"It's October 18 and the painting is done. Our house is transformed. In what must have been one of the worst years for exterior home projects, we got a late start on asking for bids and getting responses. Grayson had painted our deck and porch during one of the few good weather spells earlier in the season. We were very happy with his work, but when we asked about the whole house job, he thought his calendar was too full to take it on. He reconsidered, and worked up another bid which like the porch job bid, was in concise and complete written form, including a description of the prep and some restoration work. He listened to what we wanted for the color change, and came up with precisely the right color recommendation. The job was held up for a number of weeks due to factors none of us could control (weather, family matters, etc). Grayson got a crew together and started the painting in early October. Grayson personally got the job going, and then oversaw all stages of the painting which was largely completed by crew member, Michael, who diligently kept at the job in spite of the uncooperative weather. We are very pleased with the quality of work, and the dedication and integrity shown by Grayson and Michael."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

You’ll want to avoid excessively hot or humid conditions, so it’s best to apply your stain in late spring to early fall. It's also important to watch the weather forecast and aim for days when there isn’t rain expected for at least three days. For new decks, allow the wood to season beforehand for at least four to eight weeks.

If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood’s grain for best results.

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.

Satin paint is generally considered a better choice for woodwork—including trim, baseboards, cabinets, and doors—than flatter finishes like eggshell or matte. Its soft sheen enhances architectural details and stands up well to frequent cleaning and daily wear. Compared to eggshell and matte finishes, satin is more durable for high-touch areas because it is less porous and doesn't absorb dirt as easily. Matte finishes, in particular, are prone to scuffs and are harder to clean, making them less practical for surfaces like doors and cabinets.
