"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. 

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.

Constant exposure to inclement weather conditions can damage your deck, causing it to fade, warp, or crack over time. Regular maintenance keeps it looking and performing its best. That means giving it a good cleaning and applying a quality sealant or wood treatment to help defend against moisture, sun damage, and everyday wear.

A five-gallon bucket of deck stain will cover roughly 875 square feet in a single coat. Actual coverage will vary based on the type of wood you’re staining and the number of coats. If you plan on doing multiple coats, multiply the square footage by the number of coats to calculate how many buckets of stain you’ll need.

You don’t necessarily have to remove all the old paint before repainting your deck, but it’s best to remove as much as possible to ensure a smooth and long-lasting finish. Prioritize scraping off loose, peeling, or flaking paint, and sand down rough areas to create a smooth surface for the new paint to bond with.
