"This is a local family business. Three generations of the family showed up at our house to work. They were on time, friendly and very professional. We got an estimate from Brad. Benjamin and his team showed up on time and did all the work in one day! Benjamin's grandfather who is a carpenter came out to replace wood for two of the windows. It was great because we didn't have to contact another contractor. Brad stopped in occasionally to make sure things were running smoothly. The guys were very careful not to trample my plants around the house and they cleaned up as they worked. They left our yard immaculate when they left. They did a superb job painting the windows and staining the airing deck railing. The house looks so much better and we have peace of mind that everything was done the right way. On a personal note, we love the fact that they are a local Christian based, family business. We had to leave the house a few times during the day and we had peace of mind that we could trust them when we were gone. They all were so sweet and kind. Even our dogs adored them. We highly recommend Liedel Power Cleaning and Painting. We will contact them next year to have our garage painted. We couldn't be happier!"

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

Beyond liquid rubber, homeowners can use sealants, stains, membranes, or tapes as waterproofing options. Oil-based or water-based sealants soak into the wood, creating a moisture-resistant barrier. Waterproofing stains—available in transparent, semi-transparent, and solid colors—add both protection and style to your deck. For heavy-duty waterproofing, deck membranes and waterproof tapes can be applied under the deck boards to direct water away from the structure below. Whatever method you choose, clean and prep the deck first to ensure the best, longest-lasting results.

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.

To make sure the paint won’t bubble as you apply it, make sure to paint on a day that’s cooler than 85 degrees Fahrenheit. When the temperature is too high, the paint won’t dry evenly, which can result in bubbles forming on the surface. Another way to prevent paint from bubbling is to clean the walls, apply primer, and let everything dry completely before you begin.

Yes, it is generally a very good idea to seal your deck after pressure washing. Power washing removes not only dirt and debris but also a thin layer of wood, leaving the surface exposed and more susceptible to weathering. Sealing is almost always needed after this process. After a general cleaning, sealing isn't automatically necessary if the existing sealant is still intact. You can test the surface by placing a few drops of water on it. If the water beads up, the sealant is working. If it soaks into the wood, it's time to apply a new sealant. If it has been a few years, it's wise to remove the old sealant, wash the deck, and reseal for maximum protection.

It’s best to use an exterior latex acrylic paint to promote maximum adhesion to composite decking. This flexible paint type can better cope with the natural expansion and contraction that can occur with composite deck boards. Oil-based paints won’t adhere as effectively and are more likely to crack and peel as the boards flex. Testing whether your chosen paint will stick on an inconspicuous section or a spare board is a good idea.
