"It's been a process, just because we needed so much work done, but Fred Zykan (owner) has been a pleasure to work with. He is dependable and accessible. He doesn't ask for money in advance, just when the job is done to satisfaction. He has hard working, knowledgeable laborers working for him and we have been very happy with everything that has been accomplished so far. All we have left is the decking, and I am sure that will turn out great as well. It's been a pleasure working with this Company and I wouldn't hesitate to work with them again."

"Things went well. The work was done meticulously. They cleaned up every day and communicated well as to any stoppage. i.e. Weather stopped job for two days and I was called to inform me. All nail holes were painted to match the color scheme. The bottom line: my home looks fantastic."

"We have never been as pleased with any service that has been performed in our home as we are with LS Custom Painting and Carpentry. They arrived on time as scheduled and provided a free estimate, they immediately scheduled the service. They called to confirm and arrived to do the work right on time. Both men worked diligently, only stopping to talk when I visited with them. The painting is superb and they were done earlier than anticipated. They even caulked in our kitchen because Josh noticed it needed to be done. I wish every person we hired to work in our home was as professional and provided such great quality as this company."

"I was extremely please with the job that was completed. The exterior of my house looks great. Dennis and his crew were professional and courteous. Even as they were at removing the existing siding, gutter, etc., they always cleaned up before leaving for the day. I appreciated this especially because this was not just a one day job. They answered all my questions and kept me in the loop throughout the whole process. I plan on using this company again for some projects inside my house. Would recommend them to others."

"I felt very confident in Mr. Hoover and his staff's work and understanding of the project. He talked me into a little more work because it was necessary. I am very glad I did the extra and probably should have done more. I wish I had known about him when I first had the deck done because he did such a good job using better materials, cedar, and explaining how much longer it would last. His assistant was very professional.

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Staining a deck is typically less expensive upfront than painting. The cost to stain a deck professionally averages around $850, with most homeowners paying between $550 and $1,250, depending on the deck's size. A DIY staining project can cost less than $100. The cost to paint a deck ranges from $500 to $2,000. While the initial cost of staining is lower, it's important to consider long-term expenses. Paint can last up to 10 years, whereas stain needs to be reapplied every few years, which could lead to higher costs over time.

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.

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

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.
