"Prompt, reliable, and professional service. Good communication with Steve via email and Dennis on site before, during, and after the project was completed. Fair price for the job and good workmanship. I have already recommended them to others. I had them replace the railing, treads, and bottom platform of an outdoor staircase leading up to a second story deck."

"Neil Tufano is exceptional. We have had many people do work at our home and he is easily the best. He cleaned, sanded and stained our deck. He didn't use our hoses to clean up so there was no paint (stain) in our sink, driveway or paths to the house. He cleans everything in his trailer. He arrives on time and communicates effectively to keep you informed of progress and or delays. He didn't leave tools or rags around the deck and provides little extras such as extra bolts to provide better support to railings. He is very conscious of your time and schedules around any conflicts you may have. I highly recommend Neil and I have hired him to do 2 more projects for us. Great Guy and very reasonably priced. Customer focused. Hire him once and you'll ask him back. Guaranteed."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

You don't need to seal your deck after painting it because most exterior paints are waterproof and weather-resistant. While stealing is not necessary, it can add an additional layer of protection.

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.

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

It’s necessary for paint to completely dry before exposure to rain, and that drying time varies by the type of paint used. Oil-based paint takes 6 to 8 hours to dry on average, meaning that’s the minimum time needed between the last brush stroke and the first raindrop. Latex paint dries faster at around 1 hour, and acrylic paint is even quicker, usually drying in about 30 minutes. If rain is in the forecast, check the paint manufacturer's details before laying on a new coat. 

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.
