"This company did exterior paint/stain in white on our small deck & very long privacy fence (28 8 ft. sections); both sides. They did power wash it first, then applied 2 coats of exterior paint. We also hired them to paint/stain our rental's decks in back & front; both in black. This very efficient team did an outstanding job. Looks great!!!"

"Dion did a FABULOUS job!! We had green algae everywhere. Not any more! He spent hours washing every single inch of this house and it looks wonderful. I highly recommend this company. I had hired them in the past to work on the deck. They're reliable, responsible and do a really great job!"

"We could not be more pleased with Jamie Miller's work. His professionalism is top-notch! In addition to the cleaning, sanding, staining, he replaced a rotted deck railing. We appreciated that Jamie took care to protect the dense perennial gardens that are in front of the deck skirting to minimize possible damage. He also did some touch up work on the chimney. We're planning on having him do interior work for us during the winter."

"Excellent experience. Crew led by Dustin (can't remember all other names) were extremely professional, punctual and kept us apprised of every step and the progress his team was making. Carpentry work that was required (replacing deck railings & a part of house soffit that had rotted) was well done and we were impressed with the quality of the work, especially the new railing. Paint job was also well done and they got it done quickly as well. Would highly recommend and would definitely use again."

"We couldn’t be any more happy with our completed projects by ODP than we are! Adam is reliable, conscientious, trustworthy and above all committed to delivering the highest quality finished work. Our first project with ODP involved staining out the staircase from our great room down to our lower level. Tying our floor to the treads, bannister, etc. was no easy task. Adam provided valuable design feedback, and in the end - made the staircase a focal point for our entire first floor. From there, we had ODP paint the exposed rough ceiling in our new workout room. To be honest, we were a little nervous about that project, but it came out great - giving the room a cool industrial look. Lastly, we had ODP paint our entire walkout level. Their attention to detail was incredible, and Adam provided honest input - letting us know that we could get by with touching up our doors and trim, rather than repainting them completely - which helped us save a little and come in under budget. We’re already considering our next project with ODP, painting our exterior trim. We feel very fortunate to have found a painting company we can rely on for all of our future projects."

"This company is truly spectacular! I needed the boards on my large deck replaced. Chris is very professional and personable and easy to work with. His quote after viewing the area was very timely presented and affordable. His crew works meticulously, very efficiently and leaves no detail behind. I would recommend this company highly. If I could leave 10 stars I would! Thank you. Christine."

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

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. 

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.

DIY is possible but presents risks of uneven surfaces or improper adhesion; professionals offer expertise to ensure a lasting finish.

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.

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.
