"He did an amazing job. He did all the work in the middle of winter and never missed a day. He showed up every morning and when he left at night he made sure everything was picked up and clean. I would recommend him for any job and would definitely hire him again."

"Sheldon and his team were everything you could want in a painter. Prompt communication, fair price, good advice and excellent work. They went above an beyond to fix the little things that they found. No extra cost. They even moved the wood pile away from the deck and restacked it. High marks across the board."

"I can not recommend him enough. Dylan was very professional, kind, and adamant about turning my dreams into my reality in regards to my kitchen. I had been looking into renovations when my longtime friend recommended me Dylan. He told me he did exceptional work on his bathrooms not too long ago. Dylan worked with me and all of my uncertainty. With this new open layout, I am so thankful to be able to gather with everyone at once. I am so impressed by how beautiful this island is and how well it compliments the backsplash of the room. The windows are beautiful and bring in the perfect amount of light. I am amazed by how detailed he was, especially with each light fixture and cabinet handle."

"We started using Maple falls a year and a half ago, and it's been excellent every time. We usually use them for general maintenance, but last year we had them do a huge landscaping project that involved the whole yard, and they did an outstanding job. They're always on time, and some of the hardest workers I've ever seen. Their pricing is quite reasonable for the work that they do. Nestor, the owner, has always been available if I ever have questions or concerns, and has great communication with you while they work for you."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must. 

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.

Whether you can paint over your existing paint depends on what’s on there. Most of the time, you’ll want to sand down or scrape off the paint that’s currently coating your surface. Epoxy paint, for example, won’t let new paint stick to the surface. Latex paint is more forgiving and will accept a new coat, but a primer is recommended if you’re switching colors.

Deciding whether to stain or paint a pool deck depends on your budget, desired look, and the deck's material. Both options can work. Paint offers a wider variety of color options, provides excellent water resistance, and can last longer. However, it requires a primer and can eventually fade or peel. Stain is often cheaper, easier to apply, and penetrates the wood for a more natural look and longer-lasting finish. It also has great water resistance. The downsides are fewer color options and the need for a sealant. The choice can also depend on the deck material; for example, staining may be a better option for concrete as it bonds well and lasts longer than paint.

You’ll want to avoid excessively hot or humid conditions, so it’s best to apply your stain in late spring to early fall. It's also important to watch the weather forecast and aim for days when there isn’t rain expected for at least three days. For new decks, allow the wood to season beforehand for at least four to eight weeks.
