"They did an excellent job with all the work. They were able to perfectly color match the stain to my new detached garage which had vinyl siding. Very good attention to detail. All seams between siding and windows were caulked. They use high quality Behr products. They started and finished the job quickly and had very good communication throughout the job. Would definitely recommend them to anyone needing this kind of work done."

"I honestly can’t say enough good things about this company. I saw their information on the local neighborhood website and contacted. They were there in three days to do the estimate and were there doing the job in a week. It was sweltering heat and bad smoke from the Canadian wildfires but they were out there working and doing a great job. So happy I found them and will definitely use them again the next time I have a project."

"We hired Max Brubaker to sand and stain our large deck and front porch. We had other bidders but Max so impressed us with his professionalism, knowledge, and friendliness, we hired him on the spot. Max is thorough, worked hard for long days and regularly checked in to make sure we knew the next step and to answer questions. He welcomed feedback and wanted us to be satisfied. Max is a young man who takes pride in quality work. Our finished deck is gorgeous! Max Brubaker will not disappoint you. Highly recommend"

"I am an Interior Designer/Project Manager for a company that owns several resorts, and have hired MJ to remove wall vinyl and paint several units at our properties. She is an absolute perfectionist!! Her work is flawless and her sunny disposition and professionalism make her a dream to work with. She is my first phone call when I have a paint job, and the reassurance that the work will be performed in a timely manner and turn out perfectly is priceless. I highly recommend MJ to anyone who is looking for a painter who knows what they are doing, has respect for other's property, and does amazing work!!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.

Painted decks typically require a new coat about once every ten years. In between new coats, it's best to maintain your deck by regularly removing debris, washing it down with non-abrasive cleaners, and staying ahead of structural issues, such as loose boards and rotting wood. In some cases, painting a small section of your deck affected by damage or the sun can lower your costs and workload.

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.

If your biggest concern is making sure your deck doesn’t show dirt, opt for a darker neutral color that blends in well with your surrounding landscape. A rich brown or dark grey are both good options that work with a variety of house colors. A high-quality acrylic paint is easy to clean and maintain, so it might be worth spending the money on.

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.
