Cobra takes great pride in providing top notch customer service, friendly technicians, and an expert knowledge base to help tailor your specific project or issues with tried-and-true methods.

"Chris Miller and his company destroyed my new patio! The sealer the morons used was an incorrect sealer - which only trapped water/moisture between my paver stones and the sealer, They look wet - don't they?...but they're not! It took literally close to 2 weeks to completely dry out or evaporate, if it didn't rain. But after a fresh rain - back to what you see in the photos. My patio looked diseased! (see attached photos). Many months went by going back and forth with no one showing for scheduled appointments. When they finally did show - what was their answer? ...to add more of the incorrect sealer -- twice more! So now, the morons tried to use a paint stripper, to get off the three thick layers of the incorrect sealer. Power washing that off, damaged my home's vinyl siding and firepit cover -- when the bits of stripper that flew off -- landed on my siding and firepit cover -- leaving permanent marks on my siding and multiple chip marks on my firepit cover, where it ate away the paint. The morons were negligent and incompetent in not covering part of my siding in the area being worked on, with simple plastic sheeting, or for my firepit cover, with a tarp. You never speak to the same people at the office more than twice - and different workers show up every time....when they do show. This all due to a very high employee turnover rate, with these workers having little to no experience. The owner, Chris Miller, is another incompetent boob, not caring at all regarding fixing the problems, or the customer's needs. He's all about the money -- just wants to get paid for a failed job! I honestly don't know how this company stays in business. They have yet to fix these issues with my siding or firepit cover, many months later, both which need to be replaced. I had to hire another company to fix my patio paver problem, which THEY DID, the first time. Do yourself a favor, and save yourself a lot of headaches -- hire someone else for your outdoor projects! See you in court."

"DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. I had asked them to power wash and stain my deck. I wanted a semi-transparent stain. Tyson told me they recommend full cover. I don’t like full cover. I gave him a gallon of the stain I wanted to use, which was from Home Depot. I even told him to go to Home Depot and use my telephone number to bring up the stain I had purchased. 1. He got stain from Sherwin Williams and it was full cover and was not redwood. It is brown. 2. They got stain on the house siding, and the metal balusters. 3. The stain was applied unevenly. When I told Tyson all this and included pictures, he responded with wow. I also told him it was the wrong stain and he didn’t say anything. I had to have them come back several times, because they did not do all the touchup (it was too late for dealing with the wrong stain). When they tried to remove the stain from the side of the house they made a worse stain. Tyson did get a good match and painted over where the stain was on the side of the house. However, there was still touching up to be done. They also got stain on my flagstone walkway and all over the pool equipment piping. They did not put things back onto the deck. When I told him, he came and started putting the things in the yard back. I told Tyson I was not going to pay him $1,000. He said he would come down to $850. I told him I would offer him $500.00. He accepted. However, he walked off the job without doing the remaining touchups, or putting everything back onto the deck. I did not see this until I got back to the house and after I had paid him. I immediately filed a claim with PayPal to get $250 back from the $500. I have to live with the wrong stain and color until I can figure out how to remove it and start over."

"JM Decks and Fences did an INCREDIBLE job with our deck! The pictures speak for themselves, but I'd like to emphasize the quality and careful craftsmanship that is especially appreciated when you see it up close–everyone that sees it comments on how well-done and beautiful it looks! The job was not easy - they completed it in the winter time when the ground was frozen and there was even a snow day. Nevertheless, the JM Decks team was quick, attentive to detail, respectful, communicative, and kept the workspace clean and organized. They completed the job quickly (despite the snow!) and immediately hauled away the old deck parts. They checked in with us several times to make sure we were happy with the progress. Everything was done to code and the quality of their work was outstanding. I would not think twice before hiring them again and have already recommended them to several friends and neighbors. Thank you, JM Decks!"

FAQs for deck, fence, patio or porch clean and seal projects in Clayton, NC

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.
