"Christian and Nicolas did a very lovely, precise painting of my precarious interior stairwell area. They chose high quality paint that covered well, there were no drips left over, and they did a great job cleaning up afterward. Their mood was happy and they were courteous and professional to work with."

"Kimber Construction did a GREAT job for us when we had problems with the decking material. They not only had the decking materials replaced under warranty they also got the decking manufacturer to cover the labor costs, which was not included under the standard warranty. We felt that they really had our backs."

"Elias Contruction provided a detailed estimate after inspecting the roof and making some qualified recommendations. The project required a few change orders that were not clarified in writing. I would recommend hiring Elias if you get changes in writing. They cleaned up pretty well although they missed a few things due to finishing in the dark. Overall satisfied with the job and cost was 60% of other bids due to sheathing adjustment."

"I had decided to save money by painting my upstairs by myself, and after painting just one bedroom, I decided to hire an actual professional. Marshall Painting was very accommodating with my schedule and the price was very reasonable. It took them a fraction of the time to do the rooms and stairway, whereas it took me 4 days for one room. While I had wasted time second guessing myself or trying to cover up crayon on the wall, they were experienced and got it right the first time instead of wasting time and effort like me. They painted the bedroom doors and trim I was sure we'd have to replace and patched up some holes in the walls. They were methodical in their set-up and clean up, so no paint drips or flecks anywhere (unlike myself). I felt comfortable with them in my home, friendly but not overtly to the point of awkward conversation that I worry about whether I'm paying them for that time or not. There was no loud music or heavy workboots staining the carpet. When we paint the rest of the house, we will certainly be calling them."

Deck Staining FAQs, 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.

The plastic in composite decking boards protects them enough that you do not need to paint them to prevent warping. In fact, painting composite decking voids the warranty of some manufacturers. Painting can also increase maintenance on the deck, as you must paint regularly to keep it looking its best.

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

Yes, you must thoroughly clean your deck before staining. If you don't, dirt, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped between the wood and the new stain. This not only looks unsightly but also prevents the stain from penetrating the wood properly, reducing its ability to protect the deck from weather and UV rays. As a result, the stain won't last as long or look as good. Any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage. Always wait at least 48 hours after cleaning for the wood to dry completely before applying stain.

Whitewashing isn’t permanent, but it can last for a long, long time. When you apply it correctly or have a seasoned pro whitewash your brick, whitewashing can last for 20 to 30 years or longer. Whitewash is very durable and typically requires little maintenance, making it a great project for most DIYers.
