"Brian and his crew started on a Monday and finished on Friday of the same week. They all were courteous, friendly, efficient and performed everything that was asked of them. Their work was excellent. Any painting I have in the future will be with G & G Pro Painting. I have recommended them to friends."

"We are thrilled with the great job that Denis and his co-workers did on our deck. They thoroughly sanded, washed, and meticulously applied 2 coats of stain. Denis even voluntarily came back with his nail gun first thing the next morning to fix a loose piece of trim. They were VERY hard working, very nice, and good about contacting us."

"Ryan was quick to reply on staining our deck and always followed up on communications, color choices, and setting dates to complete the work. He and his father were extremely professional and friendly to talk with and did a fantastic job! A special “Thank You” to Ryan and his father! Our deck looks brand new! I would highly recommend Jayce Pressure Wash to anyone!!"

"Tony and his team repaired my two decks, replacing rotted boards, reinforcing the railings, sanding the floor and drink rail, and staining/sealing them. Though the decks were only 5 years old, they were discolored, stained, and had mold spots from being in the shade throughout the day. They look like new now. They also built a paver stone platform at the bottom of our deck stairs. And reset the paver platform and stairs, replacing some splintered boards in front of our front door. I am very pleased with the work they did and would hire this company again. Highly recommended."

"A @ K provided the best all around contracting experience of my 97 years. The contract was for substantial decking and siding repairs and major tree removals. Once a price and a date was set, they showed up and never left until the job was beautifully done. I strongly recommend this company"

"John and his team were amazing from the start. I contacted them with a time crunch, as I was pregnant and just moved into my home. John visited the house personally, was extremely welcoming and kind, and had a quote to me within a couple of days. We agreed and his team made quick work of the project on our first floor and almost entire second floor. Once the job began, it was done, and done well, in less than 2 days. I would absolutely trust them again for another project-and intend to contact them for exterior painting next year."

"Difficult time for the workers. Weather was the factor. They were building our 14' X 20' above ground pool deck. Alot of rain during the month of July. Several days were a wash out, but they worked hard and got the job done. Deck looks great and we enjoy it every day. I would hire Brian and crew again. Thanks guys."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

The best paint for an older deck depends on the material and whether or not your deck already has a coat of paint. Generally, if your deck already has paint on it, you should choose the same type of paint when repainting the deck. For example, if an old deck has oil-based paint on it, stick with oil; if your deck has water-based paint, choose water-based paint. 

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.

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.

Provided conditions are ideal, staining an entire deck should take as little as a couple of hours and up to a couple of days to apply and cure. Additional procedures, like sealing a deck or using additional treatments, may extend the project by a few additional days.

The longevity of paint on wood depends on factors like the quality of the paint, surface preparation, exposure to elements, and maintenance. Exterior paint on wood surfaces can last 5 to 15 years or more with proper care and maintenance. Interior paint tends to have a longer life span, often 10 years or more. Regular cleaning, touch-ups, and addressing any issues like peeling or cracking can extend the life of the paint.
