Had wrap around porch and rear deck stained. Rear deck was a color change. They recommend Sherwin Williams Super Deck Elastomeric stain. The porch they used same Cabot Stain as has been on the deck for years. The porch came out very good. A few minor things I will touch up and looks like they may have gotten a little stain on my siding. The rear deck is just so so. The pickets they sprayed with regular Super Deck stain and the coverage is inconsistent in areas. The Elastomeric stuff I am not impressed with. They had to do a second coat because it does such a poor job of covering. Stupid me did not do my research and this stuff gets very mixed reviews. I will have to find time to rework some of the pickets. I have never been a fan of spraying because you get too thin of a coating. Next time I will pay extra to have everything brushed and rolled.

I have updated my rating because after 2 attempts to get them to resolve some touch ups I gave up and started to do some of the work myself. As I touched up some I found masking tape still under my porch and the railing prep was probably poor as several corners have chipped and peeled and other areas need some work. Such a shame as I liked their work before and even this job was mostly done very well.
