"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

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 important to wash your deck before painting to ensure the paint applies well and adheres properly. While you don't have to use a pressure washer, it is one of the most efficient cleaning methods. Pressure washing can quickly remove dirt, wood fibers, and flaked paint, getting deeper into the wood than manual scrubbing. You can also clean the deck with a stiff broom and a cleaning solution. Regardless of the method, a clean surface is essential for good paint adhesion. Make sure the deck is completely dry before applying any paint.

A properly applied coat of stain will last between 3 and 8 years, depending on your climate. If you live in a place where your fence experiences a lot of moisture or high heat, your stain will last for a shorter period than in more temperate conditions. We recommend reapplying stain every 3 to 5 years to keep your wood in good condition.

Routine cleaning, sealing/staining, and inspection prolong deck life and appearance.

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.
