"Angi is awesome! And they hooked me up with an awesome contractor named Bud Costello (Costello Coatings)! I had BAD decks, issues, and stuff. I contacted him via Angi and he was right over! He took great lengths to talk to us, ask us what we needed, explain all the processes, steps, etc., and what to expect. He answered ALL of our questions, and as a BOOMER, I really appreciated that! He was very polite, professional, and respectful! Then, he got the job done ahead of schedule, at cost, and it looks amazing! Wife is happy, that's all you need to know! I highly recommend him and his excellent HARDWORKING team. Here is before and after, but trust me, they were way worse looking and he fixed them, cleaned them, sanded them, then stained/painted them! Did I mention the wife is Happy?"

"Steve and his crew did a fantastic job painting the exterior of my house. They made such significant progress everyday it looked much easier to paint our home than it actually was. I especially appreciate the attention to detail and professional pride Steve and the crew displayed. They pointed out the little things they still needed to accomplish after I thought a section was complete. Meticulous translates to professional."

"Jay and his team did a great job on my project. They were respectful of my time and space, keeping the job on track with the timeframe quoted to me. They were also one of the cleanest companies I have worked with. There was nothing left for me to do once they were done, but enjoy the space. I would highly recommend."

"I hired Putnam Coastal Painting through Angi. I listed my job and within 5 minutes, Meghan from Putnam called me to schedule an estimate. Jordan was here exactly at the appointed time a day later. I received a quote via email shortly after, which I accepted, then a phone call to schedule. The morning of the job, they called to make sure we were still on, since Mike was going to be travelling an hour to get here. I confirmed. He was on time, with everything he needed. Mike was kind, professional, and polite. There was one more follow-up text to see if I was pleased with the job, and to ask for a rating, which I was happy to do. The job was a plaster failure, about 3'X3' on a leaning inward wall. Mike did a fantastic job repairing it. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Putnam again! The communication was great, without being too much. Sometimes the Angi app is TOO MUCH."

"True north installed decorative window trim on my colonial home. Costas showed up to quote as soon as I called and had the work going within days. The design on the window trim was intricate with dentil, flashings, and arch window moldings. It truly look amazing! Also the price was very reasonable and very fair."

"I have used Northern Ridge to paint the exterior of my house, stain my deck and different parts of the interior on 2 separate occasions. The key difference for Northern Ridge is the attention to the prep work which makes all the difference for a job that will last and look good longer. The team was polite, friendly and always respectful of our needs. They always ended the day with a good clean up so our lives are least affected while the job was in progress."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

The staining or painting process involves cleaning the deck, sanding surfaces, applying a primer (if needed), and carefully applying stain or paint for an even, lasting finish.

Whether to paint or stain a deck depends on your personal preference for appearance and budget. Stain provides a natural look with a range of undertones, is typically less expensive, and may only require one coat, but it does not last as long as paint. Paint offers a sleeker finish with a virtually unlimited color palette. Both options will protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear.

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.

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.
