"Wilber and his team did a good job. There were some touchups for the paint and stain that required the crew to come back (perhaps I'm a bit demanding), but overall I'm pleased. The natural oak stain on the stairs was well matched to the existing flooring and the paint job was well done with Sherwin Williams Cashmere (upcharge from Promar). Overall a good value."

"We love how our deck now looks. We have a 33 year old wood deck which we wanted to keep. They replaced rotted boards & brought the steps to todays standards. We did two tone stain with the rail & floor natural & the rails, steps & lattice a darker sable stain. It takes time but weâ ll worth having patience. Very reasonable pricing. Thank you Greg for making our deck the best in the neighborhood!"

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."

"We had this deck repair done in 2019 by a contractor that didn't know what they were doing. Troy came in and expertly repaired our deck and made it safe again. He was fantastic to deal with and did a great job. We will definitely use Troy-Bilt again!"

"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!!!"

"The job went very well. Mr. Kirby gave me an approximate start date which was several months out which did not concern me. Because of his reputation he is very busy and my situation did not require immediate attention. When it became close to the original approximate start date I contacted Mr. Kirby and he told me it would be later than anticipated because of adverse weather conditions which I easily understand. Mr. Kirby notified me when he would be able to start and we consulted about the stain color and were able to match the original color perfectly from an old can of paint that had fortunately been left. He arrived early on the start date and as promised first powerwashed the house. He washed my small deck at no charge. The deck was not included in the original estimate. That was done gratis. Then the caulking commenced and when completed the windows were covered with plastic and painting commenced. We lost almost a week of painting because Mr. Kirby had a family emergency which sometimes is unavoidable and I understand. Life doesn't always go smoothly! After a four day break, Mr. Kirby commenced the painting and finished the work in three days. He also did an interior repair that was needed as a result of a roof leak. The damage is no longer visible. He charged $75.00. Another company gave me an estimate of $500! Several days after the work was completed I realized there was some tape residue on the outside of a second story window and contacted Mr. Kirby. He was here two days later and took care of that and some paint spots on a storm door. Mr. Kirby is a consummate craftsman and as a bonus, is a delightful person. I would not hesitate to recommend his services. I have several interior interior projects for next year and will definitely be using him."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

DIY is possible but presents risks of uneven surfaces or improper adhesion; professionals offer expertise to ensure a lasting finish.

Yes, it is generally a very good idea to seal your deck after pressure washing. Power washing removes not only dirt and debris but also a thin layer of wood, leaving the surface exposed and more susceptible to weathering. Sealing is almost always needed after this process. After a general cleaning, sealing isn't automatically necessary if the existing sealant is still intact. You can test the surface by placing a few drops of water on it. If the water beads up, the sealant is working. If it soaks into the wood, it's time to apply a new sealant. If it has been a few years, it's wise to remove the old sealant, wash the deck, and reseal for maximum protection.

Whether you can paint over your existing paint depends on what’s on there. Most of the time, you’ll want to sand down or scrape off the paint that’s currently coating your surface. Epoxy paint, for example, won’t let new paint stick to the surface. Latex paint is more forgiving and will accept a new coat, but a primer is recommended if you’re switching colors.

Hot, intense sunshine can cause your stain to dry too quickly, which could lead it to look uneven or patchy. If you’re staining the deck during hotter months, it’s best to do it in the morning or evening once the wood has had time to cool down. If you’re staining in cooler weather with less sunshine, the time of day won’t make as much of a difference.

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.
