"Aaron, Nathan, and their crew did a very thorough job with power washing our house and fence, caulking, and prep-work. They did a meticulous job painting the house and staining the fence. The team was costumer focused. We had a very positive experience with Priceless Painting Contractors."
"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!"
"Tommy and his crew stained two decks and a gazebo at our home. They were easy to work with, efficient, and thorough. We will gladly hire them again in the future."
"Jerry's Painting team was outstanding and professional. Communication was great, choosing colors was easy. I changed my mind last minute on the stain for our porch. The company worked seamisly to make sure our home was exactly as we envisioned. Careful attention to detail was given. We would recommend this company 5 out of 5 stars."

"We are very pleased with the service we received from Adam/Summit Painters. He re-stained the cedar shakes on 3 roof pitches on our house and also the exterior door entry area. He came out to our house the same day I contacted him, provided an estimate the next day, returned my phone calls immediately when I had additional questions and did the job when he said he would and he cleaned up thoroughly when done. We are VERY happy with the results! The house looks great. We will definitely use in the future for additional projects (which we discussed)."

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.
Liquid rubber is great for waterproofing, but it can damage your deck if it’s not applied correctly. First, it can trap moisture in the wood if the deck isn’t completely dry before application. Second, applying it too thickly can create a heavy, rubbery surface layer that peels and cracks under fluctuating temperatures. For the best results, ensure the wood is completely dry before application, and apply the liquid rubber in thin, even coats. A quick inspection every now and then will help you catch any issues early, keeping your deck protected and looking its best.
Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.
Beyond liquid rubber, homeowners can use sealants, stains, membranes, or tapes as waterproofing options. Oil-based or water-based sealants soak into the wood, creating a moisture-resistant barrier. Waterproofing stains—available in transparent, semi-transparent, and solid colors—add both protection and style to your deck. For heavy-duty waterproofing, deck membranes and waterproof tapes can be applied under the deck boards to direct water away from the structure below. Whatever method you choose, clean and prep the deck first to ensure the best, longest-lasting results.
Always wait until the morning dew has dried before you stain your deck. The stain needs a fully dry surface to sink into.
