"Jessie and his team at Brentwood Homecraft provided an excellent experience, tailoring the deck to our specific needs from start to finish. The project was clearly defined and involved concrete work, framing, decking, railings, and steps. We also had some unexpected pest-related issues that needed to be addressed, and Jessie helped us determine the best path forward while being realistic and transparent about the additional work required. I trust Jessie and the Brentwood Homecraft team with any project because they genuinely care about the quality of their work and getting things done right. I would recommend Brentwood Homecraft to any of my neighbors. Their workmanship and project management are excellent, and it’s refreshing to find a contractor you can trust to follow through and do the job right."

"GG Remodeling are the pros you want to hire. We hired Gustavo and his crew for several projects to renovate our 1960s ranch, including interior and exterior construction, electrical work, as well as finishes such as flooring and trim. We have been impressed by his professionalism, friendliness, and skill. He completes jobs quickly, which, as a busy family, we truly appreciated, and always gave us plenty of updates. His pricing is also very competitive even though the quality of his work is on par with more expensive pros. We definitely hope to hire GG remodeling for more jobs in the future!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

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

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place.
