"Tommy and his crew did a great job re-staining our cabin and deck. Tommy communicated throughout the planning and painting process, which was very appreciated. He sent before and after photos to me because I could not be on site to see how it was going. Great experience working with him throughout the process. Highly recommended!"

"My house has never been cleaner, she cleaned places I would have never thought about. She did my vaulted ceilings and lights to go with it, and it turned out amazing along with every other room in my house! She cleaned phenomenally and cannot wait for the next cleaning!"

"Very well!! Bob was very pleasant to work with. He was very conscientious about correct colors and quality of the materials we requested. Did excellent prep, caulking and priming. Great trim work. Was able to work with us on scheduling.  I would certainly use him again and happily give him a high recommendation to others.

"I was very impressed with the gentleman that worked at my house! Just bought a new house and knew I needed the professional help to get things done. I had my roof and siding done and it turned out amazing, and done in a timely manner. They left my place cleaner than when they came. I had the whole interior repainted and you wouldn’t believe the results!! 10/10 I’m calling Isiah every time!!! See you soon when we do my fence!"

"This family company had done a great job cleaning the snow from our corner-yard duplex. You can call them in advance if you have to get out early for something. I think they will work very well for a retired couple like me and my husband."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.

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. 

Staining a deck is typically less expensive upfront than painting. The cost to stain a deck professionally averages around $850, with most homeowners paying between $550 and $1,250, depending on the deck's size. A DIY staining project can cost less than $100. The cost to paint a deck ranges from $500 to $2,000. While the initial cost of staining is lower, it's important to consider long-term expenses. Paint can last up to 10 years, whereas stain needs to be reapplied every few years, which could lead to higher costs over time.

Ideally, it's best to stain your dock once per year. Applying stain doesn't just keep it looking nice and new; it also helps extend the dock’s lifespan. Since you want to ensure water levels are at their lowest, it's best to have this project done by a professional dock repair service in the cooler autumn or early winter months. 

You don't need to seal your deck after painting it because most exterior paints are waterproof and weather-resistant. While stealing is not necessary, it can add an additional layer of protection.
