"Our point of contact was Chris, and he was communicative and provided clear explanations of the work that the team was doing. He made the extra effort to make sure there was a good match of the stain with the house. The team worked efficiently and completed the project with minimal issues. We are very pleased with the outcome and would definitely hire Kind Home Solutions again."

"This company had very competitive prices. Was easy to work with and did a great clean up job. My home project was to sand and stain a large wrap around deck. They sanded down thru 20 years of tinted stain and put 2 coats of tinted stain on. My railing with spindles are a different color than the deck you walk on and they did a great of being careful not to get the deck stain on the spindles. I really enjoyed the ease of communication with them. As it was spring, thus rain, we had to be in communication about adjusting time and days due to the rain. Additionally I appreciated that because of weather and other jobs they had to do, I was not put off and kept at the top of the list to complete the job. I got a quote from them to do the railing and spindles, the price is so fair that I may not get other bids."

"Overall it went very well. We started with the standard estimate and they won the bid by competitive pricing. We were also recommended to them by friends. They sent a crew memeber to power wash and he did an excellent job. He even washed away the debris so it wasn't sitting in our driveway. Once the painting started, it all went pretty well. Along the way we noticed a few spots that needed additional attention, but the excellent crew tended to them before we even had to say a word. Anything they didn't get were taken care of at our request. The sales associate we worked with (Derrick) was very responsive to us and made sure everything was addressed on our final walk through. Our deck was a tough project and there were a few spots missed, but it was at no fault to theirs due to the lighting. I ended up just touching them up myself as they were smaller areas. The house looks great and crew worked diligently throughout the week. I would recommend them in a heartbeat to anyone else."

"My deck was a total disaster and needed to be rescued. After Adam was done with his total makeover, I was blown away. The paint job that he did was impeccable. My deck looks new, larger and beautiful. From start to finish, I was extremely satisfied with the entire process. Kyle helped with the selection of paint and paint color that was necessary and appropriate to repair my deck. His scheduling was timely and his choice of Adam to get the job done was really commendable. Adam completed his work on schedule and was able to paint areas of my deck which I considered unreachable. What a treat it was to come home and see my finished deck totally made over. I am extremely happy with the finished product and would not hesitate to recommend Adam in the future."

"The project was to clean and stain our deck, and we asked him to put stain on a small patio as well. Also, I asked if he could complete it on short notice. Mike worked it into his schedule, and in the end, the deck looks great. The patio is not Mike's specialty, and it turned out okay. In the end, we plan to hire Mike to clean our fence later this fall. When it comes to wood, Mike does a great job, and I would recommend him. Regarding the value, I'm not an expert in this space, but the cost seemed a little high for what we received."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

Satin paint is generally considered a better choice for woodwork—including trim, baseboards, cabinets, and doors—than flatter finishes like eggshell or matte. Its soft sheen enhances architectural details and stands up well to frequent cleaning and daily wear. Compared to eggshell and matte finishes, satin is more durable for high-touch areas because it is less porous and doesn't absorb dirt as easily. Matte finishes, in particular, are prone to scuffs and are harder to clean, making them less practical for surfaces like doors and cabinets.

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

Yes, professionals offer slip-resistant options for added workplace safety.

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.
