"I recently hired Ethan and his team to paint my house and stain my deck, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, they were incredibly professional and easy to work with. Communication throughout the entire process was excellent. They were responsive, clear about timelines, and kept me updated every step of the way. It really made the whole project feel smooth and stress-free. The crew was also extremely polite and respectful while working at my home. They took great care with everything, and their attention to cleanliness really stood out. At the end of each day, the area was neat and organized, which I really appreciated. Most importantly, the quality of the work speaks for itself. The house looks fantastic and the deck staining turned out great. It’s clear they take pride in what they do. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for painting or staining work. Professional, communicative, clean, and courteous — a great team all around."

"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)"

"our 2nd story deck was taken down by tree during the awful 2023 ice storm in Kalamazoo. Mike, the company's owner at JRD, was very down to earth and helpful, explained our options with out trying to oversell anything. He immediately returned calls and addressed any concerns on the spot. The two contractors in charge of completing the work, Curtis Doyle and partner Joe, were nothing short of amazing! It was a very challenging project with canterlevered supports needing replacement, a deck with various heights that needed railings installed in a completely custom made way. Truly impressive! They were not only 100% professional, they were very friendly, respectful of our property, totally reliable and caring, easing our mind over any concern, always taking the time to explain things and checking with us before proceeding until we were happy and reassured. Honestly, it was a pleasure to have these young men work in our home projects. Do not hesitate for a second to hire this company and ask for Curtis and Joe to do your remodeling or repairs."

"The TRuePro painter did a outstanding job of painting my summer cottage. He paid a great of attention to details after doing a power wash. He then did a very excellent job using a paint roller and a brush making sure to cover every portion of wood surface involved. The result was my "old" cottage looked new again! I would highly recommend the painter and his work!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.

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.

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.

You should seal your deck every one to two years, but you’ll also need to clean and repair your wood deck throughout the seasons. You may want to hire a local house cleaning service to sweep and clean the deck thoroughly. These cleaning services cost around $50 per hour.

Inspect your deck at least once a year, and if you notice any damage or rot, expect to spend about $10 to $50 for simple DIY fixes or about $2,000 for professional repairs on more extensive damage.

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.
