"Older homes beware!!! They used a high-pressure power washer at close range on my historic, wooden windows. This not only severely damaged all of my windows (damaged wood, cracked panes) but also had lots of water intrusion inside my home. The extent of the damage continues to escalate months later, with interior paint chipping and mold growing in window crevices and interior walls. When I notified them of the damage they downplayed it and blamed me for "agreeing" to power washing. I agreed to a light washing and told them to be careful. They even power washed my attic ventilation windows, causing tons of water intrusion in the attic as well! They caused lots of damage and stress and still pressured me to pay full price. I had to aggressively haggle them down for a discount but less than 5 months later paint is already chipping and the damage from the water intrusion is more evident. I should have opened an insurance claim and not paid them anything! They are not pros!"

"My family experienced water and wind damage earlier this year. We had to be placed in a hotel. After reaching out to numerous companies, we chose Maynor construction. I am glad we did!! If it wasnâ t for Maynor and his staff, I wouldnâ t have made it. The process was long and depressing because of being away from home. However Maynor and his staff reassured me. They showed patience with me and worked hand and hand with my insurance company with getting my home repaired in a timely manner. Thank you Maynor! I truly feel like we are family!"

"After unavoidable delays due to the constant rain, they came out on a Saturday to make up for lost time. While doing the work there was regular communication about the job, the materials, and how I wanted things done. They were efficient and when finished did an excellent job of clean up, something contractors often don't do."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Like the choice of stain vs. paint, your deck color is entirely up to you. By consulting color theory, you can make choosing a house and deck color combination much easier. Many people choose a darker color for their deck because it doesn’t show dirty footprints or other marks from daily wear and tear as much as a crisp white or other light color.

Applying a sealer after staining is often recommended, especially for outdoor wood surfaces like decks or fences. It helps protect the wood from moisture, UV rays, and other elements, extending the life of the stain and preserving the wood's appearance. It also enhances the stain's durability and resistance to wear and tear. 

However, in some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection required. Always check the specific product recommendations and consider the wood's exposure and usage when deciding whether to apply a sealer after staining.

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.

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.

Two coats of stain are ideal for the best protection and aesthetic appeal. However, if your decking is made of particularly dense hardwood, you may only need one coat. If you want an intense color, two coats are ideal.
