"Painting and so much more! Ernesto and his crew built our new composite deck for us. They handled everything--tear out and disposal of the old deck and construction of the new deck from the foundation up. It has transformed our back yard. They also rebuilt our wooden privacy fence with the same quality workmanship. We could not be happier with the work they have done for us and we will definitely be using them again in the future. We found out about Ernesto from another family who had him handle a major deck construction project, and that turned out beautifully. After seeing this we called Ernesto for a bid, and within a couple of weeks we were enjoying our new deck. If you're considering a deck or fencing project I highly recommend Ernesto and his crew. They are professional, prompt and they complete their work on time and on budget."

"I hired Brandon in March 2019 to do the contracting for a complete kitchen remodel on my 1960’s era home. The job included a complete rewire of the kitchen/dining room, moving plumbing, adding insulation and new drywall, tearing out the floors down to the subfloor, new French doors, the list goes on. All of his subcontractors did excellent work and I am beyond happy with the job they did. Brandon did an even better job of keeping everything on budget. When I get ready to redo the bathrooms I’ll be calling Wilson Home Services again."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

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. 

You may be wondering: can you paint cement? Fortunately, the answer is yes.

To change the color of your cinder blocks, you have two options. You can either paint them or stain them. Either way, you'll be able to choose from a wide range of color options. Some popular colors for cinder block painting include off-white shades and gray tones, which add a modern spin to the traditional gray blocks.

The best way to protect a deck is to prevent damage from UV light, water, mold, mildew, insects, and abrasive cleaning methods. Sweep regularly to prevent debris that hides bugs and traps moisture that can result in mold or mildew growth. Use a deck cleaner once a year to remove algae, mold, and mildew. Avoid using pressure washers on high, as they can damage the wood. Applying a deck sealant can protect the wood from UV and water damage, and adding shade can also reduce sunlight damage.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.
