"When staining your fence, many people assume it’s an easy process you can’t mess up. The truth is, it’s actually an easy process TO mess up. When you stain a fence, or even a deck or pergola, it’s not just as simple as slapping some stain on the wood and moving on. There is an entire process that needs to be followed or else you could end up with an unattractive stain job. Though even if all the steps are followed to a T, there are still some common mistakes that can be made."

"Privacy fencing is a great investment for any home, and it’s one that is definitely worth protecting however you can. These wooden fences do so much for you and your family; they provide shade to your yard, protect your children and pets from strangers or running into the street, provide seclusion and privacy from nosey neighbors, etc. So why not do everything you can to ensure your privacy fence lasts a lifetime?

Staining and sealing your fence is a great way to guarantee a long and beautiful life for your fence. Staining should occur soon after the initial installation, as well as every 2 to 3 years or so. This will help your fence last so much longer. An unstained and unsealed fence might only have a lifetime of 5 to 7 years, but with stain and sealer routinely applied when needed, your fence could last up to 15 years!

But what are some actual reasons why staining your fence is even beneficial?"

"Exterior cleaning is one of the biggest hassles of owning a home. It’s often the main thing homeowners forget to do regularly, and when they do remember, it’s not always easy to accomplish. When spring cleaning time rolled around, you likely weren’t thinking about the state of your home on the outside, and now that summer is nearing its end, you might be noticing all of the dirt and grime on and around your home after the endless hours spent outdoors.

So, now you know you need to clean your home’s exterior, but where should you even start?"

"Pressure washing seems pretty straightforward to most. You simply hook the machine up to water and get to work. In some cases, this is true, it doesn’t matter much what the psi and nozzle tip degree is for durable materials like concrete. For softer materials like your wooden fence or deck, or anything with paint or stain on it that can be damaged with a high strength of water pressure, you’ll want to be much more careful."

"While concrete is a very sturdy material, often times the earth can shift underneath it in a way we might not even notice. This shifting can cause the concrete to crack and sink in some places. This isn’t the only culprit to uneven sidewalks, driveways, or patios. Occasionally you might buy a home where the original concrete was built to be at different levels. Depending on the location and visibility of these drops in concrete, it can be a major hazard for some.

Uneven concrete is not ideal. You can have the entire driveway, patio, sidewalk, or other feature replaced for an expensive price tag, OR you can have your concrete lifted."

"Cleaning the outside of your home or other outdoor structures is a bit more difficult than cleaning inside. To clean outdoor, it takes a bit more power to eliminate dirt and grime than some simple scrubbing can manage. Power washing, also known as pressure washing, is the perfect solution to stuck on dirt, mold, or algae that might be covering your home’s siding, patio, deck, or fencing.

Power washing is a great solution to the problem, and while just about anyone should be able to get their hands on a pressure washer, that doesn’t necessarily mean you should do the work yourself. Pressure washing is a fine art, and if you do it wrong you can actually cause damage to your belongings. If you’ve never used a pressure washer before, we highly recommend hiring us to do it for you instead!"
