"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."

"Chase is very knowledgeable and personable. He talked to us with good knowledge of the qualities of different types of stains for our fence. He talked us through the whole process. He showed up when he said he would and was very open and honest through the whole process. He completed the job on time. We were impressed enough with him that we are already planning indoor woodworking projects with him for winter"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Beyond liquid rubber, homeowners can use sealants, stains, membranes, or tapes as waterproofing options. Oil-based or water-based sealants soak into the wood, creating a moisture-resistant barrier. Waterproofing stains—available in transparent, semi-transparent, and solid colors—add both protection and style to your deck. For heavy-duty waterproofing, deck membranes and waterproof tapes can be applied under the deck boards to direct water away from the structure below. Whatever method you choose, clean and prep the deck first to ensure the best, longest-lasting results.

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.

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.

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. 

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for.
