"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.

"Cui and his crew were very friendly and respectable. They painted our home exterior and stained an arbor. He was the best price we found for both projects. Both projects were completed in 4 days. When I got off work after they had already gone for the day any questions I had during the project I took pictures and texted Cui. He was very responsive and helpful. My wife and I are very satisfied with their work and would recommend them. Good work at a Good price."

Deck Staining FAQs, 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

When choosing between deck stain or paint, knowing what will last longer is important. Deck paint lasts longer than deck stain. With deck paint, you can get up to 10 years of coverage before you need to reapply. With deck stain, that time is significantly shorter at two to three years. 

Apply a wood stain or sealant to properly maintain a wood deck railing and keep it looking new. Sealants protect wood from moisture and weathering. Regularly inspect the railing for loose screws, damaged balusters, and other signs of wear to make timely repairs. Routinely clean the railing using mild soap, water, and a soft bristle brush.

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.

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.
