"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"

"We have had the exterior of our house painted/stained numerous times over the past 35 years, but no one has done such a phenomenal job like Rainbow Painting. I can not recommend this company enough as they were absolutely incredible. This family owned company was detail-oriented, friendly, exceptionally thorough, and took extreme pride in the quality of their work. Although they were the least expensive of any of the quotes we received (by $2,000), they went above and beyond our expectations. They were at our house promptly each morning and painted our house as if it were their own. They were dedicated, conscientious and exceptionally responsive to all our questions. They masked off, draped, and/or covered the areas not to be stained, and then thoroughly cleaned up upon completion. They even cleaned the exterior of all our windows. They provided suggestions, recommendations, and when they were done, our house looked as though it was brand new again. I usually never leave a review, but I was so impressed with Rainbow Painting that I would hire them again in an instant for any future work (like interior painting. Note that I am not personally affiliated with them, nor compensated in any way. I rate them 5+ out of 5 stars."

"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."

"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."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

It’s necessary for paint to completely dry before exposure to rain, and that drying time varies by the type of paint used. Oil-based paint takes 6 to 8 hours to dry on average, meaning that’s the minimum time needed between the last brush stroke and the first raindrop. Latex paint dries faster at around 1 hour, and acrylic paint is even quicker, usually drying in about 30 minutes. If rain is in the forecast, check the paint manufacturer's details before laying on a new coat. 

It is not always necessary to remove old stain before restaining a deck. If the previous stain is in good condition and is compatible with the new stain, you may be able to apply a new coat after thorough cleaning. However, if the old stain is in bad condition, flaking, or peeling, it is best to remove it completely to ensure an even surface and proper adhesion for the new coat. Staining over a damaged layer can lead to an uneven finish and poor penetration. For best results, test a small area first and consult the stain manufacturer's guidelines.

No, you don't need to stain Ipe decking, although you can if you want to change the color. You will, however, need to apply a UV coating if you don't want the natural color to fade. Speak to a deck staining specialist near you to discuss the best options if you want to stain your decking. And remember that you’ll need to seal your Ipe wood deck annually to protect it from scratches and Mother Nature.

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.
