"If you need help with renewing your deck to its former glory, Try Deck Salvage. Carlos from Deck Salvage did a tremendous job with our deck and has done so for many years. We have different decks that vary in age from 45 years to 15 years. He power washes and then restains them for us, keeping them in excellent shape. Carlos charges a fair price, and he is professional and always on time for all the work he has done for us. I would highly recommend Carlos and Deck Salvage for your deck maintenance needs. Dan"

"I needed my entire house and deck restained - i have a large cedar ranch. Ramon was super responsive, quoted a fair price and was able to commit to my time frame, which was pretty tight. His work was better than i hoped for, and he went out of his way to make sure that i was happy with the end result, even though the house needed a little TLC on the way. He and Branden were a joy to have around the house, always cleaned up after themselves, were prompt, worked super hard and finished early. I recommend Ramon without hesitation"

"We would recommend Deck Rescue for all of your deck cleaning and staining. Carlos came out right after being contacted to give an estimate. He is extremely friendly and easygoing, yet also very professional. He quoted us a very reasonable price for the work on our deck (@1300 square feet with benches, planters, and railings), so we hired him. He gave us @48 hoursâ notice before coming out to do the cleaning of the deck, which was spotty and stained with algae. His process not only cleaned the deck but also got rid of the stains. After completing the cleaning, he told us heâ d be coming back in 4 days when the weather would be most favorable to do the staining. Carlos confirmed the appointment both the day before and the day of the staining. He spent most of the day staining the deck. His work was impeccable. He was very careful not to overspray areas and also to make sure the stain covered properly. In two years, Carlos and Deck Rescue will be our first choice for taking care of our deck."

"We are so happy that we chose 1451Dale Painting for our new home!! We gave our house a complete indoor make over and needed a fresh coat of paint throughout the upstairs and downstairs. This was a huge undertaking, but Martin and the rest of his 1451 Dale team made sure it was done beautifully and quickly!! They were respectful of the space and we felt like they treated it as if it were there own home, something that also came through in the care they took for the job as well. Every room exceeded our expectations and Martin was professional and communicative throughout the whole process, even coming out on weekends to meet with us and discuss plans since we were still living and working outside the city when the painting started. We would absolutely recommend Martin and his team at 1451 Dale Painting to anyone who is looking for top quality work at an affordable price. We simply can't say enough good things about our experience and final product!"

"Exceptional well, the crew, Pedro, Felipe and Christian arrived on time everyday and worked very well together. They left little to no mess and cleaned up anything that was missed, clean drop clothes used and plastic covering all the furniture. We had some stains on the ceiling which they took care of, repaired and caulked what needed to be caulked, and carefully covered some of the most awful colors left by previous owners. A job well down and I would recommend Culvers and this crew to anyone that asks. The owners Alex and Josh stayed in contact to ensure we had no problems and to deliver some items that were needed, a dedicated company."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.

Staining a deck is typically less expensive upfront than painting. The cost to stain a deck professionally averages around $850, with most homeowners paying between $550 and $1,250, depending on the deck's size. A DIY staining project can cost less than $100. The cost to paint a deck ranges from $500 to $2,000. While the initial cost of staining is lower, it's important to consider long-term expenses. Paint can last up to 10 years, whereas stain needs to be reapplied every few years, which could lead to higher costs over time.

A wood deck requires annual cleaning and regular inspections for loose or broken boards, nails, and screws. It should be refinished by applying a stain or sealer every two to three years to protect the wood from water damage, rot, mildew, and sun fading. The exact frequency can depend on the climate and the deck's exposure to sun and moisture. If your deck is painted, it will need repainting approximately every 10 years. Signs that your deck needs refinishing include faded, splintering, or warping boards.
