"They dropped the materials off and I unfortunately got locked, but they were swift to strip the old roof and installed decking, roofing and exhausts, just before the coldest storm in 7 decades. I was snug as a bug in a rug and I could not be more relieved to have excellent work done so quickly and timely."

"I initially hired Rod to replace some rotting deck boards; he made some improvements to my deck that I love. The next project was exterior painting. I had started to paint my home and shed but quickly developed shoulder issues and could not finish. Rod finished the job and did many extras that have greatly improved the look of my home. Couldnâ t be happier and will be asking Rod for help again very soon. He was very easy to work with, communicated on a regular basis and has an impressive skill set! I recommend Rod without hesitation."

"I hired J Bustos to paint and stain a new set of stairs, and also stain some newly installed doors for a remodel project we are finishing. They did such a good job we also hired them to paint the outside of our home. This team was excellent. They did high quality work and took care of our property. They also took the time we needed to pick out the paint colors we really wanted, and best of all, they always followed up with us to make sure that we were happy with the end result. I really appreciated their approach when they came to bid the job: two experienced professionals looking over everything and they gave me a lot of great information about our options. They invest a lot of time in prep - don't hire them if you are looking for a slapdash job done quickly. But if you need a job done right, definitely call them for an estimate! Rudy and Juan treated us very courteously and all their workers are pros (thanks, Raul!) I wanted to share one specific story. Rudy was there during the prep phase wearing his white painters clothes. My son, age 11, asked him, "Why do you wear white every day? Do they make you?" Rudy replied, "No, nobody makes me wear all white - I choose to wear this because I am a professional." That spoke volumes to me."

"Wanted to take a minute to say I would recommend Outdoor Creations of Oklahoma for any roofing needs you might have. Jake was effective in working with us and our insurance company in helping us understand the process, from the initial visit by the claims adjustor, all the way through the final roofing install. The roofing crew were very professional and efficient. They replaced an area of bad decking, kept a clean job site and finished in just 2 days. As an additional item, we elected to have them install solar power roof vents, which will help keep our attic cooler in the hot Oklahoma summers. Every time I go outside and look at my new roof, I’m glad I used Outdoor Creations. Good job!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Hot, intense sunshine can cause your stain to dry too quickly, which could lead it to look uneven or patchy. If you’re staining the deck during hotter months, it’s best to do it in the morning or evening once the wood has had time to cool down. If you’re staining in cooler weather with less sunshine, the time of day won’t make as much of a difference.

It’s necessary for paint to completely dry before exposure to rain, and that drying time varies by the type of paint used. Oil-based paint takes 6 to 8 hours to dry on average, meaning that’s the minimum time needed between the last brush stroke and the first raindrop. Latex paint dries faster at around 1 hour, and acrylic paint is even quicker, usually drying in about 30 minutes. If rain is in the forecast, check the paint manufacturer's details before laying on a new coat. 

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.

Yes, it is generally a very good idea to seal your deck after pressure washing. Power washing removes not only dirt and debris but also a thin layer of wood, leaving the surface exposed and more susceptible to weathering. Sealing is almost always needed after this process. After a general cleaning, sealing isn't automatically necessary if the existing sealant is still intact. You can test the surface by placing a few drops of water on it. If the water beads up, the sealant is working. If it soaks into the wood, it's time to apply a new sealant. If it has been a few years, it's wise to remove the old sealant, wash the deck, and reseal for maximum protection.

For homes in areas with extreme weather, high heat, or intense sun exposure, high-quality acrylic paint is the best option. Acrylic paint is durable, resistant to both heat and cold, and provides a protective barrier with excellent UV resistance. For best results, look for acrylics that contain natural earth pigments, which are better suited for resisting sun damage. While oil-based paint is also durable, it can be prone to fading in high heat and can become too viscous to apply easily in cold temperatures. Additionally, choosing a neutral or light color like gray, beige, or white can help, as these colors absorb less heat than darker shades.
