"We had obtained 3 bids from local companies. Wilber's was in the middle. We picked them because of impression we got on their interest in the job and professionalism. Danny did the estimate. Most of the infraction we had was with Melvin who acted as foreman. The interaction with him and his willingness to do a perfect job with his crew was outstanding. Although they underestimated the amount of work it would take to do the deck part they did overall an excellent job. Initially they tried to only chemically strip the deck and power wash. However power washing the red cedar was not the best idea. Ultimately they had to sand down the deck and railings completely to repair damage from power washing and to prepare for the stain. They also worked though weekends to get the job done and make best use of the variable weather in April. We would recommend Wilber's and use them again."

"We recently had the exterior of our home painted, and the results exceeded our expectations. The transformation is remarkable—it truly looks like a different house. The crew painted the siding, fence railings, window trim, gutters, and front door trim with excellent attention to detail. Before any painting began, they thoroughly power washed the entire exterior to ensure proper surface preparation, which really shows in the quality of the finished work. Most importantly, they followed through on every aspect of the original agreement. The project was completed as promised, with professionalism, quality craftsmanship, and great attention to detail throughout the entire process. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable contractor for exterior painting. Their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction made the entire experience outstanding."

"I couldn’t be happier with my experience. Not only did the work come out pristine but the amazing customer service throughout the entire process made my home refresh even more pleasant. I debated doing the painting myself but I am so very glad I didn’t! They are precise, attentive and keep the space very clean during the entire process. Highly recommend"

"I have no complaint with the quality of their work. However, as usual with a house built in 1895, the job grew as they worked! A simple gutter replacement turned into a complete Porch roof replacement. Considerably more expensive. I could see the water damage myself so I didnâ  t feel they were being dishonest. The job was completed quickly and efficiently. I am satisfied."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

A five-gallon bucket of deck stain will cover roughly 875 square feet in a single coat. Actual coverage will vary based on the type of wood you’re staining and the number of coats. If you plan on doing multiple coats, multiply the square footage by the number of coats to calculate how many buckets of stain you’ll need.

You don't need to seal your deck after painting it because most exterior paints are waterproof and weather-resistant. While stealing is not necessary, it can add an additional layer of protection.

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.

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

You should refinish your deck to maintain its appearance, durability, and longevity. Refinishing your deck protects the wood from foot traffic and the elements. It also helps extend its life span by keeping rot, mildew, and termites at bay. By maintaining your deck, you can avoid the cost of replacing your deck sooner. A refinished deck also looks great and restores some of its original beauty.
