WHAT'S INCLUDED
Decks done by hand. Stains that actually last.
A deck stain is only as good as the prep underneath it. Most contractors pressure-wash, let it dry for an hour, and slap a coat on. Six months later it's peeling. We strip the old stain to bare wood, sand the surface flat, replace any failed boards or hardware, then brush — not spray — two coats of a premium penetrating stain into the grain. The result is a deck that sheds water, takes foot traffic, and still looks rich in color two summers from now.

FROM OUR NEIGHBORS
Word travels around here.
Stripped my deck back to bare wood and stained it by hand. Two coats. It was a real project — probably 4 days of work — and they didn't cut a single corner.
