"Mario Ramirez and his crew are the utmost professional and efficient painting/drwyall contractor we’ve ever experienced. Our upstairs HVAC leaked condensation down into the primary bedroom, leaving a couple of water stains on our ceiling. After the HVAC was repaired, we hired M&J and we are so thankful we did. They also repaired a noticeable ceiling seam in the same room, and there is no longer any evidence of either. There are several aspects of their work we can compliment but my favorite is how well they protected the space. We only moved small furniture directly below the water stains while all other furnishings remained as is. They also protected flooring from our front door to the bedroom, leaving no trace of their presence or repair work. This level of care speaks volumes on their dedication to exemplary work and respect towards the customer. Cherry on top is their more than fair pricing. Their work exceeded expectations!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan, typically by five to 10 years. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and rot over time. Applying a treatment creates a protective shield that helps prevent splintering, fading, and decay, preserving the wood's strength and appearance. A combination stain and sealer often provides the best protection, as it soaks into the wood grain rather than just sitting on top. This offers superior defense against UV damage and rot and lasts longer than a sealer alone. To maintain the wood's natural look, consider using a near-translucent stain. You should plan to reapply the stain or sealer every two to three years.

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.

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. 

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.

It's okay to walk on a newly painted deck after about four to six hours as long as the weather has been dry. Be sure to wait at least 24 hours before you place any outdoor furniture or grills on a freshly painted deck, though.
