"What impressed me most was the care and attention shown to me and my wife by the Owner, Henry Webber. He suggested the right place to buy the paint which provided a discount and also paint color and selection advice as well. Henry also discussed the different approaches to the trim. Because so much work was being done, we had questions about access to rooms and cleanup and removal of supplies. Henry explained exactly how the work was going to be done and assured us that everything would be cleaned to perfection. He was right on that. The finished work looked spectacular. One of the best treats was that Henry's quote was very reasonable - not the highest. A few months later my 91 year old mother wanted her house painted. I didn't hesitate in recommending Henry. For the first time in my recollection I didn't even think about getting competitive bids. The price was reasonable in my opinion and again, the workmanship was perfect. Mal Sander - Peters Twp."

"After some initial cleaning it was determined that some extra measured were required to clean the deck. Don and his team arranged for a paint rep to come and review our deck and offer some suggestions on cleaning and staining. Don and son Shane went over an above my expectations, and followed the rep's suggestion in using a cleaning agent to redo the deck. Don and his team re-cleaned our deck at their expense and returned it to a ready for stain condition.

Great Job!"

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.

No, it is not okay to paint over rotted wood. Painting over rotted wood will not address the underlying issue and can trap moisture, leading to further decay. Properly addressing the rotted wood by removing and replacing or repairing the damaged areas is necessary before you can even consider painting.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.

The best way to protect a deck is to prevent damage from UV light, water, mold, mildew, insects, and abrasive cleaning methods. Sweep regularly to prevent debris that hides bugs and traps moisture that can result in mold or mildew growth. Use a deck cleaner once a year to remove algae, mold, and mildew. Avoid using pressure washers on high, as they can damage the wood. Applying a deck sealant can protect the wood from UV and water damage, and adding shade can also reduce sunlight damage.

Always wait until the morning dew has dried before you stain your deck. The stain needs a fully dry surface to sink into.
