"I can't say enough about Tad. I had a very unique project that I needed done and I couldn't seem to find anyone capable or willing to do the job. A family cabin/hunting shack on a small island in WI. Only way to get there was via boat. The cabin took on lots of damage from a tornado in 2017 and was never fixed correctly so the roof was leaking, boards were rotting, siding was pieced together, deck was rotten, floor was rotten and boards were moldy on the inside. I needed someone that was able to boat in supplies, materials and the river is very shallow at times so it requires a small boat, so lots of trips in and out with materials. I was looking everywhere and somehow found Tad's info but when I saw he was out of Bay City and the boat landing was 40 minutes away, I figured it was too far and didn't contact him. But my search at 11PM on Home Advisor had given Tad my information and the next morning, he called me. He was more than willing to check out the cabin and see if he was willing to take on the work. So, he met me at the boat landing a few weeks later when I could make it down there and he measured everything and said he would have a quote to me the same week, which he did. I didn't know what to expect as far as pricing but I can say for the amount of work he had to do to get materials in and out, it was certainly fair. The work he did was amazing. He replaced all the siding and stained it, put on a new tin roof, trim, new insulation, replaced all the moldy boards inside the cabin, repaired the rotten floor, put in a new floor, replaced the deck and will be back this spring/summer to stain it, fixed the picnic table. He did such a good job, I hired him to fix the boards on my deck in the twin cities and stain my deck which is over an hour from his house. Tad always responded to my emails quickly, my texts quickly and over the course of the months that the project took, I would say I consider Tad a friend. We text about hunting and other things. He is a really good guy, an extremely hard worker and articulate about his work. I intend to hire him again this summer for a couple small projects at the cabin and potentially to replace some flooring in our home. There isn't one thing I asked him if he could do, that he couldn't do and he never complained about any of it. He had to walk his boat up river many times to get through some of the shallow spots in the river. How he did some of the work by himself is beyond me. He had a helper for some of it but most of it he did on his own. I even stayed at the cabin with my 3 boys while he did some of the work and he worked around us, and the cabin is pretty small, 12'x20'. I highly recommend Tad to anyone who is looking to take on a project that they need help with!"

"Summit Painters showed up precisely when he said he would and worked diligently throughout the entire process. We wanted all Popcorn Ceilings removed throughout our main floor, all ceilings repainted, (total of 9 areas including 3 closets) all Wallpaper and Wallpaper Boarders removed and to repaint Hallway, Kitchen, Dining and Living Room to match. When he was allowing one project area to dry, cure or sand, he was working on another project in between. He never had down time. He completed the project the day he said he would. He was very accommodating, friendly and easy to work with. I highly recommend Summit Painters."

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

The best time to paint your deck is when temperatures are neither too cold (below 60 degrees) nor too hot (above 85 degrees). Always paint your deck when there’s no risk of rain. For fast-drying paint like acrylic or latex, ensure your deck can dry for at least four hours. Oil-based paints take longer to dry and may require 48 hours to completely cure.

Yes, you must thoroughly clean your deck before staining. If you don't, dirt, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped between the wood and the new stain. This not only looks unsightly but also prevents the stain from penetrating the wood properly, reducing its ability to protect the deck from weather and UV rays. As a result, the stain won't last as long or look as good. Any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage. Always wait at least 48 hours after cleaning for the wood to dry completely before applying stain.

Yes, many repair services include repainting to match the color of the existing siding or walls. Most professionals offer this service to ensure the repaired area blends in seamlessly.
