"David was incredibly responsive and had great customer service. He cares about the customer being satisfied with the job. The deck turned out very nice. (note: I was a tiny bit worried about the painter diluting the stain (oil based) with water but it seems this is something that's sometimes done when using a sprayer. I do wish it was diluted with mineral based solution vs water but everything seemed to turn out well and I'm happy with my deck)"

"Cesar and his team did quality professional work on our barn, front porch and decorative wood trim above our older home's windows. After trying for over a year to find someone to follow through on their word to help us, Cesar's team were the ones to get the job done and done well. We had 3 to 4 other Painters come out to give us quotes last year but then we never heard back from them. I was drawn to L.A. Painters after seeing they had painted older homes with decorative woodwork and multiple colors. They did exactly what we wanted done and even helped fix some trim and woodwork along the way! Cesar was present himself throughout the job to ensure it was being done right by his team and he also made sure we were happy with the colors and how things were looking. He is a genuine person who cares about doing the best job they can. We are very happy with how it turned out and would highly recommend Cesar and his crew with L.A. Painters!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

It’s often best to spray on deck sealer. Sprayers can apply sealant more quickly and evenly than rolling while still enabling you to reach tight spaces. When using a sprayer, always use a low-pressure setting at a close distance to ensure an even application. Avoid using sprayers on windy days.

Provided conditions are ideal, staining an entire deck should take as little as a couple of hours and up to a couple of days to apply and cure. Additional procedures, like sealing a deck or using additional treatments, may extend the project by a few additional days.

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.

Choose based on climate, finish preference (glossy, matte), and durability. Tailored coatings also provide longevity.
