"My cedar deck was in need of repair. There were several boards that were cracking and rotting. In addition, the handrail and steps leading from my backyard up to the deck were loose and rotting. I also needed power washing and re-staining. From the initial meeting through the final inspection, the process went very smoothly. Their pricing was reasonable. Most importantly, they started and completed the job on time and the quality of the work was excellent. I would highly recommend Woodbrook Painting!"

"I had been shopping around for a fair and reasonable price while not sacrificing the quality of work done. It took over a month to meet with numerous painters, many with ludicrous almost comical proposals and/ or lack of commitment to the project. I was about to give up and paint my house myself. Then James from JAR painting contacted me and came out and did a quick walk around and gave me a fair estimate on the spot. He was straightforward, direct, and they did an exceptional job. James and his entire crew are professional, experienced and completed the job in a reasonable time frame. Excellent people to work with! James has a member in his crew who did an exceptional job on some rotted wood in several places that needed to be replaced. They saved me from having to replace a window due to a rotted bottom frame. If you are in need of your interior or exterior of your house painted give them the opportunity to give you an estimate. You’ll be happy with the result!"

"I have to be honest. He just did it yesterday and I havenâ t seen it dry yet. It looked okay wet which is when all the flaws are noticeable, it looked great wet, should be even better dry"

"From the first contact through Angi, and along every step of the process, this company was exceptional. Tony did a wonderful job staining my deck in two colors and balcony in one color. Communication with Tuvia was very easy and exceptionally professional. They were the highest bidder and worthy of the investment. I highly recommend them and will use them for any future painting project."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

The plastic in composite decking boards protects them enough that you do not need to paint them to prevent warping. In fact, painting composite decking voids the warranty of some manufacturers. Painting can also increase maintenance on the deck, as you must paint regularly to keep it looking its best.

Two coats of stain are ideal for the best protection and aesthetic appeal. However, if your decking is made of particularly dense hardwood, you may only need one coat. If you want an intense color, two coats are ideal.

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

Ideally, it's best to stain your dock once per year. Applying stain doesn't just keep it looking nice and new; it also helps extend the dock’s lifespan. Since you want to ensure water levels are at their lowest, it's best to have this project done by a professional dock repair service in the cooler autumn or early winter months. 

It's okay to walk on a newly painted deck after about four to six hours as long as the weather has been dry. Be sure to wait at least 24 hours before you place any outdoor furniture or grills on a freshly painted deck, though.
