"Needed my deck sealed after a year of curing. Quote was high, but I decided it was worth it. Lots of positive reviews. Had some water marks from pots on the deck. After the first brightening there were still watermarks. I sent Bruce pictures and asked that the guys coming to seal make sure the watermarks were taken care of. He told me to point out the spots and they would take care of it. When the sealers came, I pointed out the marks and asked that they make sure they were taken care of before the sealing. They told me that the water marks were the result of leaving pots on the deck...duh. Obviously this is what happened, but was why I was paying Cal Preserving to take care of it. I don't appreciate having to convince my contractors I want something done the right way. I ended up calling Bruce and explaining that I felt like this was being done in a rush, but he assured me his team was professional and that it would get done properly. Placated, I decided to trust it would be OK, despite the static. That was my first mistake. After they were done sealing they asked for the check (before it had a chance to dry and for me to inspect the work). I told Bruce I didn't feel comfortable with this (over the phone), but he reassured me that they weren't that kind of company and any mistakes or issues would be taken care of. I gave the sealers the check. Mistake number 2. The next day I inspected the work to find huge sections of the hand rail completely unsealed and with power-washer damage. Also the water marks were still there and now sealed in. I took pictures and sent them to Bruce. He came out and we discussed the issues. He was nice and told me not to worry and that his guys would take care of it. Another iteration and the handrail was fixed, but the watermarks are still there. At this point I feel like I didn't get the full value of what I paid, and the hassle I went through to get to where I am now, which is barely passable should be avoided by others so I am writing this review. I don't mind paying premium prices, but when I do, I expect premium work. And if I find something wrong with the work, I expect it to be fixed without contention. The fact is I feel like the job was rushed, and I was pressured into paying early. I am a relatively new homeowner and this whole experience has just been a lesson learned. If the watermarks were taken care of, and the rail done right the first time, and nobody gave me static, I would be rating Cal Preserving with five stars. Take warning!"

"Well, Omar- Owner/Operator of Indigo Paintings has done it again. Last year, they painted the exterior of the home and this time the work was done on the interior of the home. Omar is very hard-working, his prices are reasonable, and he always completes the job ahead of schedule, provided all goes well. This time Omar had the assistance of a very hard-working young man, named Antonio. Antonio was always on time, and pleasant. He often assisted my sister and me when we needed help. So, don’t be fooled by the name Indigo Painting, as the business does much more than paint. My sister and I just can’t say enough about this dynamic dual. Omar and Antonio replaced the flooring in the lower portion of the home and refurbished and refinished several wooden floors in the upper portion of the home. They also replaced several light fixtures and they painted several rooms in the home. Omar and Antonio, my sister, and I can’t thank you both enough for such an Excellent Job! Beverly Johnson"

"Alex & his team did an excellent job painting our mid-century rancher. The entire job was expertly done: Prep was thorough & attentive. All cracks were repaired and sealed, wood trim sanded, grills replaced, window edges sealed. Two coats of prime, two coats of high quality paint which Alex advised on. Painting was smooth, polished, deep and precise. Final walk through matched proposal and any other agreed along the way adjustments. Alex is trustworthy, friendly, honest, fair and has a can-do attitude. He adhered to the timeline and always kept us informed of progress or issues that needed to be addressed. He was patient, flexible, and made sure all of our concerns were addressed. The patient crew was terrific--- on time, hard working, polite, respectful, and of good cheer. They did their jobs well, took pride in their work, cleaned up respected the property every day. Overall, the house looks fantastic--- fresh, energized, extremely well appointed, and more valuable!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must. 

For the longest-lasting exterior paint, consider acrylic or enamel (oil-based) paints. Acrylic paints, including acrylic latex and acrylic enamel, are known for withstanding harsh weather and sun exposure. Enamel-based paints are also one of the most durable options available. While latex paint is common, it typically has a shorter lifespan than acrylic or oil-based options. The paint's finish also affects its durability; a higher gloss finish is generally more durable. For resistance to moisture and cracking, matte and satin finishes can be effective, while a high-gloss acrylic or oil-based paint offers a combination of maximum longevity and durability.

No, you don't need to stain Ipe decking, although you can if you want to change the color. You will, however, need to apply a UV coating if you don't want the natural color to fade. Speak to a deck staining specialist near you to discuss the best options if you want to stain your decking. And remember that you’ll need to seal your Ipe wood deck annually to protect it from scratches and Mother Nature.

Costs depend on coating type, labor, site preparation, and required finishes.

If you don’t treat a cedar fence, it will turn from reddish brown to gray over time. You can keep the cedar from graying and retain its attractive, deep red color by sealing your cedar fence with a stain that keeps the wood’s oils in and serves as a barrier against the sun’s UV rays.
