"This is a local family business. Three generations of the family showed up at our house to work. They were on time, friendly and very professional. We got an estimate from Brad. Benjamin and his team showed up on time and did all the work in one day! Benjamin's grandfather who is a carpenter came out to replace wood for two of the windows. It was great because we didn't have to contact another contractor. Brad stopped in occasionally to make sure things were running smoothly. The guys were very careful not to trample my plants around the house and they cleaned up as they worked. They left our yard immaculate when they left. They did a superb job painting the windows and staining the airing deck railing. The house looks so much better and we have peace of mind that everything was done the right way. On a personal note, we love the fact that they are a local Christian based, family business. We had to leave the house a few times during the day and we had peace of mind that we could trust them when we were gone. They all were so sweet and kind. Even our dogs adored them. We highly recommend Liedel Power Cleaning and Painting. We will contact them next year to have our garage painted. We couldn't be happier!"

"This company is very amazing....so knowledgeable, kind, courteous and excellent craftsmen. We have a very large 3 story, 110 year old home with intricate wood detailing, many doors and decks, and hundreds of mullions around the entire exterior. This project took over 3 weeks and they worked every day, even some weekends. They never left a mess and did not leave until everything was perfect. They respected our home and our property. I would definitely hire this highly professional company again."

"We hired them to paint the exterior of our large home and the results exceeded our expectations. The crew was professional, showed up on time every day, and took great care protecting our landscaping and windows. They prepped thoroughly—scraping, sanding, and priming where needed—before applying a high-quality exterior paint. The finish looks smooth and even, and the color is rich and consistent across the entire house. Communication was excellent throughout the project, and they cleaned up completely when finished. Highly recommend for any large exterior paint or stain job"

"Doug did great job keeping me informed of the date work would be performed. He quickly replied to questions I sent him via email. Donny & Will did a great job staining my home. I did have to have them return to re-stain a section of the house that showed brush + roller contrast. They avoided damaging plants in area of the work! They listened to my concerns, doing their best to accede my concerns."

"AJ is a fantastic professional. The roof of my patio was about to cave in and I was in a serious bind. I received numerous quotes and every company wanted to replace the entire patio. They told me they could not just fix the roof. I contacted AJ and he was able to come out the same day, took a look at my problem and gave me a quote for exactly what I wanted. He gave me a fair estimate and started the project ASAP (2 days later). He knocked down this dangerous saggy roof the first day. I knew I was in good hands with his constant reassurance. He completed this project a week before his estimated timeframe. I would highly recommend AJ for ANY Handywork that you need done. He knows everything from roofing to electrical to plumbing - You name the job he can do it. I will be hiring him again for future projects. . Thanks AJ !!"

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

The staining or painting process involves cleaning the deck, sanding surfaces, applying a primer (if needed), and carefully applying stain or paint for an even, lasting finish.

You’ll need to wait until the surface is completely dry, which can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours under optimal conditions. The waiting period depends on several factors, including the type of siding and the weather conditions. Trying to paint before the surface is completely dry can trap moisture under the paint, leading to bubbling, blistering, and mold growth.

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.

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.
