"Jake was hired by my landlord to paint our entire building, including my restaurant. He did a really good job painting, including realizing there was brick and Foundation damage. He contacted the landlord who contacted the contractor and had another company come out and fix the bricks and Foundation, so he could then finish his painting. He did a very good job and a very thorough job in a quick amount of time so that my restaurant did not have to close down for two many hours or days"

"I had my barn power wash, sand, and painted, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. From the very beginning, they were professional, punctual, and extremely knowledgeable. He took the time to carefully sand down the rough and weathered areas. The paint job was excellent . The barn looks brand better than I ever imagined. What really stood out to me was how communicative and helpful he wasthroughout the entire process. Every question I had was answered with patience and clarity, and I always felt informed and confident in the work being done. If you’re looking for someone who takes pride in their work and truly cares about customer satisfaction, I highly recommend!"

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, it is generally a very good idea to seal your deck after pressure washing. Power washing removes not only dirt and debris but also a thin layer of wood, leaving the surface exposed and more susceptible to weathering. Sealing is almost always needed after this process. After a general cleaning, sealing isn't automatically necessary if the existing sealant is still intact. You can test the surface by placing a few drops of water on it. If the water beads up, the sealant is working. If it soaks into the wood, it's time to apply a new sealant. If it has been a few years, it's wise to remove the old sealant, wash the deck, and reseal for maximum protection.

Provided conditions are ideal, staining an entire deck should take as little as a couple of hours and up to a couple of days to apply and cure. Additional procedures, like sealing a deck or using additional treatments, may extend the project by a few additional days.

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.

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.

It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the deck refinishing process. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.
