"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."

"Randy Hudson did a great job of repairing/replacing a rotted deck post on my dad?s deck.  He was very good at assessing the damage and work necessary to correct the problem.  He was good about explaining the process to us so everyone understood what was to be expected.  Randy was very friendly and completed the work as planned and scheduled.  He also did a great job of installing new lattice for the deck skirting as part of the project.  I thought the price charged was fair and reasonable and we have asked him to give us an estimate to pressure wash and paint the deck and other house trim.

"I had seen Lisa Coles work over the years around Staunton, mostly in the downtown district where she was turning back time on structures. Using an artistic eye, she was painting buildings both large and small....with emphasis on reproducing that structure's history. I had saved enough money to put into re-doing my home and called Lisa for the outside job. She was there with a fantastic estimate by the next afternoon. I hired her on the spot and she told me it was time to decide on colors. I had a vague idea of what I wanted but Lisa was able to guide me with her knowledge of color, what looks right, and what compliments the landscape around the house. My house has many panels and original windows, with a multitude of gingerbread trim. She dropped off sample colors and got started with in 2 days of our first meeting. She worked tirelessly with her quiet unassuming crew. She was onboard not just as "the painter" but she helped identify what fixtures and hardware would best accent the home, to me that was above and beyond. I felt like she was more of a partner than a contractor. She was truly interested in the outcome. It is FABULOUS! It's historically accurate, stunning and a jewl box to be admired. I smile when I pull up to the house, daily. At one point she even painted a poured, rugged cement wall to look like faux stone. Not asked for by me at all....a brilliant suprise and why I hired her...for her artistic eye... I am glad that I chose Lisa. I now feel as though I have my very own piece of her art. My very own "Lisa Coles" to be enjoyed for years to come by myself and my neighbors. Now it's my job to keep the lawn and garden looking just as good, which means I have to get off here and mulch then mow lol!"

"G.W. Services pressure washed the entire house, move furniture ands plants off two decks; painted the decks, railing and strairs. They also waterproofed my shed deck and stairs. They worked quickly and efficiently. Everything was done well. And at a reasonable price. Highly recommended."

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.

You may be wondering: can you paint cement? Fortunately, the answer is yes.

To change the color of your cinder blocks, you have two options. You can either paint them or stain them. Either way, you'll be able to choose from a wide range of color options. Some popular colors for cinder block painting include off-white shades and gray tones, which add a modern spin to the traditional gray blocks.

The longevity of paint on wood depends on factors like the quality of the paint, surface preparation, exposure to elements, and maintenance. Exterior paint on wood surfaces can last 5 to 15 years or more with proper care and maintenance. Interior paint tends to have a longer life span, often 10 years or more. Regular cleaning, touch-ups, and addressing any issues like peeling or cracking can extend the life of the paint. 

You don’t necessarily have to remove all the old paint before repainting your deck, but it’s best to remove as much as possible to ensure a smooth and long-lasting finish. Prioritize scraping off loose, peeling, or flaking paint, and sand down rough areas to create a smooth surface for the new paint to bond with.

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.
