"Derek and team have been to our house twice and soon a third time. Derek came the night we moved in and gave us a quote for some urgent work. The team fit us into the schedule and knocked out one large room and a fire place. The quality of work was AMAZING. They just came back and did our dining room, entry way and three other rooms. Will have them back again in spring to finish the remainder of the house. I highly recommend their services! PS - they also do deck staining and tile. Will be inquiring about that as well."
"Fabiano was a pleasure to work with. He was punctual when showing up to provide an estimate and to the project itself. He gave me accurate time lines and updates in real time when fixing my deck. After comparing 4 other contractors to replace my deck, Fabiano gave the best quote with no surprises and the estimate was spot on! I would absolutely recommend Fabiano for your next project"
"Mike and his crew did an amazing job. Mike's advice was valuable in helping us chose paint and color, the work was impeccable, fast and He even helped rebuild the wood ramp to our home and pained that as well. I have already suggested him to friends needing a pained deck. and will hire him for any future needs."

"Jose was extremely personable & experienced. He and his assistant cleaned up after completion of the job. Our deck was in dire need of attention and I am well satisfied with CertaPro Painters of the Lehigh Valley. They scheduled us quickly and actually finished before the proposed time frame.
Some areas were not scraped or sanded too well but Jose said that he was taking care to not make matters worse due to the age of the wood."

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.
Staining a deck is typically less expensive upfront than painting. The cost to stain a deck professionally averages around $850, with most homeowners paying between $550 and $1,250, depending on the deck's size. A DIY staining project can cost less than $100. The cost to paint a deck ranges from $500 to $2,000. While the initial cost of staining is lower, it's important to consider long-term expenses. Paint can last up to 10 years, whereas stain needs to be reapplied every few years, which could lead to higher costs over time.
Painting a damaged pool deck is not recommended if the substrate is crumbling, cracking, spalling, or otherwise actively deteriorating. Continuing deterioration will result in the paint also delaminating or flaking off the damaged surface. Minor damage such as chips or hairline cracks that are not actively deteriorating can often be repaired enough to paint over. A damaged pool deck with a lot of cracking and deterioration should be replaced for best results.
Pressure-treated wood lasts at least 10 years, but with the right care and treatment, it can last as long as 40 years. Painting the boards is one way to increase the lifespan of pressure-treated wood. The layer of paint provides extra protection for the wood against the exterior elements and insects.
When applying multiple coats, wait four to six hours for each coat to dry. Not waiting long enough can result in streaks, peeling, and uneven color. Plus, it will be more difficult to discern where the second coat has already been applied.
