"Wes and his staff were great. I had a rather small job as it was just my kitchen countertops, but that didn't matter. They were prompt and helped me get some hard water, lime and calcium stains out. I'm very happy with my countertops now. I would not hesitate to use them again or recommend to someone."

They do great work, masters of there craft. They have painted my home various times inside and out, and always do a nice and clean job. They have also pressure cleaned and sealed my roof tiles, driveway and rear deck. Not once have I had an issue with them, highly recommended!"

"We had an excellent experience with this company. Lisa came out to my home the same day I called for an estimate and two days later had a crew painting the house. The crew worked long hours and with great attention to detail. They cleaned up everything before they left each day and furnishings and flooring were covered when they arrived every day. Lisa is very knowledgeable about what needed to be done and was a big help in choosing what colors to use. Everything came out beautifully."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years.

Choose based on climate, finish preference (glossy, matte), and durability. Tailored coatings also provide longevity.

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.
