"Costas and his team did a wonderful job on my Aunt's home. What started off as a deck repair, turned into so much more (siding, windows, new 1/2 bath). The house had been in a bit of disrepair and he was very thoughtful and thorough in his approach to bringing it back to life. My family and I will enjoy it for many years to come, and I truly appreciate some of the little things he did along the way to ensure everything was done right. He took the initiative to select things when I was not able to be there. It felt very much like he was treating as if it were his own home. His attention to detail was terrific, and he was super responsive. THANK YOU again!"

Customers say: Quality work

"There are a lot of great things to say about Bill. First of all, he can do ANYTHING. Bill replaced siding, installed new plywood and Tyvec, painted my house and deck, built a new front porch, repaired and built new features on my back deck, eliminated rot, installed new gutters, re-insulated my basement, and even fixed a closet door in my house. He is a perfectionist and will treat your house like it is his own. Our house was in really rough shape before Bill came and now it looks stunning. We get compliments on it all the time. If you want someone that will do the job right, won't cut corners, and is a very nice person to work with - Bill is your guy."

"My project has just started. So far, I'm extremely impressed. The owner came out to give me an estimate, and discuss what I wanted for my home exterior staining. Very professional, courteous, and honest. The first stage of washing my home to prepare for staining was also impressive. The foreman who is overseeing the project arrived, and again reviewed everything that will take place. The crew then cleaned my home in only 2 hours! Again very impressive. Prior to leaving, they neatly stacked all the ladders that they used completely out of the way, which is even more important to me because I have a large dog on a run who loves to get into trouble with new objects in the yard. So far, I'm extremely happy with Northern Ridge and highly recommend them."

"Excellent company. Great service and communication. I has several rooms painted. The owner and crew were wonderful to work with. Courteous, helpful and did a through job. I had a lot of drywall tape and crack repair they did an excellent job with. Provided assistance and suggestions for color choices, daily and final walk throughs, left areas cleaned up at the end of each day. The estimate was a little higher than some others but I knew Derek and his crew were the right ones for the job. The quality and experience was well worth it. I would absolutely hire them again."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths

You have a couple of options when choosing a durable pool deck coating. Epoxy is common and offers excellent stain and water resistance. Epoxy also withstands high temperatures and UV lighting, making it ideal for sunny spots. You can also add a coating to cement, which significantly lowers the temperature of the concrete, is environmentally safe, and makes cleanup a breeze.

Hiring a contractor or professional deck refinisher is the best way to ensure your deck is properly stained. They have the expertise, tools, and supplies to do the job quickly and efficiently. However, staining a deck is a manageable task for most homeowners, and doing the job yourself can save money. Just keep in mind that DIY staining is a long process requiring physical strain, so it may not be the best option for everyone.

Various kinds of substances and deck preservatives act as protective coatings for wood to prevent rot, which is caused by water getting into the wood and creating cracks and splits. Stains, paints, and sealants are the three best options to protect your wood, but there are also oils, varnishes, and waxes available. You’ll need to reapply sealant at least once per year, and you should inspect your wood deck regularly to look for signs of damage or general wear and tear.
