"We hired Five Star Painting this past summer because they had done such a nice job seven years prior. They were extremely profession, from the initial call, through estimate, during the project, and following up afterwards. I would highly recommend them to family or friends."

I will use them moving forward with any type of pressure washing, staining and sealing of fence and other. Here are a few before and after."

Customers say: Quick response

"If you are looking for quality service with great attention to detail for a more than fair price, look no further. Steve was amazing. The quality of his work speaks volumes about his experience, and his pricing about his character. My wife and I hired Steve to do an entire interior job, which, by the end, we were blown away. Our home wasnt on the market for a week before it was rented, thanks to Steve! Will always use this business for future painting needs."

"Alex came to my house the day after we spoke on the phone. He gave me multiple estimates for my job at my request for different options. He was always responsive, professional and honest. I am planning on hiring them again over the summer for additional work and McCall's will be my Go-To contractor for decking, fences, and more. Can't give high enough praise."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

By applying protective finishes and using durable materials that withstand weather and time.

Avoid using cleaning products that are abrasive or contain bleach or acidic components on composite decking to avoid discoloration. Early-generation Trex decking isn’t designed to handle pressure washer cleaning—and if you use them on second-generation boards, always use a low setting to avoid the risk of damage that can risk voiding your warranty.
