"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)"

"I recently hired Ethan and his team to paint my house and stain my deck, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, they were incredibly professional and easy to work with. Communication throughout the entire process was excellent. They were responsive, clear about timelines, and kept me updated every step of the way. It really made the whole project feel smooth and stress-free. The crew was also extremely polite and respectful while working at my home. They took great care with everything, and their attention to cleanliness really stood out. At the end of each day, the area was neat and organized, which I really appreciated. Most importantly, the quality of the work speaks for itself. The house looks fantastic and the deck staining turned out great. It’s clear they take pride in what they do. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for painting or staining work. Professional, communicative, clean, and courteous — a great team all around."

"Our home looks brand new thanks to Brush & Roll! We were in desperate need of a new paint job on the exterior of our home and interior. The team arrived on time, worked diligently throughout the day, and stuck to the agreed-upon timeline. The crew spent significant time cleaning, sanding, and caulking before painting. Leaving an incredible outcome. I am very impressed and pleased with the job done!"

"I had a good experience with Jose's team - especially given my home being very delicate (over 100 years old)). They made sure to confirm everything, bring a crane to deal with the larger 20+ foot sides of my home, spent 3 days masking and painting, then cleaned up after they were done."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Adding a second coat of stain to wood can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.

Staining a deck is typically less expensive upfront than painting. The cost to stain a deck professionally averages around $850, with most homeowners paying between $550 and $1,250, depending on the deck's size. A DIY staining project can cost less than $100. The cost to paint a deck ranges from $500 to $2,000. While the initial cost of staining is lower, it's important to consider long-term expenses. Paint can last up to 10 years, whereas stain needs to be reapplied every few years, which could lead to higher costs over time.

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. 

Exterior paints contain more volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, making them dangerous when used indoors. Without the free ventilation of the great outdoors, it can take longer for the fumes to dissipate than interior paint. While you may notice the smell lessening more quickly, you should be wary of paint fumes inside for 48 to 72 hours after it dries.

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.
