"FANTASTIC! My siding is sooo clean. Exterior stairwell was filthy and now great! My garage door and composite deck look brand new! They even cleaned my sidewalks too! We're getting ready to sell our house. I'll call them for our next one! Absolutely!"

"The project was to paint 2 bedrooms, new trim and folding closet doors. The painter did an excellent job! He was very neat, courteous and respectful. He was prompt and finished the job within a short timeframe. The company owner, David Mielke was very professional, followed his word and the price was very reasonable. I will definitely hire DCM painting for future paint jobs and will highly recommend to family & friends."

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?"

"K&A Home improvement was quick to respond to my request. The work was completed quickly and everything was cleaned up afterward. My only concern is that the workman did not speak English and his young son, who was polite and helpful, translated for his father. Overall, I am very happy with the completed project."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Always sand a deck before repainting so the wood is smooth and ready for paint. While you do not need to fully remove paint before repainting, sanding helps remove any areas with weather and sun damage. Sanding also helps remove chipped or flaking paint and opens the wood pores to improve paint adhesion.

You should refinish your deck to maintain its appearance, durability, and longevity. Refinishing your deck protects the wood from foot traffic and the elements. It also helps extend its life span by keeping rot, mildew, and termites at bay. By maintaining your deck, you can avoid the cost of replacing your deck sooner. A refinished deck also looks great and restores some of its original beauty.

The best time to paint your deck is when temperatures are neither too cold (below 60 degrees) nor too hot (above 85 degrees). Always paint your deck when there’s no risk of rain. For fast-drying paint like acrylic or latex, ensure your deck can dry for at least four hours. Oil-based paints take longer to dry and may require 48 hours to completely cure.

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

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