"This took place a couple of years ago. What I remember is a personable crew, had no problems with scheduling or neatness. However, we had to have them back to re-paint some stained areas of 2 bathroom ceilings. We ended up fixing them ourselves. I don't remember the cost."

"Costas and his team did a wonderful job on my Aunt's home. What started off as a deck repair, turned into so much more (siding, windows, new 1/2 bath). The house had been in a bit of disrepair and he was very thoughtful and thorough in his approach to bringing it back to life. My family and I will enjoy it for many years to come, and I truly appreciate some of the little things he did along the way to ensure everything was done right. He took the initiative to select things when I was not able to be there. It felt very much like he was treating as if it were his own home. His attention to detail was terrific, and he was super responsive. THANK YOU again!"

"Working with Brian and Northern Ridge was a great experience - Excellent pricing and my deck looks terrifi!. Moustafa was a hard worker, very friendly and did a wonderful job staining the deck. Brian came back to look over everything and even made a few touch ups himself - I was very impressed with him and his entire crew. They were a joy to deal with and very professional. I would recommend Northern Ridge to anyone who wants to deal with a customer-oriented company that does excellent work!"

"As the president of our condo association, I hired Alijah to brighten up the front of our condo by staining our mahogany decks, painting our front doors, and painting our front porch railings. After 5 years, our 5 buildings and 14 units needed a fresh clean look. Alijah and his team provided just that. Attention to detail with high-quality service! Alijah arrived each day, on time, eager to work, and stayed until the job was done! Our association is very happy with E.C.E Painting and would highly recommend them."

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

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.

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.

Hangers are one way of attaching stair stringers to a deck. These metal hangers are usually adjustable, allowing you to find the ideal angle for a secure installation. They’re the best choice for installing longer staircases, such as one on a two-story deck, to reduce the load on the deck frame while keeping the stairs stable.

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. 

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.
