"Gt Lakes Building Services did a very good job painting the trim on my house. They were punctual on the day they were scheduled to be here. The Great Lakes crew worked continuously until the job was done and cleaned up after themselves. The skilled painters left good coverage and very straight lines on old boards that badly needed paint. They repaired some very rotten boards on an alcove/porch entrance, replaced them with composite boards, and painted them on all sides--no chance of dry rot there. Thanks for the good job! They have many pictures on Instagram of their past jobs. They know how to paint!"

"I learned that Peter and his crew had extensive experience in building decks and installing hardwood. We hire him to replace our deck which was done exceptionally well. One of Peter's crew, Vaso (sp) was an experienced cabinet maker. The amount of attention paid to detail, fit and finish went far beyond anything I've seen in deck construction. I mentioned to Peter that are next project would be to replace the flooring on our first floor. Again the quality and attention to detail exceeded all expectations. Peter and his crew are easy to work with, professional and work well as a team. Peter's is onsite directing the work and ensures all is done to his satisfaction. We couldn't be happier with the work he's done for us"

"I hired Nick after seeing his work on a neighboring property, and talking with the property owner. He has done a couple of jobs for us, and we will be using his services again. He is not the least expensive option for painting, but he is a thorough professional, and you get your money's worth. He is a meticulous worker, and communicates effectively about the work to be done, potential problems, and solutions. His approach is professional but friendly, and he is courteous, honest, and pleasant to work with."

"We will hire him again! It's refreshing to find a professional who responds quickly, and does a superb job. He removed, repaired our rotted soffit and removed and repaired a facia board. Painted both and found the problem related to both issues. We will use him again !"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

You don’t necessarily have to remove all the old paint before repainting your deck, but it’s best to remove as much as possible to ensure a smooth and long-lasting finish. Prioritize scraping off loose, peeling, or flaking paint, and sand down rough areas to create a smooth surface for the new paint to bond with.

If you don’t treat a cedar fence, it will turn from reddish brown to gray over time. You can keep the cedar from graying and retain its attractive, deep red color by sealing your cedar fence with a stain that keeps the wood’s oils in and serves as a barrier against the sun’s UV rays.

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.

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.
