Genuine Customer Feedback

(Google review excerpt)

"Sarah exceeded our expectations in staining our deck. Despite the setbacks with weather, she communicated well and was determined to finish the job."

Preparation & Finish Considerations

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.

LaGrange — 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.

Do you repair loose boards first?

Loose boards, railings, and stairs are assessed at your estimate so any needed repairs are planned before coating.
