"Ramon and his crew did a fantastic job staining my deck and whitewashing the interior of my gazebo. In addition he pointed out other areas of the exterior of my home that needed attention which he also took care of. I plan on having Ramon come back to do some interior painting this fall after he completes his exterior jobs."

"Hiring Mr Valencia was my best hire this year. My 2 bathrooms needed extra work done before the painting began and afterwards and he did it before making sure that everything was cleaned up. I will 100 percent hire him for my interior staining and painting next year Lord willing"

"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."

"Sef was very professional, I had my doubts when a 19 year old came to my door for my estimate. But he walked me through all the options for painting my house and built it around my budget. When he and his crew came out to do the work, they were all super professional and tidy. Didn’t leave a mess around my house and were all super accommodating when I had any questions. They made my house look almost brand new. He still reaches out to make sure everything still looks good. I would very much recommend!"

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

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.

The opposite is actually true: Wood stains tend to appear lighter when they’re fully dry. However, stains may darken as they weather and oxidize with age. Stains might also darken on surfaces left in direct sunlight, as UV rays can break down pigment particles and cause them to darken over time.

Yes, staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan, typically by five to 10 years. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and rot over time. Applying a treatment creates a protective shield that helps prevent splintering, fading, and decay, preserving the wood's strength and appearance. A combination stain and sealer often provides the best protection, as it soaks into the wood grain rather than just sitting on top. This offers superior defense against UV damage and rot and lasts longer than a sealer alone. To maintain the wood's natural look, consider using a near-translucent stain. You should plan to reapply the stain or sealer every two to three years.

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. 

Waterproof paint creates a barrier to hold back moisture, but it doesn’t eliminate the source of the water. If you hire a basement waterproofing contractor, many will tell you that waterproof paint is only a temporary solution. On average, you can expect it to last from six months to two years in a wet basement before deteriorating.
