"Rodney is the owner of Morehouse Painting. He was on time for the initial walk through and provided a timely quote. He was able to start painting per my timeframe. Rodney and Jeff did an excellent job, They were on time every day. We were matching existing colors and they were right on with the paint colors. We have high ceilings in part of the house....no problem. We had numerous nail pops. Those were repaired properly and look great. They also caulked as necessary. The interior looks like new again. Morehouse Painting gives "attention to detail" a whole new meaning. They found and repaired areas I didn't even notice previously. The exterior painting was pretty routine. It was done well and looks great. I rarely write reviews. Morehouse Painting is #1 in my book. You can trust Rodney and Jeff to any of your painting requirements. And if you like baseball, classic rock and/or mushrooms, you will find a lot to talk about with them."

"This review is based on my experience with Miracle Method of Indianapolis. I have used this process before in another home and found it to be the best option as I do not like grout. This last project was exhausting and after numerous attempts to get it resolved I contact CDH. They were more than willing to help me and took a lot of time on the phone to help me. In the end I had to finish with Miracle Method as they already had 100% of the funds. I will also state that I incurred additional fees in plumber trip and new fixtures that were damaged as to a bad tape job. I wish I would have called CDL first. Please beware of Miracle Method."

"Tri-County Home Pros has been wonderful to work with from start to finish. I hired them to replace my old deck which was starting to become a hazard. Tri-County Home Pros was very responsive and worked with us with our budget, getting a quote to us very quickly. I was impressed that the whole team came out to discuss the project and take final measurements. They even sent someone over when the lumber was delivered to make sure it was correct. I really applaud such a fantastic level of customer service. They were able to get started on my deck very quickly and it only took a few days for them to finish. Caleb really knocked it out of the park, his attention to detail was phenomenal and I know my deck will now be totally bunny-proof! I have a few future renovation projects and will definitely be calling Tri-County Home Pros."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

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.

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.
