"This is a local family business. Three generations of the family showed up at our house to work. They were on time, friendly and very professional. We got an estimate from Brad. Benjamin and his team showed up on time and did all the work in one day! Benjamin's grandfather who is a carpenter came out to replace wood for two of the windows. It was great because we didn't have to contact another contractor. Brad stopped in occasionally to make sure things were running smoothly. The guys were very careful not to trample my plants around the house and they cleaned up as they worked. They left our yard immaculate when they left. They did a superb job painting the windows and staining the airing deck railing. The house looks so much better and we have peace of mind that everything was done the right way. On a personal note, we love the fact that they are a local Christian based, family business. We had to leave the house a few times during the day and we had peace of mind that we could trust them when we were gone. They all were so sweet and kind. Even our dogs adored them. We highly recommend Liedel Power Cleaning and Painting. We will contact them next year to have our garage painted. We couldn't be happier!"

"If you want an excellent job, a trustworthy contractor, and an all-around great person to do your work, I would highly recommend hiring Eric Sandow. He is a courteous, and very conscientious individual and most importantly pays particular attention to detail."

"Tyler and his crew have done multiple projects for our house, including a new roof, repairing drywall from a water leak, and replacing siding and soffit. They always treated us fairly, promptly and with respect. Tyler gave us a fair quote and was quick to finish all of the projects. He was awesome. Thanks Tyler."

"I’ve had several paint jobs through the years but Stier painting is where I always go now. Dustin is extremely professional and reliable and does excellent work. He makes it very easy because he gets the paint (including color match ) and supplies so you don’t have to worry about that. And again the work is exceptional. I will continue to use Stier Painting for all my paint jobs."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, professionals offer slip-resistant options for added workplace safety.

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.

If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood’s grain for best results.

Always wait until the morning dew has dried before you stain your deck. The stain needs a fully dry surface to sink into.

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.
