"We want to thank St. Charles Painting and Remodeling for the exceptional job they did rebuilding and staining our cedar fence. This was a complex project involving replacement of more than 200 pickets and 30 supports. Mark Walsh and his team managed and completed the project with much attention to detail. They provided excellent follow up as well. A special thank you is due to Barb Smith, the Office Manager/Controller for her excellent communication and follow up with us during a very busy time of year for the company. She always answered the phone and coordinated the project. We definitely recommend this company."

"Joshua from Five Star Painting came out measured and surveyed our deck, and provided a quote to bring it back to look new. On the appointed day, the crew arrived, introduced themselves, and started work. They power washed, stripped, sanded handrail surfaces sealed and stained our deck to include the overhead pergola, and swing (all cedar). When complete, the crew asked me to accompany them in reviewing the job. Upon my approval I thanked them for their meticulous work and attention to detail, and they left. A bit later, Joshua stopped by and reviewed the work again. He noticed a few spots the crew missed, and that I hadn't noticed either. He grabbed a brush and touched up those spots. I am very happy with the results. Needless to say, I am very impressed with the professionalism of Five Star Painting, and would highly recommend them. They earned their FIVE STAR name in my book. Thanks guys for a great job. We love our deck again."

"The cabinets are beautiful, the finish is exactly the color I was looking for. Tom's staff worked closely with me to find the perfect stain. The cabinets are better than new. Tom kept me appraised along the way, I knew each day when staff would appear. Everyone was very careful to keep sand and dust to a minimum. It was not an easy process, but the results are incredible."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan, typically by five to 10 years. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and rot over time. Applying a treatment creates a protective shield that helps prevent splintering, fading, and decay, preserving the wood's strength and appearance. A combination stain and sealer often provides the best protection, as it soaks into the wood grain rather than just sitting on top. This offers superior defense against UV damage and rot and lasts longer than a sealer alone. To maintain the wood's natural look, consider using a near-translucent stain. You should plan to reapply the stain or sealer every two to three years.

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.

Here's the deal with leaving used rags covered in oil-based stain lying around in a pile: Depending on the conditions, these rags can take just an hour or up to a few days to combust. The source of ignition is caused by trapped heat that can be compounded if the rags are near a heat source.

Always sand a deck before repainting so the wood is smooth and ready for paint. While you do not need to fully remove paint before repainting, sanding helps remove any areas with weather and sun damage. Sanding also helps remove chipped or flaking paint and opens the wood pores to improve paint adhesion.

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.
