"We love how our deck now looks. We have a 33 year old wood deck which we wanted to keep. They replaced rotted boards & brought the steps to todays standards. We did two tone stain with the rail & floor natural & the rails, steps & lattice a darker sable stain. It takes time but weâ ll worth having patience. Very reasonable pricing. Thank you Greg for making our deck the best in the neighborhood!"

Dave and his crew did an outstanding job.

He was very punctual to return my request for services. Very patiently answered all of my questions and concerns. Stained decks look great. Lawn and gardens look super. He knows his business. Highly recommended!  Will use him and his team again on future projects.

"Scott Smith is a knowledgeable, skillful builder who has very high standards of performance for himself and his team. When I called to ask about his availability, he called back in a very timely manner, and we were able to set up an appointment in the same week. He was easy to talk to, he listened closely and communicated clearly about the work he would do and the cost of the the projects. His prices were fair. He also made it clear that he would be sure the job was done carefully and to my liking. The projects he completed included powerwashing and staining my deck and stairways leading to and from the deck. He also repaired some damaged drywall in the laundry room. I am very pleased with his work, and I highly recommend Scott for any building projects."

"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.

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, beginners can use a paint sprayer, but there is a learning curve. It's important to go slowly, read the instructions thoroughly, and spend some time learning the technique. Watching tutorial videos for your specific paint sprayer model can be very helpful. Before starting your main project, practice on a scrap surface to get used to the sprayer and avoid common issues like overspraying, which can cause drips, bubbles, and other imperfections. For safety, always wear a mask and gloves, and be careful not to touch the sprayer's tip when it's in use, particularly with high-powered airless sprayers.

Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint. 

Always wait until the morning dew has dried before you stain your deck. The stain needs a fully dry surface to sink into.

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.

To make sure the paint won’t bubble as you apply it, make sure to paint on a day that’s cooler than 85 degrees Fahrenheit. When the temperature is too high, the paint won’t dry evenly, which can result in bubbles forming on the surface. Another way to prevent paint from bubbling is to clean the walls, apply primer, and let everything dry completely before you begin.
