"We hired Dan Deneen to seal a raw deck attached to a newly built home. The job could not have been performed any better. Dan was a big help in selecting colors, proactively kept us informed about scheduling, promptly returned phone calls, and stuck to the estimate. We recommend."

"My wife was thrilled with the results! What a transformation! We experienced excellent service. the team was professional on phone and in person. Even junior members of the team were polite and used clean language. They were also thoughtful, when considering the weather and what effect it would have on their work. Price was competitive among other contractors. They removed our awnings permanently -our request- at no extra cost. They also suggested replacing the front gutter, and charged only for materials. Overall we highly recommend and would hire them again for any future work."

"They did a great job. Painted my windows and the facia on the house and carport. Also did my ceiling on my front porch. Did a great job and clean up. Planning on getting them back to paint my repaired chimney. All were professional."

"Absolutely splendid! He was wonderful. And super quick! I did not expect him to finish painting it as fast as he did. I’m a real Karen sometimes and I was looking all over the cabinets. Not a single stray run of paint. I mean really, he did great! ? I would hire him again for sure"

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

Constant exposure to inclement weather conditions can damage your deck, causing it to fade, warp, or crack over time. Regular maintenance keeps it looking and performing its best. That means giving it a good cleaning and applying a quality sealant or wood treatment to help defend against moisture, sun damage, and everyday wear.

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must. 

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. 

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.
