"We had Valley Brothers out to deal with the dilapidated fence at our new house last year. They replaced the bad parts of the fence and built us two beautiful gates that are still working flawlessly a year later, and at a good price. During the entire experience they were pleasant, professional, courteous, and respectful of our time. We will definitely give them a call when we have any future work to do."

"It was a pleasure to work with Ismael. He was responsive, easy to communicate with, and finished the scope of work in a timely fashion. I wish I could duplicate him into a general contractor for all our other home needs! His sense of professionalism and ease to work with should make him highly sought after in the industry. Will 100% recommend NW Precision Painting to all others in need of someone for Exterior Painting."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. 

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

Choose based on climate, finish preference (glossy, matte), and durability. Tailored coatings also provide longevity.

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place.
