"Wilber and crew were fantastic! Estimate was straightforward, understandable and prompt. Crew was on-time to start the work, brought four people and knocked it out in a day. Three things really stood out: 1. They went out of their way to take exceptional care of our home while doing the work...everything from how they closed doors to how they tarped the entire home from the front door to the room in the back of the house. 2. The quality of the work - the crew was meticulous about cleaning up the walls, ensuring all outlets were removed, mirrors removed, etc. 3. Communication - Wilber was very clear as to how long it would take, exactly how much paint we needed, etc. He checked in with us midway through the day to ensure we saw the first coat and how things were progressing. I would not hesitate to use Wilber Painting again"

Customers say: Terrific value

"Jeff and Donny did an excellent job staining our replacement two-level deck with pergola, rails and steps. We chose Cabot semi-transparent stain and the results are beautiful. Jeff gave us a fair quote and arranged the project date. Communication was great. We will look forward to more home projects with Jeff in the future."

"Everything turned out amazing! Donnie and his son were so Profesional! They powerwashed my house, painted the entire interior, fixed the drywall where it needed, painted and stained my front porch and stained my back deck. He even went above and beyond by reinstalling my railing that leads upstairs that was loose and installed a missing doorstop in one of the bathrooms! Very reasonable pricing and I would definitely recommend him to anyone! Thank you so much for doing such an awesome job my house looks amazing thanks to you and your company!!!"

"Jesus first met with us to give us an estimate and walk us through our options. We were impressed with Jesus's knowledge of roofing and dedication to providing quality work and quality materials. Although he was confident in his ability to provide the service for the best price and quality, he was not pushy. He encouraged us to get other estimates for the job. We took his advice to get other estimates, and he was dead on with the price/quality difference. Another estimate we received for the job was $1,300 more and did not use the same quality of materials. Since we were unsure about what shingles would look best for our roof, Jesus took us to his supplier (ABC Roofing Supply) to look together. Jesus helped us to make the decision while not being overbearing. We gave Jesus a 50% down payment on Monday, and his crew was there and finished by Saturday of the same week. The work looks wonderful and could not have gone any smoother. I was especially impressed with the amount of cleanup that they did. No dreaded roofing nails scattered throughout the yard. Jesus is doing work for other people in our neighborhood, and I can assure you he and his crew are some of the hardest working men around. They come early and stay late to get the job done.

"EaZy Construction replaced our roof and caulked around the window frames in the front of my house in July 2020. The crew was very professional, did a great job, showed up as expected, and did a thorough job cleaning up before they left. I would highly recommend them!"

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

Always sand a deck before repainting so the wood is smooth and ready for paint. While you do not need to fully remove paint before repainting, sanding helps remove any areas with weather and sun damage. Sanding also helps remove chipped or flaking paint and opens the wood pores to improve paint adhesion.

A five-gallon bucket of deck stain will cover roughly 875 square feet in a single coat. Actual coverage will vary based on the type of wood you’re staining and the number of coats. If you plan on doing multiple coats, multiply the square footage by the number of coats to calculate how many buckets of stain you’ll need.

Waterproof paint creates a barrier to hold back moisture, but it doesn’t eliminate the source of the water. If you hire a basement waterproofing contractor, many will tell you that waterproof paint is only a temporary solution. On average, you can expect it to last from six months to two years in a wet basement before deteriorating.

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.

Choosing the right product involves understanding deck material, desired finish, and local weather conditions. Opt for high-quality, weatherproof formulations ensuring long-term durability and appearance retention.
