"We have used Hutton Painting for several projects. Each time the experience has been exceptional. Shane and Cole keep in touch throughout the process. The crews arrive on time and work the whole day - do not disappear for hours on end. They spent a lot of time prepping the deck sanding by hand as well as hand taping each metal spindle on the deck! The result is beautiful. The stain is even and looks great. I would highly recommend this company."

"My husband and I had a more complex project, which included painting the inside of a 5200 square feet house, staining beams and staircase, and adding additional work as the project went on. CertaPro was very professional, reliable, and took pride in their work. They were helpful in guiding us on our project in terms of what colors, stains, and additional ways to add extra character to our home. They even helped correct uneven walls, cracks, and baseboards. We are obsessed with how our home looks and will definitely use Craig and his team again! Definitely recommended!"

"

I was impressed with the quality of work performed by Robert's crew.
My front steps had a broken corner and were stained with rust. Tony Baker was the lead and did a fine job of repairing the concrete and matching the color of the resurfacing material to the house. The steps look great.

I had several damaged areas with the exterior stucco on my house caused by a water intrusion issue . Tony modified the the roof run-off to help mitigate future problems. The damaged stucco and wood trim was replaced and painted. The color was matched perfectly. Another job well done.
All work areas were cleaned up.
I would certainly hire this crew again.

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

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.

A wood deck requires annual cleaning and regular inspections for loose or broken boards, nails, and screws. It should be refinished by applying a stain or sealer every two to three years to protect the wood from water damage, rot, mildew, and sun fading. The exact frequency can depend on the climate and the deck's exposure to sun and moisture. If your deck is painted, it will need repainting approximately every 10 years. Signs that your deck needs refinishing include faded, splintering, or warping boards.

When choosing between deck stain or paint, knowing what will last longer is important. Deck paint lasts longer than deck stain. With deck paint, you can get up to 10 years of coverage before you need to reapply. With deck stain, that time is significantly shorter at two to three years. 

The best way to protect a deck is to prevent damage from UV light, water, mold, mildew, insects, and abrasive cleaning methods. Sweep regularly to prevent debris that hides bugs and traps moisture that can result in mold or mildew growth. Use a deck cleaner once a year to remove algae, mold, and mildew. Avoid using pressure washers on high, as they can damage the wood. Applying a deck sealant can protect the wood from UV and water damage, and adding shade can also reduce sunlight damage.

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.
