"I recently hired B.I.C. for deck repair, staining, and to clean the siding of our home. The results exceeded my expectations. The owner, was professional, punctual, and paid close attention to every detail from start to finish. He repaired a rotted post and a weak board under a step, and made the entire deck look beautiful again. The staining work was outstanding. The finish was high quality, and he took the time to properly prep and clean everything before starting. His communication was excellent throughout the project. The deck now looks beautiful, feels safer, and has completely transformed our outdoor space. I highly recommend B.I.C. to anyone looking for reliable, skilled, and professional deck repair and staining services. I will certainly hirer this company for future painting projects."

"For our primary project, Fred cleaned, stained, and sealed our covered deck and wooden swingset. He was very thorough. He also helped with a smaller project of securing the molding around a sliding door to our patio and painting that exterior concrete wall. We were very pleased with his work and will likely use him for future projects."

"I did receive a couple bids from Home Advisors network and decided on Midwest due to the owner (Joe) stating that all my needs would be addressed which was to power wash all concrete and paver surfaces including retaining walls. He guaranteed that his price included all that I asked for with "no surprises" and I have that via email. I also was seeking a company that would be able to seal my pavers upon completion. Joe was confident that he could do all the work. What I discovered is that he had not come over to physically look at the job and relied on satellite technology which evidently did not thoroughly show all retaining walls and surfaces and how dirty they were. Hence, there was a little more work involved than what was expected which definitely did not fall on my shoulders as to if he surveyed the area by walking it before bidding. Joe's partner, Steve, did all the work and spent an entire day cleaning my very dirty concrete and paver surfaces. He put the work in but there were areas that were not situated where the dirt could drain somewhere beyond the concrete and pavers, so he just left it set on the pavers. I also didn't like that I could see exactly where he had power washed by the "water pressure strokes" on the surfaces which meant that if I could see the strokes, that implied that between the strokes dirt had been left. Those spots I had pointed out to Steve on the initial day but he said that the rain would fix them. I was also amazed that a power washing company would not have brooms to push dirty water to a drain or a hose to hose off fences, posts or whatever that had been badly soiled with the power washing. Even with all these issues that I believe a professional service would do better, the job definitely cleaned my surfaces and it looks a whole lot better; just not as good as I was hoping since this is a professional service. They did not use any cleansers on areas that had spots nor sand to fill in areas that the power wash efforts pulled up between the pavers. I contacted Joe to do some "redo" on a few spots that needed to be redone before he could apply sealant and two weeks later they were able to return and fix those issues. At that time I got to experience Joe's true business sense. He was so busy validating his work and not even giving me five minutes to share with him my perspective, and he came in the yard very defensive even though we hadn't ever met. He immediately told me that he would not be able to do the sealing job and that I would have to find someone else. He didn't say why but it was obvious that he was defensive and already negative on me and my expectations although they were valid and he did see them and took care of them. I took pictures and I wish that I could attach them here so that others could see what they thought was the finished work PRIOR TO the rework and why they needed to be addressed. The finish work does look great but Joe's approach to try to belittle or diminish others is not professional nor appreciated when it comes to customer support. When they were finished he didn't thank me for the business nor say that they believe they are good to go. I would not recommend this company more so because of the owner's attitude. They sound good but don't ask them to fix something because then they get unpleasant and just tell you that they gave you a good deal and they think the work is great.... nothing to do with how the customer feels or believes. Also they will cancel a phase of the work (such as my sealing) without hesitating or providing you with an explanation. Looking back on other reviews, I realize now that many of them are for cleaning gutters/downspouts and not power washing concrete/pavers and retaining walls or large projects such as what I had."

"JNM Home Improvement does excellent work. When I called, I had a quick call back & meeting set up with owner Jesse Delarosa. We had a rather elaborate but sagging & rotting deck that needed reinforcement and in some places reconstruction. We didn’t want to go through the expense of replacing the entire deck. Jesse visited the house, described a plan that would rebuild the deck to safety code. He had the plan in writing to us that evening and got the job done in a little less than a week. Jesse and his crew are highly professional, polite, communicative and no surprises at the end of the project. I would highly recommend JNM Home Improvement for any project at home or at my business.

"Got the old gutters torn down and replaced with new ones same day. Also got some new vinyl siding and facia metal installed the following day. I was very satisfied with the job and quality of work done to the house. I recommend ZLK for gutter needs and will definitely call them again in the future for my next home exterior projects."

FAQs for deck, fence, patio or porch clean and seal projects in University City, MO

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.
