"Stag Construction was hired to replace poorly installed Hardi Board siding and replace patio doors and window. Pictures show after corrections of miscut siding, siding pattern not running in same direction, siding not even from panel to panel, wavy uneven fascia, 2"gaps between soffits and siding, roof edges straightened and more. Fascia is now straight and runs parallel to top of windows and no holes/gaps for rodents to enter. Amazing! Due to the unknown extent of the work, contract was" by the hour, not a bid. What a pleasant surprise to deal with a company that knows how to install so as not to void a warranty. Austin and his brothers were professional, knowledgeable about the product, courteous, and efficient. Work hours calculated accurately and materials receipts were detailed. I appreciated their willingness to discuss options and express opinions when asked. Stag Construction will be doing more work for me next spring. Looking forward to it!"

"They did a tremendous job, paid very close attention to every detail, worked efficiently and quickly but thoroughly, and cleaned up afterward totally. Our home is a 2200 sq ft log home in a rural area with several decks, and they cleaned then stained every millimeter perfectly. We could never have hoped for more."

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.

Exterior paints contain more volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, making them dangerous when used indoors. Without the free ventilation of the great outdoors, it can take longer for the fumes to dissipate than interior paint. While you may notice the smell lessening more quickly, you should be wary of paint fumes inside for 48 to 72 hours after it dries.

Yes, it is important to wash your deck before painting to ensure the paint applies well and adheres properly. While you don't have to use a pressure washer, it is one of the most efficient cleaning methods. Pressure washing can quickly remove dirt, wood fibers, and flaked paint, getting deeper into the wood than manual scrubbing. You can also clean the deck with a stiff broom and a cleaning solution. Regardless of the method, a clean surface is essential for good paint adhesion. Make sure the deck is completely dry before applying any paint.

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.

Various kinds of substances and deck preservatives act as protective coatings for wood to prevent rot, which is caused by water getting into the wood and creating cracks and splits. Stains, paints, and sealants are the three best options to protect your wood, but there are also oils, varnishes, and waxes available. You’ll need to reapply sealant at least once per year, and you should inspect your wood deck regularly to look for signs of damage or general wear and tear.
