"We used Superior a few times in the past to paint the interiors of homes and were very pleased. When the time came to paint the exterior of our home, we obtained three quotes. Superior's bid, while not the lowest, promised the best value... and they delivered. Their work on the exterior of our home was great. The teams were punctual, friendly, professional, and Gerard kept in touch to manage expectations. They also stripped the front door and re-stained it. I thought the door looked good before; I had no idea it had so much potential. The gentleman who worked on the front door explained the door was previously painted to look like wood grain. He brought out the door's true grain. We couldn't be more delighted."

"VIP Painting did an exceptional job on my home. VIP walked me through everything from siding repairs to the actual painting process. They provided honest feedback on my color selection and helped me pick out color combinations that turned out perfectly. The pricing was fair and any additional charges for repairs were discussed prior to being done. The painters were courteous and professional. Overall, my experience with VIP was outstanding! My home looks like new. I will definitely contact them for any future work and certainly recommend them to my neighbors!"

"Gilbert and his wife responded quickly and are very friendly, honest, and professional. They pressure washed the house, decks, walkways, workshop, rental cottage and blew off the roofs. They also cleaned the gutters. It took two days to complete. The result is amazing! I wish we took before and after photos; you’d be amazed too. They completed everything we agreed to for the estimated price. No surprises. We are planning to hire them in the near future to do some carpentry repairs."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Pricing depends on prep work, paint/stain choice, area size, scaffolding needs, and detailed trim inclusions like precision-balanced windowsills.

DIY staining or painting is manageable with proper preparation, including safety measures, necessary tools, and adherence to safe weather conditions for application.

Yes, you can waterproof any wood that has not already been treated. A good way to test this is to splash some water on it. If the water starts to bead up, the wood is treated and most likely doesn’t need another coating.

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.

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.
