"Jordan was very professional and took the job on late in the painting season; other painters either never showed up or their estimate was a â few thousandâ more for the same work! The job was completed ahead of time."

"My wife and I received 5 bids for our deck refinishing project. We asked for a detailed statement of work, and Costas provided us with a thorough and comprehensive list, and he won our business. He is professional, prompt, readily reachable, practical, and knowledgeable. We value his advice. He has a good team, and the work was completed on schedule, and the attention and care to detail is exemplary. We are 100% satisfied with the result, and will work with True North again."

I have worked in the trades for almost 40 years and am currently renovating my 3rd 100 year old home in the greater Portland area.\nAfter that many homes and countless other projects over the years, i have become proficient and confident in almost every aspect of home building, renovating, and remodeling.\nBig or small, my attention to detail and ability to communicate clearly with my clients has allowed me to keep a steady workload based almost entirely on repeat calls.\nThat said, i am always excited to meet new challenges, learn new skills, and add more happy customers to my base.

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.

Deck staining or painting safeguards wood against the elements through its protective layer, enhancing decay resistance, prolonging structural integrity, and improving visual appeal.

A properly applied coat of stain will last between 3 and 8 years, depending on your climate. If you live in a place where your fence experiences a lot of moisture or high heat, your stain will last for a shorter period than in more temperate conditions. We recommend reapplying stain every 3 to 5 years to keep your wood in good condition.

The longevity of paint on wood depends on factors like the quality of the paint, surface preparation, exposure to elements, and maintenance. Exterior paint on wood surfaces can last 5 to 15 years or more with proper care and maintenance. Interior paint tends to have a longer life span, often 10 years or more. Regular cleaning, touch-ups, and addressing any issues like peeling or cracking can extend the life of the paint. 

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.
