"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!"

"Jake was hired by my landlord to paint our entire building, including my restaurant. He did a really good job painting, including realizing there was brick and Foundation damage. He contacted the landlord who contacted the contractor and had another company come out and fix the bricks and Foundation, so he could then finish his painting. He did a very good job and a very thorough job in a quick amount of time so that my restaurant did not have to close down for two many hours or days"

"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!"

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

Adding a second coat of stain to wood can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.

Satin paint is generally considered a better choice for woodwork—including trim, baseboards, cabinets, and doors—than flatter finishes like eggshell or matte. Its soft sheen enhances architectural details and stands up well to frequent cleaning and daily wear. Compared to eggshell and matte finishes, satin is more durable for high-touch areas because it is less porous and doesn't absorb dirt as easily. Matte finishes, in particular, are prone to scuffs and are harder to clean, making them less practical for surfaces like doors and cabinets.

It’s necessary for paint to completely dry before exposure to rain, and that drying time varies by the type of paint used. Oil-based paint takes 6 to 8 hours to dry on average, meaning that’s the minimum time needed between the last brush stroke and the first raindrop. Latex paint dries faster at around 1 hour, and acrylic paint is even quicker, usually drying in about 30 minutes. If rain is in the forecast, check the paint manufacturer's details before laying on a new coat. 

Wood stain is not flammable after it dries. The solvent in wood stain is what causes the liquid form to be highly flammable, but the stain drying process involves the solvents dissolving, which leaves behind a non-flammable product on your wood project. Wood stain is, however, flammable before you apply it, so you should always store partially full cans and used wood stain rags away from sources of heat and open flames.

You should seal your deck every one to two years, but you’ll also need to clean and repair your wood deck throughout the seasons. You may want to hire a local house cleaning service to sweep and clean the deck thoroughly. These cleaning services cost around $50 per hour.

Inspect your deck at least once a year, and if you notice any damage or rot, expect to spend about $10 to $50 for simple DIY fixes or about $2,000 for professional repairs on more extensive damage.
