"Estimator arrived when expected. I was very impressed by his professionalism and knowledge. While I did not choose Nolan's for the deck which is my immediate need, I will most likely use them for the interior work."

"David is great. I'd call him again and recommend him to everyone. The project started and ended on time, even though the humidity was against us. He was on time every day and a pleasure to have in the house. Unfortunately, I talked to him a couple of times (great conversationalist) and even though I slowed him down; he plugged on in a great mode. They say you get what you pay for; I got way more than what I paid for. He wasn't the cheapest, he wasn't the most expensive and gave a veterans discounts. But the job turned out way better, then expected and turned what we had done into part of the show case of our house. He fixed holes, dents and cracks; sealed, put on 2 coats, and just made the paint sparkle (flat finish lol) If you need paint, David is the man to call."

"I was very anxious about having the interior house painted but Steve was wonderful helping me through the process. He is a hard worker, does quality work and is very kind, patient, honest and reliable person. He has a great personality, easy going, and his customer service is excellent. It was a real pleasure working with him. He is a rare gem to find a contractor that does all this but he is the real deal! So happy I made the right choice. 5 star plus A very satisfied customer, Gerrie"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

You should refinish your deck to maintain its appearance, durability, and longevity. Refinishing your deck protects the wood from foot traffic and the elements. It also helps extend its life span by keeping rot, mildew, and termites at bay. By maintaining your deck, you can avoid the cost of replacing your deck sooner. A refinished deck also looks great and restores some of its original beauty.

Adding a second coat of stain to wood can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.

Yes, it is generally a very good idea to seal your deck after pressure washing. Power washing removes not only dirt and debris but also a thin layer of wood, leaving the surface exposed and more susceptible to weathering. Sealing is almost always needed after this process. After a general cleaning, sealing isn't automatically necessary if the existing sealant is still intact. You can test the surface by placing a few drops of water on it. If the water beads up, the sealant is working. If it soaks into the wood, it's time to apply a new sealant. If it has been a few years, it's wise to remove the old sealant, wash the deck, and reseal for maximum protection.

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.

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.
