"We recently had our deck done and they referred us to Dexpert to have it stained. Our deck was stained today and it looks absolutely beautiful. It was stained by Joshua and he did a great job on behalf of Dexpert. Our deck is only 250sq ft but we were very pleased with the cost for the job."

"These guys were incredible! Not only did they stain my deck with the proper product, but they replaced boards that were warped or rotten. They were reliable and traveled more than an hour to get here each day until they were finished. I would recommend them for any kind of paint job."

"We had not re-stained the door in over 9 years, so the wood was very dry and the original stain was badly faded.  My husband didn't have time to stain the door, so I was thrilled to see the offer through Angie's List.  Brad at Carnival did a great job of communicating with me.  We were getting a lot of rain, so the job had to be postponed several times - but Brad always let me know.  When his employee came, he carefully covered the floor, sanded the door, stained it, and cleaned up.  I was surprised that he didn't apply a sealer, but when I called Brad about it he told me that the stain had a built in sealer.  Still, he offered to come out and give our door a 2nd coat.  His employee came out a few days later to sand and re-stain the door - and it looks great.  I'd definitely use Carnival Custom Painting again.

"Cui and his crew were very friendly and respectable. They painted our home exterior and stained an arbor. He was the best price we found for both projects. Both projects were completed in 4 days. When I got off work after they had already gone for the day any questions I had during the project I took pictures and texted Cui. He was very responsive and helpful. My wife and I are very satisfied with their work and would recommend them. Good work at a Good price."

"When I originally contacted Jessie's Painting to schedule our project and to discuss particulars, Jessie recommended using an oil-based stain.  Since neither the fence, nor the deck railing had ever been stained, an oil-based stain would penetrate the wood better and provide better protection.  We purchased the stain from Sherwin Williams and could not be happier with our experience or the quality of the stain.  The painter, Jimmy Ybarra, arrived on the morning of 2/3/16, as scheduled, and, after being shown what we wanted, began working on the deck railing. He was very professional, and meticulous about his work.  He kept his work area clean and orderly.  After finishing the railing, he began the job of staining our fence.  Being concerned with wind, he suggested brushing the fence instead of spraying it.  Brushing the stain on the fence took longer than we originally anticipated, but the results, in our opinion, were worth it.  We have  had many compliments from friends and neighbors.  I will use Jessie's Painting on our next project and can recommend them with confidence.

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

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. 

Most gutter painting pros also specialize in complete home exterior painting. You may save by making your gutter painting part of the cost to paint the exterior of a house in its entirety. Many people have all parts of their home exterior painted simultaneously to keep everything looking equally fresh. Consider having walls, trim, porches, shutters, and doors painted as well.

The need for a topcoat on a painted deck depends on various factors, primarily the type of paint used and your desired level of protection. Many premium deck paint formulations are self-sealing, eliminating the necessity for an additional topcoat. These paints often have built-in additives that substantially protect against moisture, UV rays, and everyday wear and tear.

Various kinds of substances and deck preservatives act as protective coatings for wood to prevent rot, which is caused by water getting into the wood and creating cracks and splits. Stains, paints, and sealants are the three best options to protect your wood, but there are also oils, varnishes, and waxes available. You’ll need to reapply sealant at least once per year, and you should inspect your wood deck regularly to look for signs of damage or general wear and tear.

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.
