"Gerlyn provided power washing and staining of my cedar fence and wood posts/gates on a trex deck. There attention to detail in their prep work to ensure the protection of surrounding building and personal items as well as their impeccable work on the finished project was very satisfying. Angel provided a very fair estimate and the team of two doing the work were very considerate, diligent and respectful of the property."

"Ten Home provided quality repairs, over the top service, excellent response time and accurate cost estimate. The owner kept us updated as to what was done each day and what to expect next. Once the repairs were completed, Ten Home did more than we expected with the deck cleaning and staining. Our deck looks new again and will be good to go for many years. This was so much more cost effective than replacing the deck with composite material and it looks beautiful. I am already looking to Ten Home for my next house project as they do most any type of house repairs. I highly recommend Ten Home."

"Excellent. Anthony's team was timely, professional and provided a very high quality product. The existing stain was 9 years old and considerable repair of loose and cracked boards was needed especially on the south elevation. Preemo completed a complete color change and addressed all the siding issues without additional carpentry costs. Lots of compliments and inquiries from neighbors."

"Excellent from the detailed proposal to the complete cleanup. Derek and crew was professional, prepared, easy to work with, quick and quiet doing the ceiling repairs and fixing ceiling and wall stains, matching paint, and just excellent in all work. They moved the heavy China cabinet, covered all items with taping and plastic and drop cloths. They even shook out the drop cloths outside make certain they were clean."

"This is the second time we’ve used steadfast, they painted our deck summer 2018. If you are looking for a painting company that will do a perfect job that will last, hire steadfast. I was so happy with how our deck held up over the winter, I decided to have them paint the outside of our house. Anthony is so terrific to work with and all of his employees are polite and do a great job. My neighbor was so impressed by the work that they did, how nice the employees got along and talked to each other, she hired them to paint the outside of her house too!"

"Mike was very professional in viewing and getting proposal written. Even covered his shoes with "booties"- I appreciated that as my carpet is less than 2 yrs old. Estimate did state aprox. time to remove wallpaper but I think even he was surprized it was more than double. The 2 workers showed up on time on the 11th and worked at getting started by putting down tarps and starting on the paper. The walls had been "sized" when the paper was originally installed but still some had to be scraped and drywall mud used. Then sanded before primer. The 2nd day the workers did most of this. The 3rd day I was told they had a court date at 9:00 but would be back for work after that. At 2:15 I rec'd a call that the court was just getting out so they would not be coming. I had been waiting all day. The workers came on Saturday to do more on the primer--which really smelled awful!! Monday 1 worker showed up to paint and was here from 7-4:45. After he left, I discovered a blue paint stain on my carpet, in some areas the paint was not totally covering the walls, and I discovered that the heating vents had not even been removed for painting behind them. There was an area by door in the hall where then strip of wallpaper had not been removed, or painted, This is an area about 1/2 inch between doors. By the baseboard the walls are not smooth and it appears had not been properly mudded and sanded. Also, when you get up close to the wall there are areas where it looks like the nap from the roller is stuck to the wall. I sent this info to Mike yesterday so I am hoping to hear something from him. I do not want these workers to come back. Both told me they work on an as needed basis and that this is not the normal work they do. I am still scrubbing my oak trim trying to get the paint smears off. The one good thing is that I do not have wallpaper anymore and if you stand back the walls look ok until you start to inspect the work. Mike had two actual painters come in and try to fix all the problems. They were here Sept. 30 And Oct. 1st. They did as good a job as they could and, I believe if I had these 2 actual painters in the first place I would have gotten a professional job. The guys had to do lots of sanding, prepping and totaling repaint everything; they also removed as much of the paint off the woodwork as they could. I guess the lesson I learned is to ASK about previous work experience before letting them start any project and maybe hover over them. The last group of workers did the best they could to rectify everything. We normally do our own painting and will continue to do so in the future. Mike was very apologitic and concerned that things were made better."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

The staining or painting process involves cleaning the deck, sanding surfaces, applying a primer (if needed), and carefully applying stain or paint for an even, lasting finish.

Yes, pressure-treated wood can occasionally turn green due to certain preservatives, such as copper-based chemicals, used during the treatment process. These chemicals react with the wood, creating a greenish tint. The good news? It's temporary, and the color will fade over time. Staining or painting can also help hide any unwanted hues.

For homes in areas with extreme weather, high heat, or intense sun exposure, high-quality acrylic paint is the best option. Acrylic paint is durable, resistant to both heat and cold, and provides a protective barrier with excellent UV resistance. For best results, look for acrylics that contain natural earth pigments, which are better suited for resisting sun damage. While oil-based paint is also durable, it can be prone to fading in high heat and can become too viscous to apply easily in cold temperatures. Additionally, choosing a neutral or light color like gray, beige, or white can help, as these colors absorb less heat than darker shades.

While the answer varies based on weather, 10 a.m. is a good time to start painting. The dew will have dried, meaning there’s no moisture on the house, and the temperature will likely be moderate and the sunlight less direct. Starting mid-morning should also give you enough daylight and pleasant weather to work on the job for several hours.

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.
