"MD Painting was reliable and professional, and I couldn't be happier with the results. They were easy to work with and clearly wanted to be sure to complete the project to our satisfaction. Mario was outstanding in his wllingness to go above and beyond what was expected. His friendly and positive attitude were so appreciated and he and his crew worked hard to do a great job. It will be my pleasure to refer MD Painting to my neighbors, friends and family."

"From the beginning, when I met Mr. Jim Hernandez, he and the other staff members were very courteous and professional. Materials and cost were explained and agreed upon. The job was delayed due to several days of continuous rain. They made sure that the job would be done when it was clear. Once the job was begun, I was shown the damage. I was shown the before and after pictures. I was very pleased with the work. They did a great and professional job. I can rest assured that the new roof will last a long time and prevent my home from being damaged by inclement weather. I will recommend Roofing Solutions to anyone who needs a roof replacement."

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. 

Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years.

Wood stain is not flammable after it dries. The solvent in wood stain is what causes the liquid form to be highly flammable, but the stain drying process involves the solvents dissolving, which leaves behind a non-flammable product on your wood project. Wood stain is, however, flammable before you apply it, so you should always store partially full cans and used wood stain rags away from sources of heat and open flames.

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.

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.
