"We had an excellent experience. Ken was easy to deal with, they were prompt, they cleaned up, they problem solved when unexpected issues came up, they talked to us about changes and made wonderful suggestions. He was the best contractor I have hired in the last 7 years."

"We just had two different jobs done on our home by 5 Star Painting! We are thrilled to have found this company. We have our own home, plus 5 rent homes.v It has always been a challenge finding painters that are any good to maintain all of our homes. Or to show up when they say, etc. Then I found 5 Star on Home Advisor. Wendy came out first, viewed the job, then gave us a price. We agreed. We liked that they are insured and bonded. Their ad states they are always on time, never ask for a penny up front, and never up their bid. Everything they say in their ad is true! They showed up each day when they said they would be there. The work is beautiful, and done with such care and attention to detail. We had them do a second job besides painting the home, and that was to restain and renew our deck railings, Absolutely beautiful job! Thank you to the owners, Wendy and James. Also, kudos to all of the workers who were so polite, excellent workers, and did such a beautiful job. WE have more jobs on our home and on our rent homes for them. Wendy and James are the best! So happy to have found some painters that we can rely on. We frequently need painting work, and now we have an excellent, trustworthy company we can rely on! Thank you, again, to 5 Star Painting. We are so pleased to have found you! I will post further reviews as we have more work done!!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan, typically by five to 10 years. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and rot over time. Applying a treatment creates a protective shield that helps prevent splintering, fading, and decay, preserving the wood's strength and appearance. A combination stain and sealer often provides the best protection, as it soaks into the wood grain rather than just sitting on top. This offers superior defense against UV damage and rot and lasts longer than a sealer alone. To maintain the wood's natural look, consider using a near-translucent stain. You should plan to reapply the stain or sealer every two to three years.

Various kinds of substances and deck preservatives act as protective coatings for wood to prevent rot, which is caused by water getting into the wood and creating cracks and splits. Stains, paints, and sealants are the three best options to protect your wood, but there are also oils, varnishes, and waxes available. You’ll need to reapply sealant at least once per year, and you should inspect your wood deck regularly to look for signs of damage or general wear and tear.

Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years.

Ensure gutters and downspouts remain clean, monitor wall integrity, and promptly address any arising imperfections or peels concept permanence rooted.

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.
