"I am so happy to know that there are still businesses who actually act professional in Gastonia. I own a rental property and had some cracks in the the walls that needed repairs. I called Wes, who owns the company. Wes was very attentive to my needs and answered all of the questions I had. He scheduled to meet me at the rental property the very next day and he showed up on time. Wes took his time to measure what I needed done and explain things so that I could understand and walked the entire perimeter of the house to explain what his services would be. I had them prep and paint the deck and foundation outside. Straight Edge also painted the entire inside of the property. Wes was in constant communication with me me throughout the process and made sure that I was informed of what was going on. His quote was better than his competitors and the quality of work was awesome. As a rental proprerty owner I deal with a lot of individuals in the service industry and Straight Edge has really proven that professionalism still exists. Quality work without breaking the bank! I would recommend to everyone."

"The contracting process with SouthEnd Painting was seamless. The sales team and front office were very responsive to all of my questions and especially patient with my (several) last minute changes. They have even helped with providing the colors used several months later, so I could mange some touch-ups required due to light fixture changes - super helpful :) I was happy with the look of the home and have received several compliments on the work. I have already recommended SouthEnd Painting to friends and will use them again in the future."

"Hakan Anderson had two painters at the house who quickly set about installing plastic on the furniture. They then applied stain blocker to the water stains on the ceilings from a leaking roof that was replaced. This was an insurance job. Then they cut in the perimeter of the ceiling with a brush and then rolled 2 coats of paint on each ceiling. After they were done, it was all about cleaning up and a walk through. I had moved all the furniture to the center of the rooms prior to their arrival. Hakan said it wasn't necessary but I felt better about doing it myself."

"Great job - the crew was here early and worked tirelessly until the job was complete - 3.5 days. They left the house and deck looking great, and cleaned up well before leaving."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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

Always wait until the morning dew has dried before you stain your deck. The stain needs a fully dry surface to sink into.

If your biggest concern is making sure your deck doesn’t show dirt, opt for a darker neutral color that blends in well with your surrounding landscape. A rich brown or dark grey are both good options that work with a variety of house colors. A high-quality acrylic paint is easy to clean and maintain, so it might be worth spending the money on.

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. 

Staining a deck is typically less expensive upfront than painting. The cost to stain a deck professionally averages around $850, with most homeowners paying between $550 and $1,250, depending on the deck's size. A DIY staining project can cost less than $100. The cost to paint a deck ranges from $500 to $2,000. While the initial cost of staining is lower, it's important to consider long-term expenses. Paint can last up to 10 years, whereas stain needs to be reapplied every few years, which could lead to higher costs over time.
