"We recently had Mega Power Electric Inc install a solar system and panels. The President and provided excellent communication all the way through the process. He even met with us after installation to explain the almost incomprehensible PG&E bill. Although not the least expensive bid, his was competitive and I felt he was as interested in educating me about solar and the various types of panels and inverter systems as he was in selling a system. He demonstrated how the array of panels would meet our energy needs and as opposed to some of the other companies, wasn't selling us more than we needed. We are very satisfied with our solar system and I highly recommended Mega Power Electric Inc."

"L & S Painting I’ve never written a review, favorable or unfavorable for a business before but this time I felt strongly that I should share my experience, so here goes… Starting with the owner, Phil: Extremely professional, knowledgable, hands-on and as one of his employees described him, “one of those ‘look you in the eye, shake your hand and remember your name’ kinda’ guys.” The job: A huge project taking several days and several men. Entire log house, eves, windows, deck and railings needed to be stained…. including a lot of prep work and sanding. The before and after difference is remarkable. We are extremely pleased. The crew: Everyone of the men who worked on our home was courteous, skilled and not at all afraid of hard work. The crew foreman worked over-time to make sure every detail was completed and was totally accommodating, only wanting us to be happy with the work. And we were! Thank you L & S!"

"Daniel started the job promptly and even worked part of a weekend to get it done on time. He showed up as agreed, answers his phone, and responds to texts. He uses quality materials and knows what he is doing. It was a whole unit job: walls, ceilings,, closet interiors, bathrooms, kitchen. What a difference. He may be slightly higher than some, but it is the price of quality. Thanks!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan, typically by five to 10 years. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and rot over time. Applying a treatment creates a protective shield that helps prevent splintering, fading, and decay, preserving the wood's strength and appearance. A combination stain and sealer often provides the best protection, as it soaks into the wood grain rather than just sitting on top. This offers superior defense against UV damage and rot and lasts longer than a sealer alone. To maintain the wood's natural look, consider using a near-translucent stain. You should plan to reapply the stain or sealer every two to three years.

You don't need to seal your deck after painting it because most exterior paints are waterproof and weather-resistant. While stealing is not necessary, it can add an additional layer of protection.

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.

The best exterior paint for the job of painting your front porch depends on the material you’ll be painting. Acrylic paint is often recommended for a wooden porch as it’s durable and easy to apply. If your porch is made of concrete, you’ll need to find a formula suited to that material.

The need for a topcoat on a painted deck depends on various factors, primarily the type of paint used and your desired level of protection. Many premium deck paint formulations are self-sealing, eliminating the necessity for an additional topcoat. These paints often have built-in additives that substantially protect against moisture, UV rays, and everyday wear and tear.
