"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 got in touch with this person on the recommendation of a friend. He showed me examples of his work and gave me an estimate. Once we agreed on the price, we arranged for him to paint my 5-bedroom house. It’s very clear that he’s a master at his craft. He’s punctual and works very neatly. He’s definitely someone I’ll stay in touch with if I need his services again in the future. I highly recommend him."

"We had a great experience with Papa's Painting. I attempted to paint the area myself and quickly realized I needed a professional. Mike, the owner, came to our home promptly and quoted a very reasonable price to prime and paint a large area. He did all the work himself, and did a beautiful job. Mike called to confirm when he was coming over, and arrived on time. He is a pleasure to do business with. I highly recommend this company, everything went smoothly and we are very happy with the work."

"JDN Painting recently completed painting the exterior of our three story house in Highland Park. We could not be more pleased with the results. Jordan did a beautiful job. He paid meticulous attention to detail. The process was seamless from beginning to end. The project was started on time, and was actually finished a day early. We hired JDN to paint our house because of their five star reviews, and were pleased to learn that their expertise does not stop with painting. After viewing their portfolio, we were so impressed that we engaged JDN to rebuild our twenty-five foot long privacy fence, as well as repair and stain our deck. This company is the real deal."

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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 best time to paint your deck is when temperatures are neither too cold (below 60 degrees) nor too hot (above 85 degrees). Always paint your deck when there’s no risk of rain. For fast-drying paint like acrylic or latex, ensure your deck can dry for at least four hours. Oil-based paints take longer to dry and may require 48 hours to completely cure.

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths

A five-gallon bucket of deck stain will cover roughly 875 square feet in a single coat. Actual coverage will vary based on the type of wood you’re staining and the number of coats. If you plan on doing multiple coats, multiply the square footage by the number of coats to calculate how many buckets of stain you’ll need.
