"Joe is very easy to work with and does excellent work. I will be pleased to hire him again to do more painting. He did the necessary power washing, stained our back deck and painted three garage doors. Very nice job."

"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!"

"good.  Little delay in making arrangements, but came in a timely manner and did a great job.  Thoroughly powerwashed the deck, let it dry and returned to stain and seal deck.  Looks great

"The slate was repaired with no problem. The dormer was painted initially, but it rained that day. After calling Mike later this summer and sending him some pics of the dormer, he sent his guys back down to put on a couple more coats. It looks good now."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

You don’t necessarily have to remove all the old paint before repainting your deck, but it’s best to remove as much as possible to ensure a smooth and long-lasting finish. Prioritize scraping off loose, peeling, or flaking paint, and sand down rough areas to create a smooth surface for the new paint to bond with.

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.

Beyond liquid rubber, homeowners can use sealants, stains, membranes, or tapes as waterproofing options. Oil-based or water-based sealants soak into the wood, creating a moisture-resistant barrier. Waterproofing stains—available in transparent, semi-transparent, and solid colors—add both protection and style to your deck. For heavy-duty waterproofing, deck membranes and waterproof tapes can be applied under the deck boards to direct water away from the structure below. Whatever method you choose, clean and prep the deck first to ensure the best, longest-lasting results.

When applying multiple coats, wait four to six hours for each coat to dry. Not waiting long enough can result in streaks, peeling, and uneven color. Plus, it will be more difficult to discern where the second coat has already been applied.

Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years.
