"When getting an estimate from Leo, we noticed that my recently installed deck was not properly supported. Leo was able to correct this problem and then apply the stain which was the original work to be done. Leo was very courteous and professional. His pricing was very competitive. He did a very good job, and I would hire him again."

"Sunflower Paintingâ s owner, Terry Counts, provided an accurate, clearly written estimate, for repairing, power washing, and staining two decks, repairing damage, sanding, and painting my foyer, hallway, kitchen, bathroom, and 4 doors doors. Terry delivered professional, high quality work on each of my projects, at the agreed upon cost, and he completed the work sooner than expected. I love the quality of his work, attention to detail before, during, and after project completion, contractual integrity (no hidden fees), work ethic, protection of the environment, timeliness and tidiness. Without reservation I recommend Sunflower Painting. Dr.A. (Fenton, MI)"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must. 

If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood’s grain for best results.

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.

You can use latex or acrylic paint outdoors. Although acrylic paint tends to last longer outside, it also costs more, so if you’re painting the outside of your house, for instance, latex paint is often a go-to option. However, acrylic will be your best choice if you want to spend some extra money for added durability.
