"Cameron did a superior job on our deck painting. There were lots of challenges with the shortage of paint, height of the deck above ground, and inclement weather. He was persistent, reliable and had excellent communication skills. We are very pleased with his honesty and work ethic."

"I called Eric Peters based on an Angie's List review.  I was living with a screened porch which was cedar board finished and had been stained a horrible orange color, due to my own mistake.  I wanted it undone.  As with the other estimators I talked to, Eric pointed out that it would be nigh impossible to remove the previous stain, and difficult to cover it.  We agreed we'd like to preserve the nice grain of the wood, while "getting the orange out".  Eric worked with me very patiently during the next month or so, to find a product which would result in a porch surface I could live with.  Once the decision was made, Eric's employee arrived promptly and applied 2 coats to the walls and ceiling areas, pretty effectively removing the orange glow of the previous stain.  Furniture and screens were carefully moved, and the brush stain job was very neat.

"Carlos and his team did a great job painting the house trim, window frames, back porch ceiling and walls, and the whole front porch area (including a very damaged floor). He was very flexible with our requests and did extra repairs on the house trim and also power washed our house. Some areas had very old paint that was hard to remove. They did a great job removing old paint and applying a protective layer before painting. Carlos and his team are hard workers and finished the job fast. The appearance of the house has improved dramatically! After 10 months the paint is still strong and looks great. All that for a very reasonable price."

"Estimate was a bit low and should have given more time line for things we cannot control like inspections other than that they did a most excellent job with building a deck with footings! Their craftsmanship was outstanding!"

"Tom & his wife, Jessica came today (Father's Day) and I was so glad that they came so quickly. They did a great job in cleaning my gutters & downspouts, which were a mess and looked great when they finished. I would give both Tom & Jessica 5 stars each! I will definitely be seeing them again when they plan to power wash my house and also power wash and stain my deck. I'm so pleased that I found them! Thank you to MGL Construction & HomeAdvisor."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

A properly applied coat of stain will last between 3 and 8 years, depending on your climate. If you live in a place where your fence experiences a lot of moisture or high heat, your stain will last for a shorter period than in more temperate conditions. We recommend reapplying stain every 3 to 5 years to keep your wood in good condition.

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

Satin paint is generally considered a better choice for woodwork—including trim, baseboards, cabinets, and doors—than flatter finishes like eggshell or matte. Its soft sheen enhances architectural details and stands up well to frequent cleaning and daily wear. Compared to eggshell and matte finishes, satin is more durable for high-touch areas because it is less porous and doesn't absorb dirt as easily. Matte finishes, in particular, are prone to scuffs and are harder to clean, making them less practical for surfaces like doors and cabinets.

Constant exposure to inclement weather conditions can damage your deck, causing it to fade, warp, or crack over time. Regular maintenance keeps it looking and performing its best. That means giving it a good cleaning and applying a quality sealant or wood treatment to help defend against moisture, sun damage, and everyday wear.

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.
