"After refinishing our deck twice on our own with mediocre results both times, we finally decided to bring in a pro - and we couldn’t be happier with that decision. 507 Decks did an outstanding job from start to finish. Communication was clear and prompt, the service was professional, and most importantly we now have a deck we can actually enjoy for years to come. If you’re in the Winona area and need deck work done right, 507 Decks is the call to make."

"he did pretty good for a cratched up deck to work with i would probably not try the method we used which involved staining would probably go with painting and maybe have the work done by same person . ."
"I hired Greg to perform multiple projects in and outside of my house. Greg does excellent work and projects I had Greg fix was a leaking chimney with multiple areas surrounding the chimney which leaked into my living room and closet. Chimney was replaced and fixtures and sealing were done to fix the leak. His work is perfection. This was a huge issue resolved with. There are many other projects which Greg fixed which include, however, not limited to some electrical outlet work and replacement, repaired a leaking faucet which leaked into my family room ceiling, repair of ceiling from leaks into family room. Outside of my house Greg fixed the overhang below the gutters which had come apart by wear and tear of the weather over the years. My drapes in my living room were replaced with blinds. Again excellent excellent work performed. I highly recommend Greg to do any projects needed in and outside of my house. He is very precise in all of his work performed. Greg is very professional and pleasant to have him do any of my projects and would highly recommend him for any issues a person would have. In a heartbeat I will have Greg repair any problems I have in the future. Greg was a gem I found who does pretty much everything. Today you have to hire big companies who do one project and then you have to find another big company to fix the other things and so it goes. Greg can do anything and does it in a timely manner. You just don't find an individual who does superb work in all areas of issues a person may need help with. He does an excellent job."

If you have wood decking, there are several common deck problems that you might encounter. For example, your natural wood boards may fade over time due to things like sunlight, weather, and debris. On top of that, some types of wood decking can rot, grow mold, and attract destructive pests—including termites, carpenter ants, and woodpeckers.
It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.
The best time to paint your deck is when temperatures are neither too cold (below 60 degrees) nor too hot (above 85 degrees). Always paint your deck when there’s no risk of rain. For fast-drying paint like acrylic or latex, ensure your deck can dry for at least four hours. Oil-based paints take longer to dry and may require 48 hours to completely cure.
A random orbital sander is best for sanding a deck because it is easier to handle than other power sanders and is less likely to damage the wood. Most decks are made of types of softwood, so a gentler sanding process is essential to prevent permanent blemishes. For example, belt sanders can gouge softwoods.
Two coats of stain are ideal for the best protection and aesthetic appeal. However, if your decking is made of particularly dense hardwood, you may only need one coat. If you want an intense color, two coats are ideal.
