"I called Nebraska Stain & Seal for a quote and Mike Adams stopped by my house that afternoon to take pictures and measurements while I was out of town. After shopping around awhile, I decided that the price was right and we felt better giving our money to Nebraska Stain & Seal after our interactions with Mike and looking at reviews. Our deck was finished two months ago and it looks great. We plan to contact Mike when we are ready to have our fence stained."

"Very well-friendly and professional. Painted 7 rooms (various sizes), 2 doors and 3 ceilings (one vaulted) some which required repair, and finished ahead of schedule. I was consulted during the job whenever the team had questions. They wanted to ensure that they were completing the job as asked. Two coats were applied which was great."

"Jim and his crew were very responsive to our needs. We were limited in time due to selling. He was able to look, make a real assessment of what was needed and was reasonable with the bid. His crew made time for us within a few days and had the deck in great shape. We were able to continue down the path with our seller. I couldn't ask for better. Someone who is fair, honest, and can fix when you don't want to replace. Awesome!"

"HSP remodeled two guest bathrooms, our kitchen, main bathroom and replaced our deck. We were pleased with the experience and thrilled with the results. The crew was respectful of our home, cleaning up after themselves each day and protecting our walls, banisters, furniture, etc. Communication with HSP was timely, thorough and frequent. We knew each day what tasks were to be performed and by which crew members. Although there weren't many, they handled change requests in stride. Chuck and his team are true professionals. Their attention to detail and "can do" attitude makes them such a pleasure to work with!"

"Jason Wiederin of JW Builders was chosen from a number of bids. This was a big project requiring craftsmanship and coordination of a variety of subcontractors. We were overjoyed and highly satisfied with the completed project. In fact, Jason helped make a complex project a pleasant experience. Among the qualities exhibited by Jason and his company were high customer service orientation, creativity in suggestions, problem solving, his ability to select and coordinate good subcontractors, the quality and craftsmanship of his work, high ethics and trustworthiness, his ability to work within appropriate timeframes, his overall and comprehensive knowledge, his ability to deal with changes or additions requested by customers, his patience, his dependability and ability and awareness to work with budget and plans. Our kitchen area now looks like a showpiece in a magazine. We are appreciative and fortunate to have found someone as good as Jason and JW Builders. We are hoping to use his company for other projects including a Master bathroom, a deck at our son's house and possibly other projects. We highly recommend Jason and JWBuilders."

"Here is the message I sent Brush & Roll, thanking them for their work: We have a fireplace, banister, and stairway handrail that were painted and/or stained improperly by a previous company. The woodwork was stained golden oak originally, then improperly painted white (by another firm) and stained the wrong color. We have had several contractors visit that deferred these items citing that we should contact experts in that field to fix the mess. We had a couple friends recommend your business. In truth, they stated your business wasn’t the cheapest option. However, they were confident in your firm’s abilities and said it was the best value. WORKER came out (name concealed for privacy). This guy was amazing. First, he spent a bunch of time taping-off to protect areas behind the work area. That was a nice change from the original painters that got paint residue over much of our basement. He was respectful of our house, offered to touch-up the previous contractor’s other mess-up, and was even sensitive about us placing our cat in isolation for the day. I wish he also did carpentry, electrical, and oil changes – we’d hire him for everything. In hindsight, we would have saved money by hiring your group in the first place. We’re now wiser for future projects. Hopefully, someone can benefit from our hard-earned knowledge. As a followup, my wife was at work during the work. I texted pictures to her and the level of contentment in our house rose dramatically."

FAQs for deck, fence, patio or porch clean and seal projects in Ames, NE

You should clean your deck before sealing it. Cleaning before refinishing is critical. If you don’t remove dirt and debris, you'll trap moisture in the wood, which prevents the new sealer from working correctly and can lead to costly repairs. Whether you need to sand, power wash, or sandblast depends on your deck's condition.

Sealing and staining your deck are essential maintenance methods that protect and beautify your outdoor space. Stain adds rich color and guards against fading, while sealant fortifies the wood against moisture and weather damage. Wood type, climate, deck age, and the degree of existing damage determine whether your deck benefits from one or both treatments. Using both options extends your deck’s durability and enhances its overall appearance.

Power washing and sealing your deck costs $500 to $1,700. This process combines the removal of stubborn dirt and debris with a protective seal that preserves the wood’s integrity. Effective cleaning eliminates harmful buildup, and a proper seal prevents moisture damage and wood decay, ensuring long-term durability and reducing future repair expenses.

Your deck must be sealed every one to three years to maintain its strength and appearance. Regular sealing is essential to protect the wood against moisture, mold, and harmful UV rays. A consistent sealing schedule prevents rapid deterioration and costly repairs. Inspections should be performed annually to determine if the protective layer remains intact, extending the life of your deck.

Leaving your deck untreated compromises its structural integrity and safety. An unprotected deck rots quickly due to moisture and environmental exposure, which means that neglecting sealing results in rapid decay and expensive replacement costs of $4,125 to $11,650. Sealing your deck is essential for maintaining its durability and protecting your home.

The sealant on your deck dries within a few hours and reaches full cure within 72 hours before regular use. It is essential to wait until the complete curing period to ensure the protective layer fully sets and resists weather and foot traffic. Proper drying guarantees that your deck is fully protected against moisture and environmental damage, ensuring lasting quality.
