Frequently Asked Questions
Should I stain or paint my deck?
+
Stain penetrates the wood and is easier to maintain; paint forms a film and offers more color options but may peel if moisture is trapped. We recommend based on your deck's condition and exposure.
How often should a deck be re-stained in New England?
+
Most decks need re-staining every two to four years depending on sun exposure, foot traffic, and moisture. Horizontal surfaces like boards wear faster than railings.
Can a damaged deck be repaired or does it need replacement?
+
Most decks can be repaired by replacing rotted boards and reinforcing framing. Full replacement is recommended only when structural damage is extensive. We assess and recommend honestly.
