"I met with Alex from TrueCoats, LLC, he was punctual for our meeting and demonstrated outstanding customer service. The work was done within the timeframe promised; even earlier then expected! Excellent quality for the price! I am going to hire them to paint my deck next."

"I hired Wolverine Custom Painting to restore my deck, which included replacing rotted wood and hand rails, power washing years worth of grime and mildew, and re-staining it to a beautiful dark shade of brown. I am more than happy with the work completed by Wolverine Custom Painting. I am very impressed with the skill of carpentry plus the quality of product that was recommended, the attention to fine details, the time that they took to prep the deck, the list goes on. Doug was  great with answering my questions and the crew was always friendly and professional. The deck was beautiful in its early days, and well, it just needed some TLC after being neglected for several years by the prior owners. Thank you, Wolverine Custom Paining for giving my deck the attention it needed and deserved and for bringing it back to life! I knew I had hired the right company when Doug said, "If I put my name on something, I want it to be the best." I agree wholeheartedly and that type of work ethic is hard to find. I would highly recommend the company."

"Pinnacle Painting did an amazing job painting the exterior and parts of the interior of my house. All the painters were super hard working, friendly, and paid attention to detail. Ryan is a class act, he explained every detail during my estimate and there were no hidden fees. In fact, my gutters were cleaner than he thought so he took some money off my bill, which is super ethical. Ryan also spent an hour after the job going through old paints from another painting job to color match and giving me tips on how to touch up a few areas. His price was very fair. Interestingly, he was an art teacher before owning a painting business so he has a great eye for color and attention to detail. Nothing but 5 stars for Pinnacle and I will be recommending him to all my friends!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.

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.

You’ll want to avoid excessively hot or humid conditions, so it’s best to apply your stain in late spring to early fall. It's also important to watch the weather forecast and aim for days when there isn’t rain expected for at least three days. For new decks, allow the wood to season beforehand for at least four to eight weeks.

Pressure-treated wood lasts at least 10 years, but with the right care and treatment, it can last as long as 40 years. Painting the boards is one way to increase the lifespan of pressure-treated wood. The layer of paint provides extra protection for the wood against the exterior elements and insects.
