"Marco and Tico refinished our 1400 sq ft deck which had been painted with poor quality paint and was all flaking off. It had to be sanded down to bare wood. The crew from Magic Painting arrived and got to work. They were very professional and responsive to our questions They did lots of hand sanding to finish what the power sander left. After applying new stain, they hand wiped the whole surface to remove any residual stain. On the whole, they did a terrific job and I would hire them again."

"Mike was top notch from front to back with his communication and professionalism. It took 2.5 weeks from initial interest to completion, and that was with completely open flexibility on my part. The quality is top of the line, and if I need a deck built in the future I am going to give Mike another call."

"I highly recommend Hamada Prestige 1 Fine Finishes and Painting LLC for the outstanding work they did on my home in Bend, Oregon. In February 2022, they did an amazing painting job, including custom stain and glaze finishes in my living room. They completely transformed my beams and posts, making them look absolutely beautiful, and my doors turned out fantastic as well. They also painted the entire house and left it looking stunning. What I appreciated most was how clean and organized they were throughout the entire process, along with the exceptional quality of their work. I was so happy with the results that I hired them again in December 2025 to update the look of my dining area. They transformed the previously dull colors on the soffits and beams using their unique technique, giving them a more classic and elegant style. Once again, the results exceeded my expectations. I definitely recommend them and will absolutely use their services again in the future."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint. 

It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the deck refinishing process. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.

Costs depend on coating type, labor, site preparation, and required finishes.

A five-gallon bucket of deck stain will cover roughly 875 square feet in a single coat. Actual coverage will vary based on the type of wood you’re staining and the number of coats. If you plan on doing multiple coats, multiply the square footage by the number of coats to calculate how many buckets of stain you’ll need.

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.
