"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."

"Sebastian and his crew checked all the boxes and were the best we have experienced in the 44 years we have lived in this house. Very pleasant, professional and responsive. We could not have been more pleased and know they will be the first we will call for further painting needs."

"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

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.

Adding a second coat of stain to wood can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.

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.

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

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