"Jordan was very professional and took the job on late in the painting season; other painters either never showed up or their estimate was a â few thousandâ more for the same work! The job was completed ahead of time."

"My wife and I received 5 bids for our deck refinishing project. We asked for a detailed statement of work, and Costas provided us with a thorough and comprehensive list, and he won our business. He is professional, prompt, readily reachable, practical, and knowledgeable. We value his advice. He has a good team, and the work was completed on schedule, and the attention and care to detail is exemplary. We are 100% satisfied with the result, and will work with True North again."

"We are disappointed with our experience with this company. Parts of the job were done well, however the owner was not receptive and argumentative when we expressed that he left a mess and rushed parts of the job. There were paint splatters all over our brand new driveway and deck and they painted over dirt on the foundation (not part of the contract at all). Wouldn?t work with them again."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

Avoid using cleaning products that are abrasive or contain bleach or acidic components on composite decking to avoid discoloration. Early-generation Trex decking isn’t designed to handle pressure washer cleaning—and if you use them on second-generation boards, always use a low setting to avoid the risk of damage that can risk voiding your warranty.

Many decking oils can help slow down algae growth, but they don't completely stop it. These oils work by sealing the wood, which reduces moisture and, therefore, algae growth. Some decking oils also help protect against UV damage, but they need to be reapplied according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the decking stays protected.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.

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.
