"Zach was absolutely amazing! He is so easy to work with. He replied to all my texts with all the information I needed. He and Zoey cleaned and prepped our deck one day, and painted it the following day. Our deck looks incredible! They both have a very strong work ethic, and they are very congenial as well."

"They were very professional and got my roof looking amazing. He answered any questions that I had and was very informative. It could have been a huge issue if it wasn't fixed fast. They made me a priority and gave me peace of mind knowing that I didnt have to worry about it getting worse or costing me much more money. The absolute best experience with a handy man ive ever had."

"Jesse gave us two estimates and had to return once after we changed the scope of the job. Knowledgeable, nice and personable guy. Helped us choose to paint brand and color scheme. Workers were very friendly and courteous, too. The job included painting walls, stained trim, fieldstone fireplace, and popcorn ceiling. Moved all furniture to the center of a great room and back again after painting. I've painted a lot of rooms myself and never got such sharp clean lines at molding and trim. Impressive work. Also cleaned up afterward but were very neat in doing their job. Covered everything with plastic or drop cloth. Job completed in two days. Also had a follow-up inspection by Mr. Sykes a day or so later. He found a few spots needing a touch up which he took care of. The cost was expense (but half of another estimate). But I could never have taken care of the ceiling and high walls. Too old to be on a high ladder. Would recommend them to anyone."

"We happened to see Brandon working at a neighbor’s and asked him if he could cut our yard as we were moving in. The backyard was so overgrown! He cut the yard, trimmed bushes, edged everything, cleaned up all of the limbs, etc and did it without his assistant who was under the weather. Also did some weed control! Brandon did a great job and worked quickly at an affordable price. He guarantees his work. Highly recommend!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths

It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the deck refinishing process. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.

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. 

Liquid rubber is great for waterproofing, but it can damage your deck if it’s not applied correctly. First, it can trap moisture in the wood if the deck isn’t completely dry before application.  Second, applying it too thickly can create a heavy, rubbery surface layer that peels and cracks under fluctuating temperatures. For the best results, ensure the wood is completely dry before application, and apply the liquid rubber in thin, even coats. A quick inspection every now and then will help you catch any issues early, keeping your deck protected and looking its best.

When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.
