We do not mix our own stain – There are a couple of reasons why we don’t do that: Getting the right combination of trans-oxide pigments, oils, mildewcides  in a stain is something we will leave to professional multi-national companies with multi million dollar laboratories, paint, and stain chemists at their disposal as well as durability testing environments. We are not going to mix our own stain that will under-perform to save a few dollars. Mixing our own stain would lock our customers in – I’ll elaborate- If we were to mix our own stain the customer would have no idea regarding the product name, number, color we use to stain, seal their deck or fence. That customer is less likely to use another company down the road-  as they have no idea what product is on their deck or fence. If the customer ever goes with another company the deck will have to be stripped as no one has a record of what was used before. We will never lock our customers in , or make it difficult for them to know what product, and color is used on their decks, fences. We use nationally, if not world-wide renowned deck & fence stains, sealers, paints – brands such as  TWP, Cabot, Woodrich Brand, Penofin, Messmer’s, Rymar, Baker’s Grey Away, Defy just to name a few. Again, we will leave mixing of  stains to those who put profits over providing a long-lasting job.
