"The 3 man crew did excellent work for us. Marcos actually came out on the Fourth of July as we asked to give us our estimate! They did a fast and neat job painting two colors on the outside and trim on our older one and a half story home which required a good power washing first. We took up Marcos' recommendation on the window and corner trim paint application and it made our house look so much nicer. For a moderate charge they also power washed our hardscape and replaced a rickety deck step with a strong, well built, and much safer one. During the course of their work in the searing July heat , a Thursday and Friday, we asked about an additional sheetrock repair in our kitchen area. We are still amazed looking at it how the well the The Wizards of all sheetrock repairers installed the patch and matched the wall paint and texture exactly to what was there. Admirably skills which made us very happy. Our place was all spruced up in time for a quickly planned outdoor micro wedding ceremony for a family member. Thank your Marcos and team. We are glad it was you who responded to our online request. We will look M&G Painting up for our next project."

"The team Ruben did a great job of installing laminate flooring planks on the stairs, second story level, and in the bathroom. They also installed the bathroom vanity, hardware, lights, and mirror, and painted them. Reasonable, on time, listened to what you wanted. Great job; I highly recommend it."

Deck Staining questions, 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. 

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.

You should refinish your deck to maintain its appearance, durability, and longevity. Refinishing your deck protects the wood from foot traffic and the elements. It also helps extend its life span by keeping rot, mildew, and termites at bay. By maintaining your deck, you can avoid the cost of replacing your deck sooner. A refinished deck also looks great and restores some of its original beauty.

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.

Liquid rubber is great for waterproofing, but it can damage your deck if it’s not applied correctly. First, it can trap moisture in the wood if the deck isn’t completely dry before application.  Second, applying it too thickly can create a heavy, rubbery surface layer that peels and cracks under fluctuating temperatures. For the best results, ensure the wood is completely dry before application, and apply the liquid rubber in thin, even coats. A quick inspection every now and then will help you catch any issues early, keeping your deck protected and looking its best.
