"When getting an estimate from Leo, we noticed that my recently installed deck was not properly supported. Leo was able to correct this problem and then apply the stain which was the original work to be done. Leo was very courteous and professional. His pricing was very competitive. He did a very good job, and I would hire him again."

"Sunflower Paintingâ s owner, Terry Counts, provided an accurate, clearly written estimate, for repairing, power washing, and staining two decks, repairing damage, sanding, and painting my foyer, hallway, kitchen, bathroom, and 4 doors doors. Terry delivered professional, high quality work on each of my projects, at the agreed upon cost, and he completed the work sooner than expected. I love the quality of his work, attention to detail before, during, and after project completion, contractual integrity (no hidden fees), work ethic, protection of the environment, timeliness and tidiness. Without reservation I recommend Sunflower Painting. Dr.A. (Fenton, MI)"

"All Pro Painting Services in Swartz Creek was 1 of 3 quotes we obtained for interior painting approx 1400 sqft home. Ed was the ONLY one who provided a written detailed proposal (VERY reasonable) along with his license number & multiple referrals (I called 3 & all were pleased with their work). His workers are THE BEST. Forman Chris has been with the company 14+yrs. He is a stickler for details & insured the job was done with the highest degree of quality. Chris2, his coworker, did a fabulous job caulking new crown molding before the painting started. These guys were very polite, asked if they had questions, worked diligently & quietly, cleaned up at the end of each work day & they did a super inspection & clean up on the last day. WE ARE EXTREMELY PLEASED. We recommend All Pro Painting Services with the higest confidence that you will be very happy with their work."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

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.

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must. 

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.
