"These projects were completed in one visit and at the specific time/date they said they would do them. They were professional, timely, and did an excellent job installing a kitchen pantry in an unused space in a 100 plus year old house. We are very happy with the results of all work and the price was considerably lower than other estimates. When they arrived to do the work they had all materials they needed. Estimate one week and work completed the following week."

"Cody is a great, young, hard-working man.  He's willing to do anything and he's honest.  It's nice to come home to see a well kept yard after a long week.   <br /> I hope that Cody can get to the other projects we've discussed - right now the rain is falling at such frequent intervals that he's working tons of hours to keep up with that work. <br />"

"Paul was quick to respond to my request. He came out and did an assessment, provided recommendations, and gave me a reasonable estimate. Due to the amount of work he had, he said he would do the job in about a month. Sure enough, a month later he called and said he would be there the next day to start the job. Paul and his son fixed the steps, added the handrail, and power washed the deck. Paul was courteous, hardworking, and easy going. I asked to him to do a couple of other odd jobs while he was there. He was very accommodating and finished those projects too. Paul and his family came back a couple of days later to stain the deck and added the lattice around the deck. It turned out spectacular and I was very pleased with the end result. I highly recommend Paul -- he is courteous, timely, flexible, reasonable, hardworking, and very good at what he does. <br />"

"Called Arteman's on a rainy day in November, he happened to be available so he came right over.  The other company had left our house with no front entry door, because they just replace doors.  Arteman was a hero that day!  He replaced the rotten beam under the threshold.  He also noted that the tiled entry way was incorrectly installed (previous owner's DIYproject) and he removed the tile as it was sitting on water damaged particle board and interfering with the repair of the threshold. <br /> The company we bought our door from finished installing the door. <br /> We called Arteman's again, because there was a gap between where the door had been installed and where the stoop steps were, leaving his repair exposed.  He came over, within a day or two and filled the gap with a some type of sealer.  The area is not leaking and with this crazy winter we're so grateful for his good work. <br />   I do have a minor gripe though, we wanted him to install new tile for us since our landing now was just plywood since he had taken up the old tile.   I went to the store he recommended to get tile, but none of the tile there appealed to me.  I purchased tile at Lowes.  When he saw the tile, he told us that he wouldn't be able to put it in for another three months.  That seemed like a dodge to me. If he didn't want to put it in, I would have appreciated just a simple "no."  But to be fair he had fit us into his schedule in an emergency and I'm grateful.  Anyhow, I couldn't wait, because to paraphrase the Stark's, "Winter was Coming."  I put it in myself, apparently our landing is homeowner DIY territory.  <br /> All in all Arteman's was great to work with.  Showed up when he said he would.  Completed the job in a quick period of time.  Charged appropriately. <br />"

"The service went well. A crew of five came out and completed the job in about 1 week for my in laws house and a little over a week to paint our home. The painters were very thorough and meticulous. They did a great job with their prep work and with the clean up afterwards. They did a great job and even washed our windows afterwards. I had no problem scheduling with the company."

FAQs for deck, fence, patio or porch clean and seal projects in Mount Pulaski, IL

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.
