"The men that stained our deck were very efficient. They did an amazing job restraining our deck and railings. They cleaned up everything when they were finished. They were very polite and courteous. We highly recommend them."

"We researched for exterior painters on Angi’s List; Home Advisor and also looked through google reviews as well. There are a lot of painters out there, but we did narrow it down to five and obtained estimates from all. We selected Pete of Premier Painting and so happy we did. From the beginning he was timely with his follow up to our calls/emails; he provided an initial estimate based on information and photos and then met with us to do a more detailed estimate (which didn’t change, except for additional items that we decided to include). His estimate was competitive and we just had a “good feeling” that he would be the right fit for us and based on reviews, a good painter. Although we were initially going to be scheduled for Spring of 2022, at the last minute Pete had an opening in the schedule for the end of this season and began in September. His work is great; he sprayed and brushed our home and when he sprayed he back brushed for complete coverage; he is neat; cleans up each day; is organized in his approach on how and what he painted so as the front was done first both trim and body so from the road it looked complete. During the course of his being here, we ended up making some changes in terms of stain treatment for our deck, which resulted in more sanding; adding an item or two and he has always been professional and agreeable. In addition to painting the entire exterior - our deck balusters were all stained brown and he is painting them all white - pretty labor intensive but the finished product is just what we hoped for. For various reasons he ended up painting our home by himself and he is here every day - 6 days a week, weather permitting; is communicative if he won’t be here for weather related reasons - and he even returned our dog when he was leaving and found her down the road. A pleasure to work with; we highly recommend.--"

"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."

"Lighthouse Painting just finished painting our home. The crew did a wonderful job, making sure each phase was done completely before moving on. We changed colors and after the two coats of stain, there are none of the old colors to be seen. Highly recommend them to others. The crew was easy to work with and put in full days on the job."

"Jordan and his crew did a fabulous job bringing new life to our kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanity. Jordan explained the process- preparation, timeline, etc. Crew was here first thing every morning and worked a very long days. Efforts were made to keep all dust contained. We had a couple of minor issues- they were rectified to our satisfaction very promptly. It is obvious that client satisfaction is paramount with this company. Jose also went above and beyond, and did an additional small area for us. Would highly recommend."

"True north has done many projects for us and recently did our back deck which ended up changing into a screened in porch. They are always on time, professional, friendly and have worked with us making adjustments and changes. The workmanship is very good! I d hire them back for any future projects."

"My wife and I chose BG Construction to stain the exterior of our cabin and also the interior of our covered deck, to include railings and all landscaping ties. We knew there would be extensive scraping and caulking and we also feared there would be unforeseen problems that would require carpentry and other construction. WE received a complete walk around and possible problems were pointed out to us. An accurate estimate was given, barring of course, unforeseen work. Bill Gray and his associates, Bobbie and Frank, were nothing short of fantastic! They are courteous, extremely friendly, and about the hardest workers we have seen in a long time. They became part of our family during their time here. If you are looking for a full service outfit that are capable of not only painting but fixing things too, you can't do better. Bill and his crew are craftsmen. Choosing BG Construction was one of the best investments we have made concerning our home. Eric/Patt"

"My project has just started. So far, I'm extremely impressed. The owner came out to give me an estimate, and discuss what I wanted for my home exterior staining. Very professional, courteous, and honest. The first stage of washing my home to prepare for staining was also impressive. The foreman who is overseeing the project arrived, and again reviewed everything that will take place. The crew then cleaned my home in only 2 hours! Again very impressive. Prior to leaving, they neatly stacked all the ladders that they used completely out of the way, which is even more important to me because I have a large dog on a run who loves to get into trouble with new objects in the yard. So far, I'm extremely happy with Northern Ridge and highly recommend them."

"After 2 bad experiences with painting jobs over the years, we had given up hope of having a beautiful home exterior. I am so glad we found ECE. They were fantastic. They knew what our house needed -- mainly, a thorough and professional prepping, which we had not gotten before. They took their time to make sure it was done properly, including carpentry to replace old boards. They even worked with the paint store to make sure we got the exact color we wanted. I would recommend them without hesitation."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

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.

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.

Two coats of stain are ideal for the best protection and aesthetic appeal. However, if your decking is made of particularly dense hardwood, you may only need one coat. If you want an intense color, two coats are ideal.
