Hi my name is Matt I am the owner of Northern lakes painting & finishing LLC I have been painting for 11 years. Decided to go on my own last year I specialize in interior/exterior/cabinets/pre-finished work/decks & power washing! I take pride in my work! Very detailed on any project I do! Would love to transform any project you have for me!

"Matt and his team did an exceptional job with our challenging interior paint job—the tongue and groove paneling (walls and ceiling) of our cabin's master bedroom, including a vaulted ceiling. We also asked them to apply a java gel stain to a high ceiling beam and the pitched ceiling of our master bathroom. We couldn't have been happier with the results. Absolute perfection. Matt is professional, timely, and a great communicator. We really appreciated the photos he sent when the project was finished. He had competitive pricing, also. We are so glad we invested in hiring this project out--in the past we've done nearly all interior paint jobs ourselves, but it would have taken us so much time, scaffolding rental, and we wouldn't have done nearly as good a job. We very highly recommend Northern Lakes Painting & Finishing!"

"That was the worse service we ever got in years. The quality of partially done work is absolutely awful (anyone can come and see for yourself). The garage floor ended up bumpy (uneven), rough (like course sand paper) and blemished. The job was quite quite messy all around including screwing up our driveway with painting material. There was a promise to redo (fix) all that work, cleaning up the driveway..., but State Performance Inc. just disappeared (stopped to respond). Be aware!"

FAQs for deck staining or painting projects in Brainerd, MN

Staining a standard 500-square-foot deck takes about 20 hours, including preparation and application. This timeline ensures a thorough job that enhances your deck's appearance and durability. The process will take longer if you include additional treatments like sealing or stripping. Weather conditions, drying time, and deck design will also impact the timeline.

You should stain your deck every two to three years to preserve its appearance and protect it from moisture, insects, and aging. Regular maintenance helps extend your deck’s lifespan and prevents costly repairs. In colder regions, staining in late spring–as soon as dry, warm conditions appear–ensures proper absorption and a long-lasting finish.

Staining your deck is a worthwhile investment. Staining protects the wood from mold, insect damage, and environmental deterioration. It preserves the deck's structural integrity while enhancing its natural beauty, adding charm and increasing property value. Restaining also reduces future repair costs, extending the deck’s lifespan for years of outdoor enjoyment.

The average cost to paint a deck is between $500 and $2,000. Hiring a professional deck stainer ensures an even, long-lasting finish, as they apply a protective layer that enhances durability and refreshes your deck’s appearance. The final cost depends on your deck size, paint quality, and labor rates.

You should always pressure wash your deck before staining to remove built-up dirt, dust, and other debris. Having a clean surface allows the stain to adhere properly, ensuring an even, long-lasting finish. Before staining, ensure the wood is completely dry to prevent moisture-related issues, which takes 24 and 48 hours.
