"Outstanding! Rob Potts (the owner) and his team were easy to work with while getting estimates, scheduling work and completing the fence staining project. Everyone on their team was hard working, very helpful, paid attention to detail and did a superb job! They stained my home fence and also stained the common area fence for our HOA. I highly recommend Potts Painting and would definitely hire them again."

"I am so pleased with my experience with Hedlund Painting. I contacted Zakary to repair trim / banister damage from an anxious puppy, as well as paint my kitchen cabinets and walls. I could not be happier with the result. Micah, the project manager, was on-time, detail-oriented, and caring in my home. I really appreciated how he stayed on top of the project, and that the project completed on time. I also want to credit the MASTERFUL painter/carpenter, Jesus, who painted our kitchen to PERFECTION and MASTERFULLY repaired our trim / banisters. I could not be happier with the outcome. Jesus was meticulous, skilled, polite, on-time, and a general delight to have in our home. I could not recommend Zakary, Micah, and Jesus enough - I will definitely be reaching out to Hedlund again for future home projects."

"The service from Rubumco was excellent from start to finish and even post completion. Russ the owner ensured that our house and decks were cleaned prior to starting the painting job to ensure a quality product and a sparkling house when the job was finished. I am very happy with how the paint is holding up; a testament to their workmanship. I even recently called to obtain some touch up paint due to some additional construction on the house. Russ answered my call and immediately ordered the paint for me. All I had to do was pick it up. Who does that anymore?!"

"Gus and his team are incredibly skilled and meticulous at their job! I've not only used Unlimited Painting Solutions for all my rental property painting needs, but also my personal home. Gus's team has revived everything from a worn out roof-deck, to large scale exteriors of apartment buildings. As someone who is extremely particular (especially when it comes to paint) and having experienced bad paint jobs done by others, I can personally vouch for Gus's level of professionalism and thoroughness that stands out from the rest."

"Vadim & Slavic devoted considerable unpaid time communicating expectations before starting work. We knew what to expect, and nothing went over budget. That's rare. Their balance of professionalism, courtesy and initiative was ideal. Not pushy, not too soft either. Just right. The subcontracted pressure washing prep team was equally courteous and detail-oriented. If you're staining a cedar deck, preparation is everything, and nothing was missed by the cleaning/prep team. Alex and Max did a beautiful job both painting deck railings and applying stain evenly to our perfectly prepped deck. Our property was protected from stray paint splatter because the taping job was perfect. No mess was left for us to clean up. In short, an A+ job. Highly recommended!"

"This company did a great job painting the exterior of my house. The original paint was in bad shape and they took time to properly pressure wash and prep the house before painting. They worked very quickly and were done much faster than I thought they would be. They also did a good job cleaning up the area after they were done. They were very professional and did a great job communicating with me."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Hangers are one way of attaching stair stringers to a deck. These metal hangers are usually adjustable, allowing you to find the ideal angle for a secure installation. They’re the best choice for installing longer staircases, such as one on a two-story deck, to reduce the load on the deck frame while keeping the stairs stable.

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.

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.

Two coats of stain are ideal for the best protection and aesthetic appeal. However, if your decking is made of particularly dense hardwood, you may only need one coat. If you want an intense color, two coats are ideal.

Yes, staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan, typically by five to 10 years. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and rot over time. Applying a treatment creates a protective shield that helps prevent splintering, fading, and decay, preserving the wood's strength and appearance. A combination stain and sealer often provides the best protection, as it soaks into the wood grain rather than just sitting on top. This offers superior defense against UV damage and rot and lasts longer than a sealer alone. To maintain the wood's natural look, consider using a near-translucent stain. You should plan to reapply the stain or sealer every two to three years.
