"Excellent. His team removed the old stain and applied new darker stain to kitchen cupboards. They bubbled the kitchen area, including the contents areas of cupboards and drawers. Very little mess. Very quick and professional work. Great value for the money paid."

"Mr. Kelly was very reliable, he called when he had to be late for his appointment. He pressure washed the entire house, driveway and pool deck and did a great job. He is personable and takes pride in his work. I thought that his rates were reasonable for all that he did."

"I have had my house pressure washed  before but it never looked this good. It looks like my house has just been painted.  The house and the whole yard is so bright now.  Giancarlos was very good, professional and polite,  I will use Luxz from now on. What wonderful experience!"

"We had a great experience with Rigo. He and his crew were very friendly and did a great job. They replaced our front and back decks, repaired a leaking pipe, changed several light fixtures, removed an old dish network dish, hung and painted several doors, and mounted a TV. They had to break the wall out and frame it for the mount and it looks exactly like it did before. We will definitely have them back when we need them and have already spoken to them about remodeling our kitchen next year."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.

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.

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

Deciding whether to stain or paint a pool deck depends on your budget, desired look, and the deck's material. Both options can work. Paint offers a wider variety of color options, provides excellent water resistance, and can last longer. However, it requires a primer and can eventually fade or peel. Stain is often cheaper, easier to apply, and penetrates the wood for a more natural look and longer-lasting finish. It also has great water resistance. The downsides are fewer color options and the need for a sealant. The choice can also depend on the deck material; for example, staining may be a better option for concrete as it bonds well and lasts longer than paint.

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.
