OUR PROCESS

STEP 1

Lake Erie Deep Clean.

First, we blast away surface gunk with our power washer! Then, we apply a special wood brightener that soaks deep into the deck boards, lifting out dirt and restoring that natural beauty.

STEP 2

Reinforcing for four seasons of backyard fun.

Cleveland weather can be hard on deck structures, from hot summers to snowy winters. We’ll inspect and swap out any worn-out or corroded hardware with weather-tough screws, nails, and fixtures to keep your deck going strong for years.

STEP 3

Prepping for a flawless finish.

A smooth surface is key so the stain looks its best. We start by sanding away any splinters or rough spots with coarse grit paper, then refine it to silky smoothness with ultra-fine grit – perfect for the stain to grab onto.

STEP 4

Stain your deck by hand

Our skilled painters use top-shelf brushes to work the oil-based stain deep into the wood grains for rich, long-lasting color and protection. We pick stains made to handle Northeast Ohio weather.

STEP 5

Protecting your freshly stained investment from rain, sun…or snow

Once the staining is done, we put up weather-resistant screens and breathable covers while the finish cures. This prevents debris, moisture, and direct sun from messing up that smooth surface.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why’s staining so important for decks in Northeast Ohio?

Why stain decks around here? Northeast Ohio weather can be rough on outdoor wood – frigid winters, hot, humid summers, and spring downpours. Without protection, you’ll get a cracking, warping, fading deck. Staining keeps things looking sharp while safeguarding that beauty and integrity. Consider it a wise investment.

How often should I get my deck re-stained?

To keep it looking fresh and prevent costly repairs down the road, we recommend reapplying the stain every 1-3 years, depending on use and exposure. We use the most durable stains formulated specifically for our climate to maximize that protection.

What kind of stain works best on Cleveland decks?

We use only premium quality stains designed for the unique challenges of Northeast Ohio weather. They deeply penetrate the wood with rich color plus superior UV, water, and mold/mildew resistance. We’ll help you select the perfect product for your deck and personal style.

Can you fix any issues with my deck before staining?

Absolutely! We thoroughly inspect each deck beforehand and can reinforce any weak spots with metal bracing, wood fillers, or custom-mixed epoxy as needed. That way, your deck will be structurally sound for years of entertaining.

How long will staining my deck take?

We typically schedule 5-7 business days for the full prep-to-finish process. That allows enough time to properly clean, make necessary repairs, apply multiple coats of stain, and let each coat fully dry. The result is a flawless, long-lasting finish that’ll have your deck looking better than ever!

Great service! Rick and Bryan was a huge reassurance that I made the right decision. With all kinds of decisions and things to keep in mind, they help streamlined the service to make it easy. They walked through the process, made note of the little nuances we had and their team was able to finish the project flawlessly. They even did a double back to make sure the quality was top notch. Service was so great I had them do a quick estimate on my restrooms since i was so impressed. You guys rock and I appreciate your team and business! Thank you!

Even though I had given them the wrong paint name they were quick to come out and reroll the walls that were wrong color to ensure they matched perfectly. They were prompt thru entire process and cleaned up after themselves and even touched up a couple places that I had previously painted and needed touching up without my asking. Great experience from beginning to end.
