"It is rare to find excellence and integrity. Christian exemplifies both. He painted the exteriornof my home and deck and transformed it from a sprawling cabin exterior to a fantastic glistening white farmhouse. Christian is straightforward in his communication and a man of his word. He recommended the quality and textures of the paints bases on the type of siding, prorch and deck and the exposure my home has to the seasonal elements. He thoroughly caulked all openings underneath my siding so that each layer of siding flows seemlessly into the next. He also stained my barn paying attention to the type of stain necessary to protect it longer term. You will be in excellent hands and will be delighted by the caliber of his work and attention to detail. He is a gem of a professional and person."

"The detail to work is very professional. The owner and his crew are very polite as well as professional. They came in, cleaned and caulked everything first. Painted all of my windows, front and back porches, garage entry door and it all looks great. They also sanded to the bare wood my front door before staining and clear coating. They left everything very clean. The prices are very reasonable and the work is top quality. I would definitely recommend."

"Wes and Gustavo did a great job on my house. They painted the entire exterior of the house,deck handrails, and pool house. I found very few companies that wanted to take on the height of my house in the backyard. These guys were neat, replaced more wood than we initially thought, and even came back to take care of a couple small detailed items that were missed. Overall great experience that I will share with my friends and neighbors."

"Franklin and his crew were prompt, courteous, efficient and do meticulous work. They go above and beyond to do extras to make the customer happy. I had my exterior trim and doors re-stained. They look brand new. Franklin even hung a new door that was badly damaged. Excellent work."

"We are so happy with the work Alexander and his team did for us - staining our newly installed stair balusters and railings. The quality of work was fantastic, and the team was responsive and professional. We were very impressed with the preparation and care Alexander and his team put into making sure they kept a clean area and prevented any mess with the stain. We absolutely would hire again!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood’s grain for best results.

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths

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.

Oxygen bleach uses hydrogen peroxide as a base and won’t harm wood when using it as a cleaner. On the other hand, chlorine bleach breaks down wood at the cellular level and causes irreversible harm. Although you may not see immediate damage to wood after exposing it to chlorine bleach, its strength and integrity are now compromised.

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.
