"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!"

"Jesse painted the exterior of my home in 2004 and they did such a fantastic job that I called them back for a repeat performance. My house looks like new again! From start to finish the project was terrific. Jesse came by himself and offered the most competitive bid, continued to stay in touch prior to and during the job. He and his crew were very gracious, pleasant, accommodating, and professional. He also arranged for one of his team to handle some interior repair/repainting work which involved floating and taping. This is a process that requires precision and patience. The work was so flawless that I can't see where the damage was to begin with! You won't go wrong with AAA Jesse's House Painting & Remodeling! I'll definitely call him again and you should call him, too!"

"The painting went better than expected. We had a few hiccups in getting scheduled but it went smoothly after they got started. The work done was exceptional including some minor drywall repair and priming and painting. They were able to cover a number of stains and blemishes as well. the walls and ceiling look brand new despite being nearly twenty years old. We will definitely use them to paint a few other areas in the future."

"The company had very good workers. Special thanks to Chris and Octavio. Our patio was fixed and our house was painted nicely. The roofers did a very good job. The area was cleaned nicely when they finished. Overall, we are very satisfied with their work although they still have minor gutter adjustment to perform."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths

Whether to paint or stain a deck depends on your personal preference for appearance and budget. Stain provides a natural look with a range of undertones, is typically less expensive, and may only require one coat, but it does not last as long as paint. Paint offers a sleeker finish with a virtually unlimited color palette. Both options will protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear.

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

It’s a good idea to sand your porch before painting. This will remove loose or chipped paint and debris, and give you a cleaner surface so that your new paint goes on smoothly. But if the existing surface is in good condition, it’s not necessary to sand your porch before you paint.

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must.
