Common Projects We Handle
Genuine Customer Feedback
"Sarah exceeded our expectations in staining our deck. Despite the setbacks with weather, she communicated well and was determined to finish the job."
We strictly avoid applying stain over damp wood or in direct midday scorch. Moisture testing and adequate dry windows ensure deep penetration and prevent premature peeling.
Grafton — Frequently Asked Questions
Should I choose a semi-transparent stain or solid paint?
Semi-transparent highlights natural wood grain on newer or well-maintained lumber. Solid coatings are great for older decks with color variations or heavier wear.
How do you handle damp wood?
We check moisture levels and avoid staining over damp wood or in direct midday sun so the coating penetrates and lasts.
