He and his entire team worked quickly and expertly and my house has never looked better. I recommend True North Painting without reservation!"

"For 6-years my wife has been asking me if we could sheet-rock over the "cabin-like" wood at our lake house. After hiring John, I admitted "why did I wait so long". The craftsmanship, professionalism, constant communication, price, attention to detail and ability to think of ideas to make the house look even better is beyond our wildest dreams. I have never seen my wife so excited about the outcome of John Devoe's work. For those who read this, please don't look for a 2nd or 3rd quote, just call John, you will be happy you did, your home or project will be 100xtimes better than you ever thought. I have already hired John for a second project in a few weeks. So you will have to wait until mine is done - LOL"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

You don't need to seal your deck after painting it because most exterior paints are waterproof and weather-resistant. While stealing is not necessary, it can add an additional layer of protection.

It's okay to walk on a newly painted deck after about four to six hours as long as the weather has been dry. Be sure to wait at least 24 hours before you place any outdoor furniture or grills on a freshly painted deck, though.

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.

No, you don't need to stain Ipe decking, although you can if you want to change the color. You will, however, need to apply a UV coating if you don't want the natural color to fade. Speak to a deck staining specialist near you to discuss the best options if you want to stain your decking. And remember that you’ll need to seal your Ipe wood deck annually to protect it from scratches and Mother Nature.

Yes, pressure-treated wood can occasionally turn green due to certain preservatives, such as copper-based chemicals, used during the treatment process. These chemicals react with the wood, creating a greenish tint. The good news? It's temporary, and the color will fade over time. Staining or painting can also help hide any unwanted hues.
