"I was so impressed with Wilber and his employees that in addition to painting our deck, I also hired him to pressure wash our deck and fence, replace the lattice on our pergola, as well as perform some other minor wood work. His responsiveness, quality of work and price were all excellent and would be hard to match. I have already referred him to several others in our neighborhood and look forward to hiring him again in the future!"

"Gabriel was very responsive in providing an estimate/proposal. We struggled with scheduling due to weather - rain and temperature. Once weather cooperated, work was scheduled. Both the cleaning and painting crews were timely and diligent workers. They were careful in protecting plants surrounding the deck and in planters on the deck. Work was completed on time and budget. Have received numerous compliments on the appearance of the deck.."

"Tim and his team were courteous and professional during every step of the way. This was a large job and we had a tight timeline of 2 weeks between closing on the house and moving in. They started and ended on time, and even came back after the move to touch up where the mover's had left a few blemishes at no extra charge! All of the trim (crown moldings, chair rails, window frames, and floor trim) looks fantastic. This is an older house, so there were a lot of holes in the walls to deal with, but every room looks brand new now, with no signs of any holes or anchors. The job went so well that we hired them to stain our deck 2 months later- and it looks great as well! I would highly recommend Tim and his team for your next paint project."

"The crew was easy to work with and did a very good job. Weather was a challenge and they worked one Saturday to get the project finished. I think all of the cedar got 2 coats of stain as proposed, and they willingly bought the Olympic stain that I requested. They stated beforehand that they would caulk and finger smooth all windows, doors, and joins. They did this in most of the obvious places on the front of the house, but some of the caulk lines in the back appear to have been applied on top of the existing 8 year old caulk and were obviously not finger-smoothed. They honored their estimate and they were very reasonably priced. I never saw any to them wear a mask or face covering even when standing close to me in a conversation. They certainly didn't need masks when working, but all workers need to wear them when in close contact with a customer. I would hire them again. It was a good experience and I feel like I got what I paid for."

"We had had Powerhouse do some exterior painting for us last summer and they did an awesome job. Very conscientious, and thorough. We then talked to Brian about possibly replacing a couple of our windows—one in front and one at the back. We have an older home and like the stained interior, and even though wood windows aren’t recommended, we chose to do that since we didn’t want to replace ALL of the windows at one time. I did a lot of research and worked with Tommy Underwood, who again, did a very thorough job ordering the window and keeping me in the loop. He listened to what I had said, and ordered the window for us. Since the original windows are 30 years old, you can’t get ‘exactly’ the same kind, but they did a superb job of finding a very similar replacement window. The installation was fairly easy, but finding the closest stain color was not. It took a lot of trial and error, but they stuck with it and did an excellent job. We are so pleased because there will be more window replacement in our future and we’ve found a company. (Powerhouse) and a product that works well for us. Thank you to Brian, Tommy, and Wes for their hard work. We are very pleased with the result."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, you must thoroughly clean your deck before staining. If you don't, dirt, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped between the wood and the new stain. This not only looks unsightly but also prevents the stain from penetrating the wood properly, reducing its ability to protect the deck from weather and UV rays. As a result, the stain won't last as long or look as good. Any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage. Always wait at least 48 hours after cleaning for the wood to dry completely before applying stain.

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.

It’s a good idea to sand your porch before painting. This will remove loose or chipped paint and debris, and give you a cleaner surface so that your new paint goes on smoothly. But if the existing surface is in good condition, it’s not necessary to sand your porch before you paint.

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.
