"The team refinished and painted my front door and made it look brand new! The painter did a meticulous job. Dormer was also refinished and painted. George was very responsive in explaining process thoroughly and responding to all my queries and follow-ups. I highly recommend Gale?s carpentry."

Customers say: Quick response

"Julio and his team were very professional, courteous, and considerate throughout the project. The quality of their work is excellent. My project involved prepping, sealing, and staining a new cedar wood fence, and we are very pleased with the outcome. Julio quickly returned my calls whenever I had a question, and the team came on time as scheduled; they were very punctual. They also cleaned up when the project was complete. I will request their services again for other projects and I highly recommend them. It was a pleasure working with them. Joe from Bayonne, NJ"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

You’ll need to restrain your deck when you notice fading, cracking, peeling, or mold and mildew over a moderate to large area, or when it’s become especially difficult to clean. As for how often to stain a deck, plan to do it every two to three years or whenever you start to notice extended damage.

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.

Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint. 

The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage. 

Always wait until the morning dew has dried before you stain your deck. The stain needs a fully dry surface to sink into.
