"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."

"Highly recommend Painting Time for any paint project! We hired them to paint the exterior of our house/garage as well as a porch/deck treatment. Ricardo and his team were able to start the following week, were very punctual, and were done within a few days. They gave us a very fair price and did an amazing job! Ricardo was also very responsive to our questions over email all throughout the project, which made for a super smooth experience. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out!"

"I put in a request for a painter to paint my garage door, Jeff Hawkin with Texas Painting Company texted within minutes. He quoted a reasonable price, said he could do it the next day, and did just that. The work was great! I like a company who communicates quickly, efficiently, and completes the job quickly! My kind of project!"

"Oscar was great to work with and patient on my request for brick stain and picking colors while there is a national shortage. Hard workers. Good job. Not quite the level of detailed my ocd desires but Iâ ve never had a house painted before and it would take me months and months to do it that way! Ha. Would highly recommend."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.

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. 

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.

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

A five-gallon bucket of deck stain will cover roughly 875 square feet in a single coat. Actual coverage will vary based on the type of wood you’re staining and the number of coats. If you plan on doing multiple coats, multiply the square footage by the number of coats to calculate how many buckets of stain you’ll need.
