"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."

"Brad kept us informed as to what day his crew would show up. We expected them early in the day (it is July in south Texas, so we assumed they'd get an early start & quit early), but the two-man crew knocked out the job over the space of 2 work days (3 days total time). And that included wrapping up on the 4th of July! All the concerns we identified were addressed before the crew left. I sincerely hope Carnival Custom Painting is still in business the next time our house needs repainting. We'd hire them again in a heartbeat!"

"The owner and the painters were very professional and friendly. The workers started by cleaning the surfaces to be painted and re-caulking everything. They painted the siding one color, and the fascia, soffits, entry doors and garage door a different color. They replaced several trim boards. I also had them reseal the cedar boards on the deck cover. The cleanup was great."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.

Yes, you must thoroughly clean your deck before staining. If you don't, dirt, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped between the wood and the new stain. This not only looks unsightly but also prevents the stain from penetrating the wood properly, reducing its ability to protect the deck from weather and UV rays. As a result, the stain won't last as long or look as good. Any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage. Always wait at least 48 hours after cleaning for the wood to dry completely before applying stain.

The opposite is actually true: Wood stains tend to appear lighter when they’re fully dry. However, stains may darken as they weather and oxidize with age. Stains might also darken on surfaces left in direct sunlight, as UV rays can break down pigment particles and cause them to darken over time.

You don't need to seal your deck after painting it because most exterior paints are waterproof and weather-resistant. While stealing is not necessary, it can add an additional layer of protection.

Yes, staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan, typically by five to 10 years. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and rot over time. Applying a treatment creates a protective shield that helps prevent splintering, fading, and decay, preserving the wood's strength and appearance. A combination stain and sealer often provides the best protection, as it soaks into the wood grain rather than just sitting on top. This offers superior defense against UV damage and rot and lasts longer than a sealer alone. To maintain the wood's natural look, consider using a near-translucent stain. You should plan to reapply the stain or sealer every two to three years.
