"Don is a real gentleman. He is old school and a class act! His crew is very professional and their attention to detail is bar none, the best I have seen in many decades! Don reviewed what needed to be done in very specific terms and executed the project exactly as he described it. Other aspects of his scope of work was wood repair, deck restoration, chimney restoration and flashing repairs, interior painting and water damage restoration. All were executed flawlessly! I highly recommend Don and have already booked him to do more work on my older cottage on Torch Lake. Thank you Don!"

"Can’t say enough about how Gabe and crew made sure the job was done right. No cutting corners or “good enough” attitude here. They literally scraped and sanded our entire home’s exterior. They seamlessly replaced the many boards that had damage, even added a cosmetic ceiling under a side porch. It looks like a new home. Additionally, they are really easy to work with. They were respectful and unobtrusive despite our many guests in and out while they were working. Have already signed up to have them back to power wash and stain the decks next year."

"Ashley restained our deck and painted the railings and spindles. She also repainted our front door and trim. She goes above and beyond with all of her work. She fixed and filled all the holes and gaps in our deck and weatherproofed it as well. She is knowledgeable and researches products and how to best use them. Ashley has excellent communication. She keeps you updated on the progress of your project every step of the way. She delivers as expected and the quality of her work is outstanding. This is the second project Ashley has worked on in my home and I highly recommend using her. I will definitely call her again in the future."

"We asked Dave for two projects 1) prepare and restrain a large deck and 2) remove, replace and paint miscellaneous wood trim on the exterior of the house. Dave contacted us within minutes of our request, arrived in the late afternoon to give us an estimate and began within a week or so. He did what he said he would and in a timely manner. He kept us informed each step of the way. We were so happy with his work we asked him to do another interior project."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

You don't need to seal your deck after painting it because most exterior paints are waterproof and weather-resistant. While stealing is not necessary, it can add an additional layer of protection.

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.

Here's the deal with leaving used rags covered in oil-based stain lying around in a pile: Depending on the conditions, these rags can take just an hour or up to a few days to combust. The source of ignition is caused by trapped heat that can be compounded if the rags are near a heat source.

Yes, staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan, typically by five to 10 years. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and rot over time. Applying a treatment creates a protective shield that helps prevent splintering, fading, and decay, preserving the wood's strength and appearance. A combination stain and sealer often provides the best protection, as it soaks into the wood grain rather than just sitting on top. This offers superior defense against UV damage and rot and lasts longer than a sealer alone. To maintain the wood's natural look, consider using a near-translucent stain. You should plan to reapply the stain or sealer every two to three years.
