"I used this company for four different times and they always made a excellent job, plus they are very clean. The last ones was for my fence and unfortunately I had some issues with my neighbor but, because the professionalism and the support this company gave to me, I was able to complete the stain and my fence and now it looks great. I highly recommend this company."

"Nick was honest about what to expect. Wear is showing after a couple winters But he did a great job. My deck looked beautiful when it was done. He also did several other painting projects on the exterior that turned out better than I could imagine."

"The crew of Devon and Pierce were knowledgeable, pleasant and patient as I interrupted them with questions about the steps in the painting process. That was appreciated as much as the beautiful work completed. Dependable. Would use their service again as well as refer others to them."

"Bob and his crew were great and easy to work with. In addition to painting, they added railing to my porch, replaced some rotting boards, and trimmed some trees. To my surprise they also threw in a power wash to my deck that was desperately needed. Iâ m thrilled with their work."

"My deck and interior of my 2 story house was done by these lovely people and I was not disappointed. Joe and his team were very clean and communicative. On top of that all of this was done in 1 week. I recommend them every chance I get."

"Excellent job! Was able to also do other small repairs my home needed. Very professional, and low prices compared to estimates I received. I originally needed my gutters cleaned, Jolman Construction offered me an estimate on my roof and repairs I needed. I loved they provide a free estimate, with reasonable prices. Staff are wonderful! Highly recommend, one call took care of the things I needed to get done!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

It’s best to use an exterior latex acrylic paint to promote maximum adhesion to composite decking. This flexible paint type can better cope with the natural expansion and contraction that can occur with composite deck boards. Oil-based paints won’t adhere as effectively and are more likely to crack and peel as the boards flex. Testing whether your chosen paint will stick on an inconspicuous section or a spare board is a good idea.

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. 

Hangers are one way of attaching stair stringers to a deck. These metal hangers are usually adjustable, allowing you to find the ideal angle for a secure installation. They’re the best choice for installing longer staircases, such as one on a two-story deck, to reduce the load on the deck frame while keeping the stairs stable.

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.
