"Proud Work Ethics, LLC did a great job of power washing and staining my deck. Although we had changes to our original plan, Bob went with the flow and made sure I was satisfied with the outcome, Bob is a real professional, whom I feel goes out of his way to satisfy is customers. I would hire Bob again and highly recommend him to others."

"State wide stained our entire 4,100 sq. Ft. Cedar sided contemporary which has multiple rooflines and 30â high sections. Danâ s crew was neat and efficient, finishing earlier than projected. Dan was easy to work. Their pricing was excellent as well. I would use them for any painting project."

"Eric refinished our garage door and back porch steps which were in rough shape. He also painted the trim and shutters. It was a big job and required a lot of sanding, scraping and putty work. We are very happy with his work. He takes his time, does careful prep and paints neatly. No slops on the windows. The garage door and steps look like new. We will use him again. He is honest and trustworthy. A week later we asked him to come back and refinish our 60-year-old knotty pine kitchen cabinets. He did a fantastic job on him and they look like new now"

"I have a house with a stained cedar exterior and I needed the window trim re-stained. There are a lot of windows and it is a big job.
Mark and his crew came eaarly in the morning  and worked until dark to get it all done on one of the few dry, sunny days we had that week.  They were very neat and professional and and took great care not to get the stain on the windows!  Mark is a great guy, he and his crew  have great attention to detail, I wouldn't hesitate to use him again!

"The work was done professionally and completely as discussed with the contractor. I appreciated the skill and the dedication of the workmen. The result is beautiful. The contractor came when promised, and worked steadily until it was done. I would hire the firm again in a heartbeat. (This project included some carpentry to repair insect and woodpecker damage and to stabilize some railings, followed by power washing, staining the flooring of the deck(s) and painting of handrails. Craftsmanship was excellent in all respects, as was cleanup when it was complete.)"

"Tom and Matt gave me an amazing quote for the painting of the entire house, the trim and they even painted our metal rails. Additionally they power washed the house and stairs and concrete around the house making the house look amazing! They breathed life back into this old home we just purchased. They are very friendly, hard workers, and trustworthy. I will be hiring them again for a few more house projects!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Most gutter painting pros also specialize in complete home exterior painting. You may save by making your gutter painting part of the cost to paint the exterior of a house in its entirety. Many people have all parts of their home exterior painted simultaneously to keep everything looking equally fresh. Consider having walls, trim, porches, shutters, and doors painted as well.

Satin paint is generally considered a better choice for woodwork—including trim, baseboards, cabinets, and doors—than flatter finishes like eggshell or matte. Its soft sheen enhances architectural details and stands up well to frequent cleaning and daily wear. Compared to eggshell and matte finishes, satin is more durable for high-touch areas because it is less porous and doesn't absorb dirt as easily. Matte finishes, in particular, are prone to scuffs and are harder to clean, making them less practical for surfaces like doors and cabinets.

Yes, it is important to wash your deck before painting to ensure the paint applies well and adheres properly. While you don't have to use a pressure washer, it is one of the most efficient cleaning methods. Pressure washing can quickly remove dirt, wood fibers, and flaked paint, getting deeper into the wood than manual scrubbing. You can also clean the deck with a stiff broom and a cleaning solution. Regardless of the method, a clean surface is essential for good paint adhesion. Make sure the deck is completely dry before applying any paint.

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

It’s often best to spray on deck sealer. Sprayers can apply sealant more quickly and evenly than rolling while still enabling you to reach tight spaces. When using a sprayer, always use a low-pressure setting at a close distance to ensure an even application. Avoid using sprayers on windy days.
