"Our family contracted Everstone to remodel multiple rooms after a tree fell on our home. Their team remodeled a bathroom, a bedroom, kitchen and replaced flooring in several rooms. They also painted the rooms. They were professional and did a thorough job. I have recommended them to friends and other family members and plan to hire them for any future needs."

"A job that in past took the painters I hired a week or less to complete took Mr Soto’s crew almost a month. The first week was pretty much due to bad weather. The following weeks they did not show up everyday but I guess this was more than likely due to probably having multiple jobs going on. I still think the job could have been completed and done well in a lot less time. If ever having to have work done again in the future I’ll be sure to get a “timeline” written into the contract. On a very positive note, their work was good. Had to point out a few things fir them to address but Mr. Soto always made it right. They always cleaned up around the work area before leaving for the day. My home looks great. Patty McMurry"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage. 

You should seal your deck every one to two years, but you’ll also need to clean and repair your wood deck throughout the seasons. You may want to hire a local house cleaning service to sweep and clean the deck thoroughly. These cleaning services cost around $50 per hour.

Inspect your deck at least once a year, and if you notice any damage or rot, expect to spend about $10 to $50 for simple DIY fixes or about $2,000 for professional repairs on more extensive damage.

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.

A properly applied coat of stain will last between 3 and 8 years, depending on your climate. If you live in a place where your fence experiences a lot of moisture or high heat, your stain will last for a shorter period than in more temperate conditions. We recommend reapplying stain every 3 to 5 years to keep your wood in good condition.
