""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

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. 

A wood deck requires annual cleaning and regular inspections for loose or broken boards, nails, and screws. It should be refinished by applying a stain or sealer every two to three years to protect the wood from water damage, rot, mildew, and sun fading. The exact frequency can depend on the climate and the deck's exposure to sun and moisture. If your deck is painted, it will need repainting approximately every 10 years. Signs that your deck needs refinishing include faded, splintering, or warping boards.

DIY staining or painting is manageable with proper preparation, including safety measures, necessary tools, and adherence to safe weather conditions for application.

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.

Yes, it is generally a very good idea to seal your deck after pressure washing. Power washing removes not only dirt and debris but also a thin layer of wood, leaving the surface exposed and more susceptible to weathering. Sealing is almost always needed after this process. After a general cleaning, sealing isn't automatically necessary if the existing sealant is still intact. You can test the surface by placing a few drops of water on it. If the water beads up, the sealant is working. If it soaks into the wood, it's time to apply a new sealant. If it has been a few years, it's wise to remove the old sealant, wash the deck, and reseal for maximum protection.
