Decks by Dave Mateo offers European craftsmanship with the personal touch. He has been specializing in the use of architectural interior and exterior coatings as well as wooden deck coatings since 1977. Only the highest quality coatings are used. We use all-natural cleaners that are pet and plant safe. Don't Forget: Dave does interior painting all year round. Be sure to book your exterior job early in the season. New coating technology means decks can be finished late in the fall and early spring...in temperatures as low as 35° F. Let us get your deck in shape for the hard winter. Email me pictures and measurements of your deck and take advantage of my special offer. If you don't have a photo to send me, tell me what kind of deck you have by looking at these basic deck types. |

"Thank you Dave for the great job you did on the deck and the garage floor ―we get lots of compliments."
The Dave Mateo Touch :
I
use a brush to apply stain for most decks. This forces the coating into
the pores and tiny wood crevices to better seal the surface for a longer lasting job. Spraying can cause damage to shrubs.
In addition spraying can get overspray on the house or any cars in the area― so I avoid it. I can't give a price over the internet but I can give you some idea of the total cost of some recent decks I've done this year. The average price for power washing and
staining a deck in good condition that is approximately 10 x 15 feet to 10
x25 feet would be in the range of $475 to $775. This includes a consultation/estimate and materials.

• New decks that have never been stained should go with name brand products such as Cabot's, Sherwin-Williams Deckscapes or Olympic Stains.
• If your deck has already been stained it's best to stay with the same product to get the same results (the only time you would switch products is if the product failed or was reformulated).
• In Winter it's best not to shovel snow off your deck as shoveling can damage the wood. Use a bristle broom to sweep the snow off and never use rock salt on your deck.
• Every deck has a life cycle. When wood is new and in good shape, transparent coatings are used to bring out the beauty. As decks get older and start to succumb to the elements, they usually require a pigmented semi- transparent coating. When decks really start to age they require solid stains to hide the years.
