"Todd and his wife were great. Honest, fair, on time, very knowledgeable, reasonable pricing with great attention to detail. Work was done as promised and within the discussed timeline. Todd was always available to talk and didn’t take the rushed approach. I felt at ease working with Todd and crew, knowing that they intend to do the job right the first time. The area was left clean and Todd takes the extra time to ensure you are happy with the finished project. The exterior of the home was neglected for many decades and was in very rough shape. Todd and his crew worked magic. Would recommend to anyone!"

"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

For homes in areas with extreme weather, high heat, or intense sun exposure, high-quality acrylic paint is the best option. Acrylic paint is durable, resistant to both heat and cold, and provides a protective barrier with excellent UV resistance. For best results, look for acrylics that contain natural earth pigments, which are better suited for resisting sun damage. While oil-based paint is also durable, it can be prone to fading in high heat and can become too viscous to apply easily in cold temperatures. Additionally, choosing a neutral or light color like gray, beige, or white can help, as these colors absorb less heat than darker shades.

Always wait until the morning dew has dried before you stain your deck. The stain needs a fully dry surface to sink into.

No, you don't need to stain Ipe decking, although you can if you want to change the color. You will, however, need to apply a UV coating if you don't want the natural color to fade. Speak to a deck staining specialist near you to discuss the best options if you want to stain your decking. And remember that you’ll need to seal your Ipe wood deck annually to protect it from scratches and Mother Nature.

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.

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.
