"Kodra Painting LLC is prompt, efficient, and clear. I would recommend for any internal, external, or staining projects you may have. They use quality paint and materials, and include patching and repair, but they do a very good job on everything. It's not like they do "OK" patching/repair and great paint. They do all of it, and they do it all well."

"I hired Wolverine Custom Painting to restore my deck, which included replacing rotted wood and hand rails, power washing years worth of grime and mildew, and re-staining it to a beautiful dark shade of brown. I am more than happy with the work completed by Wolverine Custom Painting. I am very impressed with the skill of carpentry plus the quality of product that was recommended, the attention to fine details, the time that they took to prep the deck, the list goes on. Doug was  great with answering my questions and the crew was always friendly and professional. The deck was beautiful in its early days, and well, it just needed some TLC after being neglected for several years by the prior owners. Thank you, Wolverine Custom Paining for giving my deck the attention it needed and deserved and for bringing it back to life! I knew I had hired the right company when Doug said, "If I put my name on something, I want it to be the best." I agree wholeheartedly and that type of work ethic is hard to find. I would highly recommend the company."

"I learned that Peter and his crew had extensive experience in building decks and installing hardwood. We hire him to replace our deck which was done exceptionally well. One of Peter's crew, Vaso (sp) was an experienced cabinet maker. The amount of attention paid to detail, fit and finish went far beyond anything I've seen in deck construction. I mentioned to Peter that are next project would be to replace the flooring on our first floor. Again the quality and attention to detail exceeded all expectations. Peter and his crew are easy to work with, professional and work well as a team. Peter's is onsite directing the work and ensures all is done to his satisfaction. We couldn't be happier with the work he's done for us"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood’s grain for best results.

To make sure the paint won’t bubble as you apply it, make sure to paint on a day that’s cooler than 85 degrees Fahrenheit. When the temperature is too high, the paint won’t dry evenly, which can result in bubbles forming on the surface. Another way to prevent paint from bubbling is to clean the walls, apply primer, and let everything dry completely before you begin.

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.

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.

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.
