"The SparKlean team was outstanding. They arrived on time, worked ho*** ** my flooring project for two days straight, and even purchased products on my behalf that we’re needed. They were very kind, easy to work with, and I would recommend them to anyone. Their work was outstanding. They focused on the small details as well as the more extensive nuisances. Also, their pricing was outstanding! I hadn’t found anyone that even competed with their price. Do yourself a favor and give them a call; you won’t be disappointed. I couldn’t have gotten a better deal or result anywhere else!"

"I purchased the two hour special on Angie's list and it went very well.  I was sent an email notification with the contact number for the provider and setting a date was no problem.  Mark came to my home on time, as scheduled, and did a great job.  I had one small deck on which I wanted the lattice just hung from hooks because my crawl space access is beneath it and Mark did a very nice job with that.  He also caulked some solar lights on the stair posts for me because, frankly, I wasn't quite sure what to do with them.  All in all a great experience start to finish and I plan to have Mark come again for other chores.

"The project went well! Eric was punctual and did an excellent job replacing my old deck. This deck is built so much better than my old deck! He made an excellent suggestion about how to place the steps, so that it maximized my backyard space...something I wouldn't have thought of doing! Some of the siding on my house was damaged in places where the old deck had been, so Eric offered to replace the damaged siding. At the last minute, I decided I wanted a gate for the deck (installed at the top of the steps, since I have dogs). He built one and installed it without complaints!!! I will definitely contact him when future projects come up!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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. 

It’s often best to spray on deck sealer. Sprayers can apply sealant more quickly and evenly than rolling while still enabling you to reach tight spaces. When using a sprayer, always use a low-pressure setting at a close distance to ensure an even application. Avoid using sprayers on windy days.

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.

Staining a deck is typically less expensive upfront than painting. The cost to stain a deck professionally averages around $850, with most homeowners paying between $550 and $1,250, depending on the deck's size. A DIY staining project can cost less than $100. The cost to paint a deck ranges from $500 to $2,000. While the initial cost of staining is lower, it's important to consider long-term expenses. Paint can last up to 10 years, whereas stain needs to be reapplied every few years, which could lead to higher costs over time.

It’s best to use an exterior latex acrylic paint to promote maximum adhesion to composite decking. This flexible paint type can better cope with the natural expansion and contraction that can occur with composite deck boards. Oil-based paints won’t adhere as effectively and are more likely to crack and peel as the boards flex. Testing whether your chosen paint will stick on an inconspicuous section or a spare board is a good idea.
