"I was very happy with the young man who came and pressure washed the deck. The following day, Tony came and stained the deck. He matched the color perfectly. Both men were very professional and did excellent work. The price was very fair. I would use this company again."

"John came out and after looking at our deck,gave us a quote to wash and stain the deck. We felt very comfortable with him and did not want a second opinion..we said yes..He came out with worker and power washed the deck. Amazing how clean it became. We waited for weather to be dry and yesterday his crew came and stained the deck. They were very professional and the deck looks great. We would recommend Campbell Painting to anyone ."

"Mike replies promptly, is friendly and professional and does good work. After the first job, I hired him again to seal my deck. I had gotten other estimates and he was much more reasonable in price, almost half the cost for the 2 bedrooms. Price is for the deck."

"Wes from Smith Painting did an excellent job and we definitely recommend him. He was professional, provided us with an estimate and finished the job quickly. We had him stain our deck. He power washed, repaired loose boards, sanded and hand painted the gaps between the deck slats. He then applied two coats of stain. We couldn’t ask for better work! We will definitely contact him in the future for any of our painting needs. Thank you, Wes!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

A properly applied coat of stain will last between 3 and 8 years, depending on your climate. If you live in a place where your fence experiences a lot of moisture or high heat, your stain will last for a shorter period than in more temperate conditions. We recommend reapplying stain every 3 to 5 years to keep your wood in good condition.

You don't need to seal your deck after painting it because most exterior paints are waterproof and weather-resistant. While stealing is not necessary, it can add an additional layer of protection.

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must.
