"We had a new deck built and then hired Tidy Deck to pressure wash, stain and seal it properly. We couldn't be more pleased with the work Tidy Deck did for us. Communication was excellent, keeping us up to date as to scheduling dates & times. The guy they sent out to do the work was a stickler for detail, very professional. I would highly recommend their services."

"The employee that came out to do my house was great! He was very polite and punctual. He did an amazing job on the door!! I didn't know what the wood stain color was, but he matched it perfectly.
Another contractor told us that the door would have to be taken off of it's hinges in order to sand/stain it, but he had a ladder and did all the work leaving the door attached. It was beautiful when finished and I was told it comes with a 5 year warranty against further weather damage.
The only small issue I had with this company was that they kept rescheduling my service as their projects piled up. But how busy/popular they are is a testament to how much people like them.
The price they quoted me was the lowest price out of all the quotes I received (next one up was $50 more, and one person quoted $500).  I was very pleased and would definitely use them again (as long as I wasn't on a time constraint).

"It is rare these days to find someone so extremely hardworking and punctual, who always does what he says he will do. His house painting prep work was painstaking and detailed, and he carefully selected thee correct types of paint for each different surface. There were several rotten boards on my old deck that his crew carefully replaced, as well as repainting the whole deck. I was very happy the the job and would gladly hire Mr. Bautista again for future projects."

"Ivan was great to work with. He understood what we needed and helped the crews understand whenever there was an issue. We began with the siding and deck/stairs. The stairs needed some adjustments to be done to our satisfaction. The crew was accommodating to our changes, though there was a bit of a language barrier. We would be happy to use Make a Choice again if needed"

"I Hired Pro Masters to paint the exterior of my larger home in the Dacula, GA area. Christian was prompt with his quote and clear with the start times and how long the project would take. the quality of work was outstanding and his entire team were courteous, professional and show clearly that they take pride in their work. I have hired painters in the past that over promise and under deliver but this could not be further from the case with Pro Masters. My home needed a good deal of remediation and replacement of rotted wood as well as some window repairs and Pro Masters showed their aptitude at not only painting but carpentry as well! My home literally looks brand new after 17 years! The pricing was very fair for all of the remediation and painting that needed to be done. If you need to have your home painted or are looking for exterior repairs I could not recommend enough the professionals at Pro Masters."

"We love working with Frank and loved his crew as well. He repaired our existing deck and also created an underdecking screened porch. He is very honest, and he works very hard to see that things are done right."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.

Whether you can paint over your existing paint depends on what’s on there. Most of the time, you’ll want to sand down or scrape off the paint that’s currently coating your surface. Epoxy paint, for example, won’t let new paint stick to the surface. Latex paint is more forgiving and will accept a new coat, but a primer is recommended if you’re switching colors.

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.

Whitewashing isn’t permanent, but it can last for a long, long time. When you apply it correctly or have a seasoned pro whitewash your brick, whitewashing can last for 20 to 30 years or longer. Whitewash is very durable and typically requires little maintenance, making it a great project for most DIYers.

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.
