"I hired Wolverine Custom Painting to restore my deck, which included replacing rotted wood and hand rails, power washing years worth of grime and mildew, and re-staining it to a beautiful dark shade of brown. I am more than happy with the work completed by Wolverine Custom Painting. I am very impressed with the skill of carpentry plus the quality of product that was recommended, the attention to fine details, the time that they took to prep the deck, the list goes on. Doug was  great with answering my questions and the crew was always friendly and professional. The deck was beautiful in its early days, and well, it just needed some TLC after being neglected for several years by the prior owners. Thank you, Wolverine Custom Paining for giving my deck the attention it needed and deserved and for bringing it back to life! I knew I had hired the right company when Doug said, "If I put my name on something, I want it to be the best." I agree wholeheartedly and that type of work ethic is hard to find. I would highly recommend the company."

"Ryan and his team were superb. They were responsive, timely, and always willing to go the extra mile. 100% professional. The paint job is just great, and they left the space cleaner than when they entered it. Definitely will use them again."

"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!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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

It’s best to use an exterior latex acrylic paint to promote maximum adhesion to composite decking. This flexible paint type can better cope with the natural expansion and contraction that can occur with composite deck boards. Oil-based paints won’t adhere as effectively and are more likely to crack and peel as the boards flex. Testing whether your chosen paint will stick on an inconspicuous section or a spare board is a good idea.

Choosing the best color for your home exterior should factor in longevity as well as your personal taste. To keep your house looking newly painted as long as possible, stay away from red paint. Although red homes pop and are quintessential for country-style barns, red paint tends to fade fastest in the sun. Go with earth tones if you want paint that best resists fading.

Satin paint is generally considered a better choice for woodwork—including trim, baseboards, cabinets, and doors—than flatter finishes like eggshell or matte. Its soft sheen enhances architectural details and stands up well to frequent cleaning and daily wear. Compared to eggshell and matte finishes, satin is more durable for high-touch areas because it is less porous and doesn't absorb dirt as easily. Matte finishes, in particular, are prone to scuffs and are harder to clean, making them less practical for surfaces like doors and cabinets.

Two coats of stain are ideal for the best protection and aesthetic appeal. However, if your decking is made of particularly dense hardwood, you may only need one coat. If you want an intense color, two coats are ideal.
