"Bobking did a great job on my house. They painted the external house, repaired my cracked chimney, laid cement in my front yard and did brick work in front to prepare for iron gate work(another company). Their customer service was great and they worked very fast. All of the work was neat and as expected. I will definitely use and recommend this company again."

"Olsen did a fabulous job! The deck looks great. He went above and beyond by cutting some branches off a tree that was leaving debris on my deck. He also fixed my electrical boxes on the back deck. His workers were polite. I would recommend Olsen and his price was very fair."

"We hired them to paint our townhouse in Greenpoint, repair the cornice, and install and paint a new stoop—and the work was exceptional from start to finish. They were meticulous about every detail, especially the cornice repair, which blended beautifully with the existing façade. The paintwork was crisp, even, and professionally finished throughout, and the new stoop looks fantastic—solid, cleanly installed, and perfectly painted. Just as impressive was how carefully they treated the property. They kept the work area organized each day and did an outstanding cleanup when everything was finished. It’s rare to find a contractor with this level of craftsmanship, care, and professionalism. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality exterior work."

"This company was terrific. They were very courteous, on time, efficient thorough and incredibly energetic. They did a great job on a large duplex with LOTS of mold and mess and the place looks like new. They also exceeded the requirements by power washing my fences, block along the driveway and even did the outside furniture! A couple of neighbors stopped by to admire their work and enquire as to their availability. They deserve a VERY high rating, You will be pleased. :-)"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

Beyond liquid rubber, homeowners can use sealants, stains, membranes, or tapes as waterproofing options. Oil-based or water-based sealants soak into the wood, creating a moisture-resistant barrier. Waterproofing stains—available in transparent, semi-transparent, and solid colors—add both protection and style to your deck. For heavy-duty waterproofing, deck membranes and waterproof tapes can be applied under the deck boards to direct water away from the structure below. Whatever method you choose, clean and prep the deck first to ensure the best, longest-lasting results.

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.

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.

It’s best to use an exterior latex acrylic paint to promote maximum adhesion to composite decking. This flexible paint type can better cope with the natural expansion and contraction that can occur with composite deck boards. Oil-based paints won’t adhere as effectively and are more likely to crack and peel as the boards flex. Testing whether your chosen paint will stick on an inconspicuous section or a spare board is a good idea.
