"I have to say this company has out done themselves. I understand that these projects are costly but they donâ t rip you off and their pricing is very fair. They are honest, the work is amazing, they were flexible with my work schedule, they showed up early and worked in the rain too. My family and I are super happy with our deck!! I will continue to use their services for all of our home projects!!"

"When I called them, Pete came within an hour, checked out what is exactly leaking, gave cost estimate. It was quite reasonable so I approved it. He said he will be back with new disposer and other required parts and fix it. He came exactly as per commitment and fixed it. Now there is no leakage for last couple days and extremely satisfied with the service and cost."

"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 />"

"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 />"

"We had a few snafus for which I have to take some of the responsibility. We tried to have them finish floors while on a trip abroad when I was going to be out of email contact. Not wise. This slowed us down because they couldn't get questions answered when a stain became unavailable while we were away. So it took a little longer than planned overall. But VERY easy to work with and dedicated to what they do. <br />"

FAQs for deck, fence, patio or porch clean and seal projects in Decatur, 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.
