"My husband hired Stanley to stain our home. Were I think he did a awesome job. I found him very respectful and professional. He offered to customize our shutters, Because I didn't like the old ones. He also replace my old lights for me, And stain my porch furniture to keep the theme of our home. Stanley by far. Did a great job, And I would recommend help to anyone."

"Mar Painting Group is the best contractor we’ve had in the two decades we’ve lived in Highland Forest. The attention to detail was amazing. The men showed up early and worked 10 to 12 hour days. They painted our home so efficiently that it looks as if we have a completely new house. We have had the house painted four other times and never had such a professionsl job. The price was reasonable too. If you want the best and most efficient painting work, call Mar. You will be glad you did."

"Perfect Line Painting pulled it off and the house looks "amazing," as Sandy said it would. We had to get use to their method... we expected a full house wash, then a full caulking, then painting. Instead, they did it section-by-section. Can't complain at all though, the neighbors all say the house looks great and wanted contact info. The entire crew was very polite, courteous and pleasant to deal with."

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

Many decking oils can help slow down algae growth, but they don't completely stop it. These oils work by sealing the wood, which reduces moisture and, therefore, algae growth. Some decking oils also help protect against UV damage, but they need to be reapplied according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the decking stays protected.

The best way to protect a deck is to prevent damage from UV light, water, mold, mildew, insects, and abrasive cleaning methods. Sweep regularly to prevent debris that hides bugs and traps moisture that can result in mold or mildew growth. Use a deck cleaner once a year to remove algae, mold, and mildew. Avoid using pressure washers on high, as they can damage the wood. Applying a deck sealant can protect the wood from UV and water damage, and adding shade can also reduce sunlight damage.

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.

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. 

Rags used with oil-based stains are highly flammable and can spontaneously combust in the right conditions. To reduce the fire risk, throw them in a metal container after use and add rocks on top to secure them. Add an inch of water and seal the container. Take the rags in the container to a hazardous waste factory as soon as possible.
