"I hired color world to paint and repair my back deck. They did a nice job on the painting and when I showed them a few things that need to to be repaired they came back the very next day and fixed it. The staff was very friendly and receptive and I feel like I got a fair price comparing them to two other painters."

"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!"

"Entire process was quick and easy. Left v/m to set appointment and received callback within 10 minutes. Arrived on time and had no problem getting out some tough pet and kid stains on white carpet. Whole process took no more than 45 minutes and the carpets looked great and were approved by two tough critics - my wife's mother and grandmother."

"I loved working with Ron. He made me feel very confident they would do a good job. All the people working on my fence were very nice and outgoing. My only negative was that they quoted me a certain price, but said they would need more stain and charged me $750 for the extra stain. My total bill came to double the quoted price. That surprised me and I don't like surprises."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

Costs depend on coating type, labor, site preparation, and required finishes.

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.

For the longest-lasting exterior paint, consider acrylic or enamel (oil-based) paints. Acrylic paints, including acrylic latex and acrylic enamel, are known for withstanding harsh weather and sun exposure. Enamel-based paints are also one of the most durable options available. While latex paint is common, it typically has a shorter lifespan than acrylic or oil-based options. The paint's finish also affects its durability; a higher gloss finish is generally more durable. For resistance to moisture and cracking, matte and satin finishes can be effective, while a high-gloss acrylic or oil-based paint offers a combination of maximum longevity and durability.

Hiring a contractor or professional deck refinisher is the best way to ensure your deck is properly stained. They have the expertise, tools, and supplies to do the job quickly and efficiently. However, staining a deck is a manageable task for most homeowners, and doing the job yourself can save money. Just keep in mind that DIY staining is a long process requiring physical strain, so it may not be the best option for everyone.
