"Trim Line Painting quickly responded to my request for External House Painting quote. I selected them (from multiple quotes) because they had experience with staining a cedar structure, their price was fair, they provided references and photos of previous clients. Glen (owner), was very good about letting me know the scheduling of my project and when he would be on site. This was a great experience and I highly recommend your consider Trim Line Painting for your next project!"

"Mario was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the very beginning of the quoting process to finishing the deck staining, he was very professional, communicative, friendly, and did an amazing job. His pricing was more than reasonable and I look forward to working with his company again next year to repaint the exterior of my house."

"We chose Procoat Plus because that was the best bid. They did a great job prepping and painting a triplex. They took care that the tenants' cars weren't affected by overspray - some weren't home to move their cars, so Nick's team covered them. The tenants found them and Nick to be very courteous and helpful. We appreciated that Nick knew a matte paint that would be washable would be best. It looks great. We've already recommended Procoat Plus to others."

"Leo came out within one business day of our initial contact to give me a quote and just a few days later was back with his team to start work. My deck is a second story deck with a plywood platform that they tore down, painted & replaced in 1 day in addition to replacing the steps on my stairs. When they came back, the team put 2 coats of a rubber coating on the surface of the deck, built & installed wooden shutters. The next day they started knocking out my new Trex railing system around the deck & stairs. Throughout the project & at the end of each day, Unique kept the workplace clean (the deck is over my driveway), I was able to park in it each time after they left which I really appreciated. Leo stuck to his quote, called to let me know when they were on their way, Leo & his team members were very polite & worked hard to knock out my project in 2 1/2 days whereas another contractor who was working alone quote $1500 more and a time estimate of 4 weeks. Not only would I hire them again but I have already gotten a quote to do matching railing on my concrete porch steps, which they will do as soon as the materials arrive, and in a few months Iâ ll have them back to retile around my fireplace. Very satisfied with the work, the speed & the team."

"We contracted with Keith and Jared this Spring to paint our home and out buildings exterior after seeing the job they did on our neighbors home. We could not be happier with their work. They went out of their way to make sure everything was done correctly and to our satisfaction. They were also a pleasure to work with! If you are looking for a first class paint job on your property, you’ll not find a better team! I give them a triple A rating!!!"

"Responded to my emails in a timely manner. Showed up on time. Did it in the time they estimated. I didn't have enough stain so David let me know I could order it and they would pick it up. So I was able to order it at Home Depot in Snohomish and they picked it up for me so they could keep working."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

A wood deck requires annual cleaning and regular inspections for loose or broken boards, nails, and screws. It should be refinished by applying a stain or sealer every two to three years to protect the wood from water damage, rot, mildew, and sun fading. The exact frequency can depend on the climate and the deck's exposure to sun and moisture. If your deck is painted, it will need repainting approximately every 10 years. Signs that your deck needs refinishing include faded, splintering, or warping boards.

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.

Staining pressure-treated wood is a recommended practice. While inherently resilient, it's not impervious to moisture and UV exposure. Staining treated wood is feasible and recommended for enhanced protection and longevity. Applying stain and sealant safeguards against degradation, prolonging its life span. These measures shield the wood from environmental threats while augmenting its aesthetic appeal, ensuring your investment endures the test of time.

When choosing between deck stain or paint, knowing what will last longer is important. Deck paint lasts longer than deck stain. With deck paint, you can get up to 10 years of coverage before you need to reapply. With deck stain, that time is significantly shorter at two to three years. 

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