"It was super windy the day he stained our deck & it was difficult to keep the stain going where it needed to be & therefore, there were a few spots that were missed. Also, there were 4-5 screws that were holding down the winter blanket that should have been removed & the deck stained. These were not removed & so Edward has agreed to come back next week to complete the project to my satisfaction. Since it was guaranteed for a year I feel quite confident that he will keep his word. Thank You."

"CertaPro seems to have brought on someone whose job it is to help insure customer satisfaction.  I was contacted by this gentleman who listened to my issues.  The Project Manager cam out and again, reviewed the situation and agreed to correct it.  After discussion we agreed that they would correct all the issues with the final finishing of the deck and do their best to match the deck color (the original paint is no longer available). 

It was further agreed at that time that because the color could not be matched and that it would be difficult to break the seal of the current paint, so the deck would not be uniform (can still see some of the issues from before), CertaPro would come back out in the spring of 2016, powerwash the entire deck to break the seal and re-stain it at a significant discount.

While I still feel strongly that, had the job been done correctly at the beginning, I would be a much happier camper, I am pleased with their willingness to make it right.  This deck job was not the first work they have done for me.  I have been satisfied with the other project."

"Chris Westfall and his company came and gave me estimate to replace my old weathered deck boards with a composite decking. They also replaced my railing as well. They showed up on time and the workers were very nice. They also stayed within the budget that was quoted. I would definitely hire them again!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

The best time to paint your deck is when temperatures are neither too cold (below 60 degrees) nor too hot (above 85 degrees). Always paint your deck when there’s no risk of rain. For fast-drying paint like acrylic or latex, ensure your deck can dry for at least four hours. Oil-based paints take longer to dry and may require 48 hours to completely cure.

The best way to protect a deck is to prevent damage from UV light, water, mold, mildew, insects, and abrasive cleaning methods. Sweep regularly to prevent debris that hides bugs and traps moisture that can result in mold or mildew growth. Use a deck cleaner once a year to remove algae, mold, and mildew. Avoid using pressure washers on high, as they can damage the wood. Applying a deck sealant can protect the wood from UV and water damage, and adding shade can also reduce sunlight damage.

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.

Eggshell and satin finishes are best for porches because they sit in the sweet spot between scuffable matte and distracting high gloss. Your porch sees a fair amount of wear and tear, so you don’t want paint that’ll show every mark like matte, but you don’t want to be blinded by glossy paint in the sun either. Eggshell and satin have durability and a look that sits nicely in the middle.
