"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."

"These guys were incredible! Not only did they stain my deck with the proper product, but they replaced boards that were warped or rotten. They were reliable and traveled more than an hour to get here each day until they were finished. I would recommend them for any kind of paint job."

"We had not re-stained the door in over 9 years, so the wood was very dry and the original stain was badly faded.  My husband didn't have time to stain the door, so I was thrilled to see the offer through Angie's List.  Brad at Carnival did a great job of communicating with me.  We were getting a lot of rain, so the job had to be postponed several times - but Brad always let me know.  When his employee came, he carefully covered the floor, sanded the door, stained it, and cleaned up.  I was surprised that he didn't apply a sealer, but when I called Brad about it he told me that the stain had a built in sealer.  Still, he offered to come out and give our door a 2nd coat.  His employee came out a few days later to sand and re-stain the door - and it looks great.  I'd definitely use Carnival Custom Painting again.

"When I originally contacted Jessie's Painting to schedule our project and to discuss particulars, Jessie recommended using an oil-based stain.  Since neither the fence, nor the deck railing had ever been stained, an oil-based stain would penetrate the wood better and provide better protection.  We purchased the stain from Sherwin Williams and could not be happier with our experience or the quality of the stain.  The painter, Jimmy Ybarra, arrived on the morning of 2/3/16, as scheduled, and, after being shown what we wanted, began working on the deck railing. He was very professional, and meticulous about his work.  He kept his work area clean and orderly.  After finishing the railing, he began the job of staining our fence.  Being concerned with wind, he suggested brushing the fence instead of spraying it.  Brushing the stain on the fence took longer than we originally anticipated, but the results, in our opinion, were worth it.  We have  had many compliments from friends and neighbors.  I will use Jessie's Painting on our next project and can recommend them with confidence.

"If I could give Steve an A+, I would give it in every category. He and his helper Brian are the nicest, friendliest, most courteous and most professional contractors I’ve ever worked with. Steve’s tile work is beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Since their next job wasn’t starting for a few days, I asked them to repair some rotting wood on my deck stairs, replace some blades on a ceiling fan and replace an outside faucet. They are a talented duo and strive for perfection in all their work. I already have plans to hire them for another project."

"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

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.

Beyond liquid rubber, homeowners can use sealants, stains, membranes, or tapes as waterproofing options. Oil-based or water-based sealants soak into the wood, creating a moisture-resistant barrier. Waterproofing stains—available in transparent, semi-transparent, and solid colors—add both protection and style to your deck. For heavy-duty waterproofing, deck membranes and waterproof tapes can be applied under the deck boards to direct water away from the structure below. Whatever method you choose, clean and prep the deck first to ensure the best, longest-lasting results.

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.

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.

Costs depend on coating type, labor, site preparation, and required finishes.
