"Jeff and Donny did an excellent job staining our replacement two-level deck with pergola, rails and steps. We chose Cabot semi-transparent stain and the results are beautiful. Jeff gave us a fair quote and arranged the project date. Communication was great. We will look forward to more home projects with Jeff in the future."

"Randy Hudson did a great job of repairing/replacing a rotted deck post on my dad?s deck.  He was very good at assessing the damage and work necessary to correct the problem.  He was good about explaining the process to us so everyone understood what was to be expected.  Randy was very friendly and completed the work as planned and scheduled.  He also did a great job of installing new lattice for the deck skirting as part of the project.  I thought the price charged was fair and reasonable and we have asked him to give us an estimate to pressure wash and paint the deck and other house trim.

"I had seen Lisa Coles work over the years around Staunton, mostly in the downtown district where she was turning back time on structures. Using an artistic eye, she was painting buildings both large and small....with emphasis on reproducing that structure's history. I had saved enough money to put into re-doing my home and called Lisa for the outside job. She was there with a fantastic estimate by the next afternoon. I hired her on the spot and she told me it was time to decide on colors. I had a vague idea of what I wanted but Lisa was able to guide me with her knowledge of color, what looks right, and what compliments the landscape around the house. My house has many panels and original windows, with a multitude of gingerbread trim. She dropped off sample colors and got started with in 2 days of our first meeting. She worked tirelessly with her quiet unassuming crew. She was onboard not just as "the painter" but she helped identify what fixtures and hardware would best accent the home, to me that was above and beyond. I felt like she was more of a partner than a contractor. She was truly interested in the outcome. It is FABULOUS! It's historically accurate, stunning and a jewl box to be admired. I smile when I pull up to the house, daily. At one point she even painted a poured, rugged cement wall to look like faux stone. Not asked for by me at all....a brilliant suprise and why I hired her...for her artistic eye... I am glad that I chose Lisa. I now feel as though I have my very own piece of her art. My very own "Lisa Coles" to be enjoyed for years to come by myself and my neighbors. Now it's my job to keep the lawn and garden looking just as good, which means I have to get off here and mulch then mow lol!"

"Dale was very responsive to my request for an estimate. he gave it right away, and it was a fair price. He power washed my deck and staircase and stained it. It looks great, and he was very professional and pleasant to work with. He is new to the area, and needs to get the word out. I would highly recommend him."

"G.W. Services pressure washed the entire house, move furniture ands plants off two decks; painted the decks, railing and strairs. They also waterproofed my shed deck and stairs. They worked quickly and efficiently. Everything was done well. And at a reasonable price. Highly recommended."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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

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

DIY staining or painting is manageable with proper preparation, including safety measures, necessary tools, and adherence to safe weather conditions for application.

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

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.
