"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

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.

You’ll need to wait until the surface is completely dry, which can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours under optimal conditions. The waiting period depends on several factors, including the type of siding and the weather conditions. Trying to paint before the surface is completely dry can trap moisture under the paint, leading to bubbling, blistering, and mold growth.

The staining or painting process involves cleaning the deck, sanding surfaces, applying a primer (if needed), and carefully applying stain or paint for an even, lasting finish.

Always sand a deck before repainting so the wood is smooth and ready for paint. While you do not need to fully remove paint before repainting, sanding helps remove any areas with weather and sun damage. Sanding also helps remove chipped or flaking paint and opens the wood pores to improve paint adhesion.

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.
