"I was so impressed with Top of the Line Painting. Weather held up the work for over a week but Matt stayed in touch almost every day. His team came at the designated time and finished staining not only a two-tier deck but also painted the front porch in less than a day. They also pressure-washed the house and it looks beautiful. The work they performed was absolutely professional and I am extremely happy with the job they did. I highly recommend this company!"

"This was one of the best experiences we have had working with a contractor. It was a for a large install of ceramic tile. From removing the old hardwood, to leveling, to tile install and quarter round install through final cleanup, all was great. The finished flooring looks fantastic! Very diligent, thorough and professional from start to finish. As a bonus they also painted an area of our home with 16’ ceilings and it looks great, saving us time and a lot of effort. 5 stars plus!!!"

"all of the work was done in 2.5 days. very professional crew, equipment and truck. they cleaned up after everyday. they even brought in excess paints and stains from previous jobs to stain my privacy fence and deck, something that I was not charged for. I went with 3 quotes but for the work needed these guys had the best price."

"Excellent work and I have high standards! Company was always on time, professional, and friendly. Was shown each day what work was completed and what they’d paint the next day. I would definitely use Strokes of Excellence again and already recommended to friend looking for a painter."

"Let me start off by saying I have never written a review for anything, but Lakeside offers 50 dollars for any review, good or bad, so why not. I'm about as skeptical and stubborn as they come (and proud of it), so when a salesman shows up at my door offering something that sounds too good to be true, normally they would get a no thank you, and have a nice day. Maybe it was I was concerned about the condition of my roof or the thought of protecting and adding value to my biggest investment but for whatever reason when Kevin Cooke showed up at my door saying he could get me a new roof for the cost of my deductible, I was interested (but skeptical). Kevin explained the process thoroughly, and against my better judgement, I took a "chance". Lakeside had their inspector out the next day to look at my roof, I indeed had storm damage and the ball started rolling from there. Kevin again explained the process a few more times to me, and kudos to him for being patient, informative, and not pushy at all. After deciding I wanted to submit an insurance claim, Kevin handled all the heavy lifting with the insurance company. After the adjuster approved a full roof replacement, it was about 2 weeks and work started. As far as the actual roofers (im guessing typical roofing sub contractors), the work looks good, clean up was good, no leaks after a couple storms and comes with a big piece of mind with a 5 yr craftmanship warranty. Only "issue" Id say was I had requested to Tom (project manager) that id rather them leave the rain diverters off as I was going to be installing gutters. They ended up getting put on with the new roof, which wasnt a biggie i figured I could figure out how to take them off myself later, but a week later I got a call checking on how the work and experience was and i meantioned the rain diverters. It wasnt a few hours later Tom himself was at my house to remove them, kudos to him. Really amazing customer service, and I have no fear if a problem ever arises down the road that they will take care of it. Overall very good experience, and I have a brand new, good looking roof all for the price of my deductible, just as Kevin said. My advice for what its worth is dont hesitate to do business with this company, keep an open mind when Kevin or anyone of their other salesman show up at your door, and for Godsakes invite them inside into the AC, unlike me who made poor Kevin sweat to death because of my skeptisim, door to door sales is tough especially when its 100 degrees outside."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Staining a deck is typically less expensive upfront than painting. The cost to stain a deck professionally averages around $850, with most homeowners paying between $550 and $1,250, depending on the deck's size. A DIY staining project can cost less than $100. The cost to paint a deck ranges from $500 to $2,000. While the initial cost of staining is lower, it's important to consider long-term expenses. Paint can last up to 10 years, whereas stain needs to be reapplied every few years, which could lead to higher costs over time.

Yes, beginners can use a paint sprayer, but there is a learning curve. It's important to go slowly, read the instructions thoroughly, and spend some time learning the technique. Watching tutorial videos for your specific paint sprayer model can be very helpful. Before starting your main project, practice on a scrap surface to get used to the sprayer and avoid common issues like overspraying, which can cause drips, bubbles, and other imperfections. For safety, always wear a mask and gloves, and be careful not to touch the sprayer's tip when it's in use, particularly with high-powered airless sprayers.

Pricing depends on prep work, paint/stain choice, area size, scaffolding needs, and detailed trim inclusions like precision-balanced windowsills.

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.

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.
