"David was incredibly responsive and had great customer service. He cares about the customer being satisfied with the job. The deck turned out very nice. (note: I was a tiny bit worried about the painter diluting the stain (oil based) with water but it seems this is something that's sometimes done when using a sprayer. I do wish it was diluted with mineral based solution vs water but everything seemed to turn out well and I'm happy with my deck)"

"Ethan delivers exceptional service with outstanding attention to detail. He truly respects your belongings, schedule, and personal needs, making the entire process seamless. What impressed me most was his expertise in color selection—I’m incredibly indecisive, but he used his professional experience to recommend three perfect options tailored to my space. His guidance made all the difference for our home. After being blown away by his interior work, I hired him again for the exterior. He pressure washed, sanded, and stained our aging deck, even replacing rotted boards, transforming it into something that looks brand new. He also pressure washed and cleaned the entire exterior of our home, including the roof, with phenomenal results. Ethan’s professionalism and skill were so impressive that I’ve since hired him for my investment properties and rental units. His work speaks for itself—high-quality, reliable, and thorough. 10/10 recommend! Outstanding business!"

"I had a good experience with Jose's team - especially given my home being very delicate (over 100 years old)). They made sure to confirm everything, bring a crane to deal with the larger 20+ foot sides of my home, spent 3 days masking and painting, then cleaned up after they were done."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Adding a second coat of stain to wood can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.

Constant exposure to inclement weather conditions can damage your deck, causing it to fade, warp, or crack over time. Regular maintenance keeps it looking and performing its best. That means giving it a good cleaning and applying a quality sealant or wood treatment to help defend against moisture, sun damage, and everyday wear.

Choose based on climate, finish preference (glossy, matte), and durability. Tailored coatings also provide longevity.

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.

Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years.
