"I had Cliff and his team put a fence in my backyard. They did the job when they said they would and they did a great job. Cliff’s communication was very good and he was very pleasant to work with."

"Built to Last Construction was recommended to me by a friend who had them remodel her kitchen. First I hired them to paint a steep stairway to the upstairs, along with the upstairs landing (built their own scaffolding) and install railings. Their work was very professional and I can't belief how good it looks! Next I had them completely remodeled the bathroom in coordination with a plumber and electrician. Tom and his wife Ann went shopping with me for bathroom fixtures but because the bathroom is so small nothing seemed like it was going to work out. Tom actually ended up building a linen cabinet, sink base and medicine cabinet with a lighted mirror to fit. The quality of the wood and workmanship is outstanding! I am also hiring them for other projects. They are always very thorough and kept me informed on all aspects of the projects. I recommended them to a friend who has had a hard time finding someone to update her deck. She will not be disappointed."

"The person hired arrived exactly when he said he would. When he began power washing my driveway he never stopped until he was completely finished. The job was done to perfection. It turned out so well we scheduled him to return to power wash and STAIN our 16 x 30 deck. He was extremely professional and a pleasure to talk to. The price quoted was far the best I had from others I had quotes from...as was the work performed I'm sure."

"I had a small job and Jeff and his son came over the same day and took care of it. I may have a few more jobs and will not hesitate to hire Jeff. I've already recommended him to 2 other people and he just left a couple hours ago. My job was small - relocating inaccessible smoke detector putting a new one in utility room - but it was something that worried me a lot. As an older person finding a reliable handymen is important. Reasonable price too."

"I actually had 2 jobs done and both were done in a timely manner . I had a large deck power washed and 2 coats of paint. Bryan went out of his way to match the color with the pool house . It turned out beautifully. The crew he had with him were extremely polite and hard workers. Then Bryan came Back a few days later and trimmed 3 sets of trees/bushes all by himself and did a wonderful job. He has very high standards for himself and his crew. He's professional, And gets the job(s) done in a timely Manner. I will definitely hire him again. He seems to be a "jack Of all trades" so there are endless Possibilities of what can get done. he's very reasonably priced , and seems to really care bout the quality of work that he does. He communicated what he was doing multiple times throughout the day. You won't be disappointed with the work. Definitely on My list to re-hire!!!!!!!!"

FAQs for deck, fence, patio or porch clean and seal projects in Merrill, MI

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.
