"We hired Max Brubaker to sand and stain our large deck and front porch. We had other bidders but Max so impressed us with his professionalism, knowledge, and friendliness, we hired him on the spot. Max is thorough, worked hard for long days and regularly checked in to make sure we knew the next step and to answer questions. He welcomed feedback and wanted us to be satisfied. Max is a young man who takes pride in quality work. Our finished deck is gorgeous! Max Brubaker will not disappoint you. Highly recommend"

"Homeadvisor isn't giving me options other than metal roofing(?!), but that's not what I hired them for. They built a new bathroom (wall, toilet and 2 new sinks), renovated my basement, removed an oil tank, replaced some heaved flooring, installed new doors, and repaired some eaves and fascia boards. Everything went smoothly. I'm very happy with the work and enjoyed having them here. "

"Excellent, I have been doing alot of projects before and after the storm and it has been very convient having them close by over the last 2 months I have been in about every other week and sometimes more than once that same week. Each time I am usually just getting one item. I needed to get things like spray paint, sawand quot;zand quot;it all replacement blades, wire mesh, stripes of wire, coasters for furniture, pop (it was hot that day), and more. When a need arises,spary can empty or saw blade gets dull for example, I know that they are a few blocks away and have what I need. It has been very convient having them close by. <br />"

FAQs for deck, fence, patio or porch clean and seal projects in Duluth, MN

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.
