"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."

"Initially, I hired them to power wash and paint a small section of a rather large deck. However, when I saw how professional they were, and how well it was turning out, I added to my scope of work and had them do two decks and repair outside structures. It took them three days to complete the work, but no shortcuts were taken. They moved furniture deck furniture and replaced it. I am beyond pleased"

"There was an immediate response for a quote and satisfied with that, I booked the job. I had to wait a few weeks for them to start, but that was also agreed upon. I needed help with color choices and ProTect uses Sherwin Williams paint, so SW sent someone to my home to help me pick out colors. That helped me tremendously. The color consultation resulted in some additional changes to our original contract but I feel their contract fairly spells out what the costs for changes will be so there aren't any surprises in the end. I have vaulted tray ceilings which I decided to paint separate colors which created a lot of additional work for the crew, but they happily complied even though it changed the original 4-5 day commitment to a 6-7 day commitment.
From Day 1 to Day 7, their crew was friendly, professional and extremely courteous. They took great care to protect my furniture and my floors and even took down all my curtains and reinstalled them when the job was complete.
I absolutely love the finished product.  It's made our new house our home.

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, they provide design insights that enhance space utility and visual appeal.

Oxygen bleach uses hydrogen peroxide as a base and won’t harm wood when using it as a cleaner. On the other hand, chlorine bleach breaks down wood at the cellular level and causes irreversible harm. Although you may not see immediate damage to wood after exposing it to chlorine bleach, its strength and integrity are now compromised.

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.

You’ll need to restrain your deck when you notice fading, cracking, peeling, or mold and mildew over a moderate to large area, or when it’s become especially difficult to clean. As for how often to stain a deck, plan to do it every two to three years or whenever you start to notice extended damage.

It is not always necessary to remove old stain before restaining a deck. If the previous stain is in good condition and is compatible with the new stain, you may be able to apply a new coat after thorough cleaning. However, if the old stain is in bad condition, flaking, or peeling, it is best to remove it completely to ensure an even surface and proper adhesion for the new coat. Staining over a damaged layer can lead to an uneven finish and poor penetration. For best results, test a small area first and consult the stain manufacturer's guidelines.
