers company worked
like one person. The painter who just completed the kitchen was extremely neat
in all he did in the house to remove cabinets, sand them then repaint all in
the house without a bit of mess outside his work space. He was so polite and
careful with all the furniture that I was very impressed (so ask for Walter). Seriously
no matter who you get as your painter from Sheldon and Sons you will be
pleased, impressed and happy with the outcome. Oh and you will appreciate the
price for the product you will get.

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Ideally, it's best to stain your dock once per year. Applying stain doesn't just keep it looking nice and new; it also helps extend the dock’s lifespan. Since you want to ensure water levels are at their lowest, it's best to have this project done by a professional dock repair service in the cooler autumn or early winter months. 

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

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.

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 way to protect a deck is to prevent damage from UV light, water, mold, mildew, insects, and abrasive cleaning methods. Sweep regularly to prevent debris that hides bugs and traps moisture that can result in mold or mildew growth. Use a deck cleaner once a year to remove algae, mold, and mildew. Avoid using pressure washers on high, as they can damage the wood. Applying a deck sealant can protect the wood from UV and water damage, and adding shade can also reduce sunlight damage.
