"I hired Woodbrook to repaint my home and repair, seal and stain my deck. I should mention I interviewed 4 different companies I selected after extensive checking online for the best companies in the Plymouth area. From start to finish the company performed extremely well in every aspect of the process. Ryan, the company contact who came out to review and estimate the job, took the time to really look at the details of what was needed. For example, we had some discussion around the best way to paint around the gutters, after which we agreed they would wrap the gutters to keep paint off of them. The company provided a long list of references, of which I actually called 6 and discussed their experiences with the company. All gave glowing reports, and from their comments I could tell they were not plants for the company. Ryan and the crew were always on time and very businesslike. The painting crew chief had 14 years of experience with the company and it showed. They power cleaned the house one day, and did the painting, deck repair, and staining/sealing in two. There were no surprises with additional charges. The estimate was exactly what I paid. I do not enjoy dealing with the skilled trades because so many are less than great, and sometimes worse. Woodbrook is a refreshing difference from those kinds of service providers."

"I was extremely happy with the job Mario and crew at M & L Painting did on staining my large deck and two sets of steps. He was very professional and easy to work with.. Also was able to schedule right away for the next week and finish in one day as it was a smaller job for him. They worked all day non stop and even sanded the handrails on my steps nice and smooth. TheY cleaned up very nicely also. I would definitely hire him again if I need any painting or remodeling work done. GREAT jOB!"

"Kodra Painting LLC is prompt, efficient, and clear. I would recommend for any internal, external, or staining projects you may have. They use quality paint and materials, and include patching and repair, but they do a very good job on everything. It's not like they do "OK" patching/repair and great paint. They do all of it, and they do it all well."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

You’ll need to restrain your deck when you notice fading, cracking, peeling, or mold and mildew over a moderate to large area, or when it’s become especially difficult to clean. As for how often to stain a deck, plan to do it every two to three years or whenever you start to notice extended damage.

The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage. 

Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years.

The best way to protect a deck is to prevent damage from UV light, water, mold, mildew, insects, and abrasive cleaning methods. Sweep regularly to prevent debris that hides bugs and traps moisture that can result in mold or mildew growth. Use a deck cleaner once a year to remove algae, mold, and mildew. Avoid using pressure washers on high, as they can damage the wood. Applying a deck sealant can protect the wood from UV and water damage, and adding shade can also reduce sunlight damage.

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.
