"Jesus was very prompt and professional.  He patiently answered all of my questions about every detail of the process and material involved in replacing my asphalt shingle roof.  He communicated clearly and quickly and his estimate was very competitive.  His crew showed-up and worked very efficiently over two days.  They paid attention to details and cleaned-up afterwards.  I am very happy with the quality of the work and most especially the feeling that Jesus and his crew genuinely cared about doing the job right.  I would definitely recommend them to others.

"Rocco (the owner) was very pleasurable to work with. He pays attention to detail and always listen to what ideas I had in mind. I will definitely use his services again. It is so nice to be able to talk directly to the owner Our neighbors commented to us about the great job that was done (he put a nice deck on our home as well as remodeled our Bathroom). I give him an A+"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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 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.

If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood’s grain for best results.

Hiring a contractor or professional deck refinisher is the best way to ensure your deck is properly stained. They have the expertise, tools, and supplies to do the job quickly and efficiently. However, staining a deck is a manageable task for most homeowners, and doing the job yourself can save money. Just keep in mind that DIY staining is a long process requiring physical strain, so it may not be the best option for everyone.

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.
