"John and Lou were very professional and did a great job on power washing, sanding, and staining my large deck. They went out of their way to make sure everything worked out. The deck looks amazing now, it's the best I've seen it look in many years. John had great recommendations to make based on his expertise such as the stain type and color to use as well using great methods to ensure the final product came out excellent. Would hire again and recommend their services to anyone."

"I would recommend this company to others. They are professionals that go above and beyond expectations. There are few roofing companies willing to come out to clean gutters on an old house. Their workman was quick and efficient while being respectful and friendly. I am so glad to find a company with great customer service"

"Eric of Red White and Blue was great to work with. He was very responsive, excellent communicator and extremely customer focused. His company did some interior paint for me and then did the exterior stucco as well as stained our deck. I highly recommend Red White and Blue painting."

"Jose is a great guy. However, his crew rushed through my home and missed a lot of drywall repairs that we discussed ahead of the painting. I wound up touching them up myself. I also asked Jose to have his crew remove any outlet and switch covers before painting. Some they did and some they didn't. Again, while replacing covers, I needed to touch up their paint work. After spending several thousands of dollars, I don't want to be bothered with going back over the contractor's work."

Customers say: Quick response

"We were searching for someone to paint our aged wooden deck...it needed a complete make-over. We contacted Jonathan for a quote and he responded in a very timely manner and answered every question we had. After comparing his quote with a couple of others, we found his price to be reasonable and so we hired him to power wash, sand and paint our deck. Jonathan was punctual, extremely polite and respectful and a hard worker. He communicated with us throughout the project and did a fantastic job, taking care and pride in his work. We are very happy with the results and Shaker Flooring and Paint will be our go-to for any future home painting projects. I highly recommend this business!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Always sand a deck before repainting so the wood is smooth and ready for paint. While you do not need to fully remove paint before repainting, sanding helps remove any areas with weather and sun damage. Sanding also helps remove chipped or flaking paint and opens the wood pores to improve paint adhesion.

A deck doesn’t have to be perfectly level. Many pros even recommend a gentle slope to ensure proper drainage and increase longevity. The ideal gentle slope is about 1/8 to 1/4 inch per foot away from the property, leading water away from the home to prevent pooling and reduce the risk of damage. It also minimizes rot, mold, and other moisture-related problems. 

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

The best base materials for a ground-level or floating deck are typically gravel and crushed stone (also known as landscaping rocks). These options are inexpensive, provide excellent drainage, prevent weeds, and help minimize moisture buildup, which reduces shifting and rotting. For added stability and to evenly distribute the weight, you can use concrete deck blocks or pavers. While more expensive, concrete blocks and pavers offer a sturdier base than gravel or crushed stone alone.

The overhang, or nosing, of deck steps is another area that will be covered in building code requirements. The noses on your deck steps should have a minimum overhang of ¾ inch. For safety, usability, and code compliance, the nosing of deck steps should not extend past 1¼ inches.
