"Jake displayed the usual expectations including professionalism, responsible and was respectful of my home. He has excellent communication skills with simple and clear explanations. It was very easy to get a hold of him, talk to and schedule all tasks. He completed a total small bathroom remodel with meticulous drywall & painting, electrical & plumbing work in 2 weeks. It also included 2 unexpected issues/challenges that popped up which he resolved, one with a beautiful custom fix, all done efficiently and keeping on budget. Jake offered great advice including design idea suggestions while still listening to my ideas & concerns. Other specific tasks he completed for me were reviving a tired looking back deck with new paint, installing a new fireplace mantel & lighting fixtures. I am thrilled to have 'found' Jake who exceeded my expectations with his level of service, quality work and fair prices. I highly recommend, completely trust him and will hire him again!"

"Antonio did a wonderful job. We’ve worked with him on a couple of projects now. For this project, he stained and painted our previously oak steps. He is always great to work with; meticulous, hard working, great attention to detail, timely! They came beautiful and we would definitively recommend him and will be using him for future projects!"

"Mike was honest about the state of our roof - estimate was free and he told us that we'd only get 3-5 more years more out of the one side of the roof, even with maintenance. I found that very honest of him, because saying that opened up the possibility that we'd forgo the repair and replace the whole roof instead. Unfortunately that was not an option for us so we opted for the repair. After he came out, the leak was fixed. And now we know we have to save up for a new roof ASAP."

"Wow!!! It's been a long time since we have had someone the caliber of Nate come to do work on our home. He returned our phone call almost immediately...arrived exactly on time...got to work immediately...was thoughtful, professional and kept us in the loop the entire time. And the end result? PERFECT deck steps!!!! He was faced with a problem, quickly analyzed the situation and resolved it and now we have a beautifully fixed deck with some very sturdy amazing steps!! So grateful for Nate's work ethic and skills as a craftsman...like I said, it's been a long time since my husband and I hired a handyman that actually did what he said he was going to do and then went above and beyond to do an excellent job!!! Thank you, Nate - we highly recommend you!!!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.

When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

Ideally, it's best to stain your dock once per year. Applying stain doesn't just keep it looking nice and new; it also helps extend the dock’s lifespan. Since you want to ensure water levels are at their lowest, it's best to have this project done by a professional dock repair service in the cooler autumn or early winter months. 

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.
