"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."

"I just moved to a new home, and I knew my deck needed maintenance but wasn't exactly sure what needed to be done. The railing seemed a little loose, and the wood was really dry and cracked. I had a couple bids to get my deck stained, but I also wanted to know what to do to correct the loose rail. The other bidders specialized in just painting and staining, so they didn't have input on the railing. The team from superpainters recommended some board replacement, which was what I thought needed to be done. I decided to go that route with a stain and replacement of rotten boards. We replaced all floorboards, and the 4x4's holding the rail, and sanded and stained the deck. When they started taking off the rail I stuck my finger into one of the rail boards and it was basically mush, then I went down and peeked at the floor boards that were removed, which were beginning to weaken to the point that the ends disintegrated just by flicking my finger at the wood. It was an accident waiting to happen, and my deck is up 1 story so I am so thankful that I went the route of replacing boards, and not just a stain. I asked them to find a stain that matches the natural wood color, and they sent me pictures from the store and recommended this clear honey-tinted color, which resulted in a gorgeous 2 tone deck due to the older wood being a darker hue and the newer replacement wood being lighter. Everybody that comes to my place compliments my deck. I just went to a neighborhood gathering and the new neighbors I haven't met asked me...are you the one with the deck that just got refinished because it is gorgeous. My goal was to be safe, but I am so happy with how beautiful it turned out."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

For the longest-lasting exterior paint, consider acrylic or enamel (oil-based) paints. Acrylic paints, including acrylic latex and acrylic enamel, are known for withstanding harsh weather and sun exposure. Enamel-based paints are also one of the most durable options available. While latex paint is common, it typically has a shorter lifespan than acrylic or oil-based options. The paint's finish also affects its durability; a higher gloss finish is generally more durable. For resistance to moisture and cracking, matte and satin finishes can be effective, while a high-gloss acrylic or oil-based paint offers a combination of maximum longevity and durability.

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.

When choosing between deck stain or paint, knowing what will last longer is important. Deck paint lasts longer than deck stain. With deck paint, you can get up to 10 years of coverage before you need to reapply. With deck stain, that time is significantly shorter at two to three years

Wood stain is not flammable after it dries. The solvent in wood stain is what causes the liquid form to be highly flammable, but the stain drying process involves the solvents dissolving, which leaves behind a non-flammable product on your wood project. Wood stain is, however, flammable before you apply it, so you should always store partially full cans and used wood stain rags away from sources of heat and open flames.

Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint.
