"Cornerstone did an excellent job with our deck which required a pressure wash and stain. At the start we requested a written quote and that was received within a day. Once the order was placed the administrative staff contacted me to coordinate the work which commenced within a very reasonable amount of time. This company is first rate, professional, prompt and courteous. The final project exceeded my expectation. I highly recommend Cornerstone Hydrowash and I most definitely will hire them again"

"Ramel was punctual and professional. A couple of areas on the ceiling and walls needed repair prior to painting and he did a remarkable job so that the prior blemishes are no longer noticeable. After the job was complete, he cleaned up very well. We would definitely hire DCM for future projects and recommend them to others."

"Marathon Painting & Staining did a fantastic job painting my exterior block foundation walls and three exterior porches. I met at the house with Bob, who is very professional and pleasant, as we discussed the work and schedule. The painters arrived as expected and were prompt, courteous and professional. The result far exceeded my expectation. Marathon transformed my house into a real gem. Bob and the painter returned to check the work and make sure I was pleased with the job. I highly recommend Marathon Painting & Staining and would certainty hire them again."

Customers say: Terrific value

"Overall the home was powerwashed quickly and looks pretty good. I was disappointed that the back gate was left open (we have a docile Golden Retriever who thankfully does not leave the yard), and two of the potted Plumeria plants (on front of deck, not close to home) were knocked over. The area of the back of the house, within the screened porch, was not powerwashed?"

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.

Routine cleaning, sealing/staining, and inspection prolong deck life and appearance.

Staining a deck is typically less expensive upfront than painting. The cost to stain a deck professionally averages around $850, with most homeowners paying between $550 and $1,250, depending on the deck's size. A DIY staining project can cost less than $100. The cost to paint a deck ranges from $500 to $2,000. While the initial cost of staining is lower, it's important to consider long-term expenses. Paint can last up to 10 years, whereas stain needs to be reapplied every few years, which could lead to higher costs over time.

Most gutter painting pros also specialize in complete home exterior painting. You may save by making your gutter painting part of the cost to paint the exterior of a house in its entirety. Many people have all parts of their home exterior painted simultaneously to keep everything looking equally fresh. Consider having walls, trim, porches, shutters, and doors painted as well.

Choosing the right product involves understanding deck material, desired finish, and local weather conditions. Opt for high-quality, weatherproof formulations ensuring long-term durability and appearance retention.
