"This company is the real deal! Although I am usually hesitant to go with a company that has reviews online, I understand that is our world. Within 30 minutes, I had a call and within 2 days, they were at my house with an estimate. Our deck was transformed and the results are absolutely amazing. Their attention to detail, professionalism, courtesy and work ethic are the best. I will recommend them to anyone who needs a deck power wash, stripping and staining. They are the best in the business and I have the pictures to prove it----actually they have the pictures as well so ask to see them. We are back to enjoying our deck and are so proud of the appearance! Trust them."

"Rays painting did an excellent job. They fixed loose boards and replaced bad siding before painting. Ray and his crew were prompt and courteous. They cleaned up after themelves and didn't leave a mess. Very happy with there work and have had numerous compliments from friends and family."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Whether to paint or stain a deck depends on your personal preference for appearance and budget. Stain provides a natural look with a range of undertones, is typically less expensive, and may only require one coat, but it does not last as long as paint. Paint offers a sleeker finish with a virtually unlimited color palette. Both options will protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear.

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.

It is not always necessary to remove old stain before restaining a deck. If the previous stain is in good condition and is compatible with the new stain, you may be able to apply a new coat after thorough cleaning. However, if the old stain is in bad condition, flaking, or peeling, it is best to remove it completely to ensure an even surface and proper adhesion for the new coat. Staining over a damaged layer can lead to an uneven finish and poor penetration. For best results, test a small area first and consult the stain manufacturer's guidelines.

It's okay to walk on a newly painted deck after about four to six hours as long as the weather has been dry. Be sure to wait at least 24 hours before you place any outdoor furniture or grills on a freshly painted deck, though.

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.
