"DeckHead, Inc. did a great job in power washing and restoring my composite deck to it's original appearance. Antone and his son did a great job and I plan on having them clean my deck next spring. Ben (owner) priced the job I had done fairly and worked around my schedule. I would recommend DeckHead, Inc."

"I can’t praise Julian’s work enough. I was very pleased and look forward to having him back in the near future. He was prompt, persistent and proficient with an eye for detail while focusing on the job at hand. Watching the care he took in his painting, including removing old paint coatings, applying various finishes, including primer, sealer and two coats of high quality paint, he also took the time to obtain the desired color needed. Along with all this, his pricing was more than fair for a job well done. Also, he wouldn’t accept my check until I approved all his work. Now that’s something you don’t experience everyday. In closing, I sound like an advertisement, but I’m trying to make the point of how pleased I was with his work. Thanks again Julian. See you soon for some interior painting I need done."

"Spray-Net knocked it out of the park! Ching and Aleshia were a pleasure to deal with ? super professional and really took the time to understand what I was looking for. Cleanliness and punctuality were the two things I stressed most, and their team delivered on both without question. They actually asked me what it would take to earn a 5-star review and then made sure every box was checked. Great crew, great results. I?ll be recommending them to everyone I know!"

Deck Staining questions, 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.

When applying multiple coats, wait four to six hours for each coat to dry. Not waiting long enough can result in streaks, peeling, and uneven color. Plus, it will be more difficult to discern where the second coat has already been applied.

To make sure the paint won’t bubble as you apply it, make sure to paint on a day that’s cooler than 85 degrees Fahrenheit. When the temperature is too high, the paint won’t dry evenly, which can result in bubbles forming on the surface. Another way to prevent paint from bubbling is to clean the walls, apply primer, and let everything dry completely before you begin.

Many decking oils can help slow down algae growth, but they don't completely stop it. These oils work by sealing the wood, which reduces moisture and, therefore, algae growth. Some decking oils also help protect against UV damage, but they need to be reapplied according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the decking stays protected.

Choosing the right product involves understanding deck material, desired finish, and local weather conditions. Opt for high-quality, weatherproof formulations ensuring long-term durability and appearance retention.
