"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

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

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.

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.

It is not always necessary to remove old stain before restaining a deck. If the previous stain is in good condition and is compatible with the new stain, you may be able to apply a new coat after thorough cleaning. However, if the old stain is in bad condition, flaking, or peeling, it is best to remove it completely to ensure an even surface and proper adhesion for the new coat. Staining over a damaged layer can lead to an uneven finish and poor penetration. For best results, test a small area first and consult the stain manufacturer's guidelines.
