Deck Stain vs. Deck Paint…
What is the Difference?

With deck staining we consider that selecting the right stain products for residential deck jobs requires “background” work before the job is started.

For example, what kind of finish are you really looking for?

Correctly applied, stain finishes will provide a true, flat finish that enhances the beauty of the wood surface. Semi-transparent stains offer a variety of tints that allow the grain and texture of wood to show through. In contrast, solid-color stains are heavily pigmented. These stains cover the wood grain, but do not cover its texture. Solid-color stains also provide more protection from the sun’s UV rays.

Unlike stains, most house paints are formulated to provide a finish that differs from stain finishes in several ways.

Many house paints labeled as “flat” still give off a low-luster sheen when dry. In addition, paints are manufactured to form a harder, more protective barrier than stains between the wood and the environment. However, paints are more subject to peeling, since moisture can be trapped beneath the surface of the coating.

We can provide samples and pictures stains along with product information from manufacturers that will help demonstrate to you, the customer, some of the major differences in appearance and performance between these products.

We use a roof cleaning equipment designed to remove the algae and black stains from your shingles without causing any damage to your house.

What are the black stains on my roof & can they be safely removed?

The black stains on your roof are simply an algae that feeds on the limestone filler in your shingles. We gently, at low pressure, using the proper cleaners and detergents, remove the black stains.

Stucco Cleaning

We gently remove the black stains and algae from stucco using a method known as soft washing. This simply means that we use approximately the same amount of pressure as a garden hose while investing in the proper chemicals needed to safely remove the black stains and algae without damaging the structure. This method is also used on vinyl and aluminum. The results are a cleaner surface that lasts much longer as we don’t rely on high pressure, but actually kill the mold, algae, and mildew.

Our services are provided by professionally trained technicians and we are equipped to handle all of your exterior cleaning needs.
