Get matched with top deck staining pros in Casselton, ND

Q: How many coats of stain is too much?

• <div><p>Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don&rsquo;t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.</p></div>

Q: How long should I season my deck before staining?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don&rsquo;t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.</p></div>

Q: Can pros help enhance the aesthetic appeal of a deck or porch during repairs?

• <div><p>Yes, they provide design insights that enhance space utility and visual appeal.</p></div>

Q: What maintenance does a wood deck require and how often should it be done?

• <div><p>A wood deck requires annual cleaning and regular inspections for loose or broken boards, nails, and screws. It should be refinished by applying a stain or sealer every two to three years to protect the wood from water damage, rot, mildew, and sun fading. The exact frequency can depend on the climate and the deck's exposure to sun and moisture. If your deck is painted, it will need repainting approximately every 10 years. Signs that your deck needs refinishing include faded, splintering, or warping boards.</p></div>

Q: Can I paint over old paint on my porch?

• <div><p>Whether you can paint over your existing paint depends on what&rsquo;s on there. Most of the time, you&rsquo;ll want to sand down or scrape off the paint that&rsquo;s currently coating your surface. Epoxy paint, for example, won&rsquo;t let new paint stick to the surface. Latex paint is more forgiving and will accept a new coat, but a primer is recommended if you&rsquo;re switching colors.</p></div>

We contracted them to do a small area paint job on some old stained drywall. With drying time between coats and in order to cover the stains they made three trips at no extra charge. They did a neat and thorough job. We highly recommend them.

"This was a big job. The old 2 story house was a total fixer-upper. They did all the walls, ceilings, and completely remodeled the bathrooms and kitchen. It turned out great! The kitchen is gorgeous and so is the whole house. They were very good about protecting the original trim and hardwood floors. They are very nice professional people, and they are very neat and tidy. They worked with our budget, and made great recommendations on how to save money. I recommend them to everyone I know."
