"I had an excellent experience recently with Deck & Fence Renewal Systems. Brian and Jeremy removed 7 rotted 4x4 fence posts as well as the 2 foot deep concrete plugs in record time. The new posts were installed in the exact same location/height and were perfectly level. They also did a great cleanup and hauled away all the debris. I'll be using this company again for any of my fencing projects!"

"I had CertaPro Painters paint my house and my deck. The work was excellent and the finished price was in totally line with the estimate they provided. The only price adjustment was for the additional carpentry required to replace some rotting wood they discovered. The total cost was a bit more than I expected, though, with the price for the house being nearly twice what I paid 6 years ago and the deck roughly three times what I paid previously. I did not get multiple estimates so their price may well have been comparable across the industry."

"Garringer Painting recently stained my fence, and they did an outstanding job. The crew was prompt, professional, and paid close attention to detail. The stain was applied beautifully and really brought new life to the fence. They took great care with the prep and cleanup, and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. 10 out of 10 — highly recommend! I’ll definitely be using them again for future projects."

"Ed has an incredible work ethic. I appreciated his knowledge and experience when it came to thoroughly cleaning and staining a huge deck that wraps around the back of my home. When he was finished it looked like a brand new deck. I will hire Ed again and I highly recommend him."

"I just had a new walk-in shower installed and had already contracted for laminate flooring to be installed in two bathrooms by a flooring company. I mainly needed a plumber to install two new toilets and faucets. I also needed someone to remove a vanity top and install a new top that I had already purchased. Even though this was a piecemeal project and precise scheduling was critical, Lacey gave me a fair price and I am very happy with the results. He advised me every step of the way so there were no surprises. He did not charge extra for additional toilet hardware needed nor did he charge to do a little extra caulking to beautify another existing vanity top and shower stall. Lacey's eye for detail made me confident that I received excellent service at a fair price. The workers were diligent in not causing any damage to the work already done and thoroughly cleaned and removed all debris, including the old toilets and the packaging from the new vanity and toilets."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

It’s best to use an exterior latex acrylic paint to promote maximum adhesion to composite decking. This flexible paint type can better cope with the natural expansion and contraction that can occur with composite deck boards. Oil-based paints won’t adhere as effectively and are more likely to crack and peel as the boards flex. Testing whether your chosen paint will stick on an inconspicuous section or a spare board is a good idea.

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.

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.

Pressure-treated wood lasts at least 10 years, but with the right care and treatment, it can last as long as 40 years. Painting the boards is one way to increase the lifespan of pressure-treated wood. The layer of paint provides extra protection for the wood against the exterior elements and insects.

Yes, it is important to wash your deck before painting to ensure the paint applies well and adheres properly. While you don't have to use a pressure washer, it is one of the most efficient cleaning methods. Pressure washing can quickly remove dirt, wood fibers, and flaked paint, getting deeper into the wood than manual scrubbing. You can also clean the deck with a stiff broom and a cleaning solution. Regardless of the method, a clean surface is essential for good paint adhesion. Make sure the deck is completely dry before applying any paint.
