"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

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.

Oxygen bleach uses hydrogen peroxide as a base and won’t harm wood when using it as a cleaner. On the other hand, chlorine bleach breaks down wood at the cellular level and causes irreversible harm. Although you may not see immediate damage to wood after exposing it to chlorine bleach, its strength and integrity are now compromised.

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

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.

It's okay to walk on a newly painted deck after about four to six hours as long as the weather has been dry. Be sure to wait at least 24 hours before you place any outdoor furniture or grills on a freshly painted deck, though.
