"Rich and his team are truly professional painters and the best I have seen in the painting business. They stained the exterior of our home in 2021 and painted several high-ceiling rooms. They provided a fair price inclusive of paint/stain and truly are experts in painting. There are people that will paint for you and then there are professional painters who can quote a job, show up with all the necessary equipment for complex jobs and finish on-time. Highly recommend Rich and his team!"

"Nick came right out to see the project in November.he made it clear that they only had availability in the spring. Based on the reviews on Home Advisor,we decided to wait. They were a pleasure to have around and were extremely efficient. Nick made suggestions from experience including veto-ing my original counter choice! He was sooo right! We love the job and have more things planned for the future."

"What a fantastic experience we had with Eddie O'Brien, who recently painted the picket fence around our country house and refinished our deck and wood steps! From start to finish, Eddie's work was absolutely top-notch. The fence looks incredibly fresh and inviting, and our deck and steps have been transformed – they look brand new and the craftsmanship is evident. Beyond his impressive skills, Eddie's perseverance was truly remarkable. He tackled every unexpected challenge with a smile. We had a few delays that were completely out of his control, including a surprise bee sting, a sudden bad storm that set us back, and, believe it or not, a random black bear encounter! Through it all, Eddie maintained his good humor and dedication, ensuring the job was completed to perfection. We highly recommend Eddie O'Brien for any painting or refinishing needs. You won't find a more skilled, dedicated, and resilient professional!"

"Andrew Wells has been a gift from God for my dire situation. I have an extremely old house which needs extensive repairs, and through Home Advisor's recommendation I hired Andrew Wells to repair numerous holes in the soffit to prevent bats and squirrels from entering my attic. So far, he has done an incredible job! I am so impressed by his honesty and devotion and reasonable prices that I intend to hire him for future repairs/work. He truly is a blessing to the field of contracting and I am most grateful that I found him through Home Advisor. Thank you!!!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

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 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.

Whether to paint or stain a deck depends on your personal preference for appearance and budget. Stain provides a natural look with a range of undertones, is typically less expensive, and may only require one coat, but it does not last as long as paint. Paint offers a sleeker finish with a virtually unlimited color palette. Both options will protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear.
