"We hired them to build a deck; they did an awesome job. Very polite and considerate Was sure that we could get in and out of our home with a 13-year-old greyhound. They were sure that no debris was left scattered. We have actually hired them to come back and shingle our roof."

""Hire a professional painter " my Sister in law said . And it was the best decision I have ever made. I made the call and Nick was there that evening. NV'S professional painting went above and beyond everything I expected. It's clear that they have a very strong work ethic and expertise of the subject matter. They answered all of my questions before, during and after the job was done. It's amazing how a coat of fresh paint just brings your home to life. There's just not enough adjectives to describe NV'S professional painting. It all was done efficiently. Furniture was moved and covered. They care for your home as if it were there own home and personal belongings. They worked coherently like well oiled machinery. They all communicated amongst themselves and always had a plan for the day. There were other small items that needed to be addressed in the house like painting the base boards and trim that needed to be replaced. So, NV'S is not just for painting. Whatever the job may be, it's definitely done with precision and expertise. Nick stands behind his work and promises to make it right if you are not completely happy with the job in any way. I am very pleased with NV'S professional painting and will very likely ask for them to return to repair and repaint the decking.. A " heartfelt " Thank you to Nick, Jerad and Roger for a job well done. I appreciate all you've done. My home looks like a new box of crayons."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.

Staining a deck is typically less expensive upfront than painting. The cost to stain a deck professionally averages around $850, with most homeowners paying between $550 and $1,250, depending on the deck's size. A DIY staining project can cost less than $100. The cost to paint a deck ranges from $500 to $2,000. While the initial cost of staining is lower, it's important to consider long-term expenses. Paint can last up to 10 years, whereas stain needs to be reapplied every few years, which could lead to higher costs over time.

You should seal your deck every one to two years, but you’ll also need to clean and repair your wood deck throughout the seasons. You may want to hire a local house cleaning service to sweep and clean the deck thoroughly. These cleaning services cost around $50 per hour.

Inspect your deck at least once a year, and if you notice any damage or rot, expect to spend about $10 to $50 for simple DIY fixes or about $2,000 for professional repairs on more extensive damage.

Many decking oils can help slow down algae growth, but they don't completely stop it. These oils work by sealing the wood, which reduces moisture and, therefore, algae growth. Some decking oils also help protect against UV damage, but they need to be reapplied according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the decking stays protected.

When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.
