"It went great! They communicated often and very respectfully, followed up when there were rain days and with other information to keep us in the loop. Worked quickly through our deck and it was done in a couple of days (working with rain in the afternoons/weather delays). It would’ve been faster! I noticed they took care and time to make sure they didn’t paint on my siding/flashing that touches/adjacent to the deck. Appreciated that attention to detail! Would hire again."

Time and date went as agreed upon. Work was incredibly slow. I was given the impression that the man I spoke to and a second worker would be present for the hourly rate, but instead it was one worker most of the time. Head man admitted that the worker was probably going especially slowly because we were doing an hourly rate and that he would have had more incentive to work faster if it was a flat fee for the whole deck. He had never before mentioned doing a flat fee for the whole deck and thought that this was some kind of good reason for this work going so slowly and racking up $$$ for him! He did negotiate a slight discount with me at the last minute because I expressed displeasure. He did not follow our instructions about which parts of the deck we wanted stained first. We wanted the outer railings done first because we were specifically hiring someone to do most of the ladder work for use, with the intention of finishing the inner parts ourselves, as my husband did during part of the time the work was being done. Also, the places where stain was applied were poorly done with missed spots. We wanted professionals doing the power washing so that we would not put marks and gouges in the wood with our inexperience, but they didn't manage to avoid that either. Ultimately, they left well before the job was finished, and we did the rest ourselves. We also had to supply all stain and paint supplies.

"They did an amazing job! I needed my whole house repainted, they came in gave me a bid, and after I hired them, they were done 3 days earlier than expected. I have another house that needs done and will absolutely be hiring this crew again for the work!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

For homes in areas with extreme weather, high heat, or intense sun exposure, high-quality acrylic paint is the best option. Acrylic paint is durable, resistant to both heat and cold, and provides a protective barrier with excellent UV resistance. For best results, look for acrylics that contain natural earth pigments, which are better suited for resisting sun damage. While oil-based paint is also durable, it can be prone to fading in high heat and can become too viscous to apply easily in cold temperatures. Additionally, choosing a neutral or light color like gray, beige, or white can help, as these colors absorb less heat than darker shades.

Limewash and whitewash do not harm surfaces if you apply them correctly. Use on non-suitable surfaces can cause issues. For instance, applying limewash or whitewash to surfaces with existing sealants or incompatible materials may lead to poor adhesion or flaking. Also, harsh cleaning agents on limewashed or whitewashed surfaces can damage the finish. Proper preparation, application, and maintenance ensure that limewash and whitewash do not harm surfaces.

The staining or painting process involves cleaning the deck, sanding surfaces, applying a primer (if needed), and carefully applying stain or paint for an even, lasting finish.

Rags used with oil-based stains are highly flammable and can spontaneously combust in the right conditions. To reduce the fire risk, throw them in a metal container after use and add rocks on top to secure them. Add an inch of water and seal the container. Take the rags in the container to a hazardous waste factory as soon as possible.

Apply a wood stain or sealant to properly maintain a wood deck railing and keep it looking new. Sealants protect wood from moisture and weathering. Regularly inspect the railing for loose screws, damaged balusters, and other signs of wear to make timely repairs. Routinely clean the railing using mild soap, water, and a soft bristle brush.
