Aslan did an outstanding job bringing our deck back to life. The transformation speaks for itself—what was previously worn and peeling now looks fresh, vibrant, and professionally finished. The attention to detail is evident in the even coating, clean edges, and the way every surface, including the railings, was handled with care. Beyond the quality of work, Aslan was reliable, efficient, and took pride in doing the job right. The prep work, which often gets overlooked, was clearly done thoroughly and made all the difference in the final result. If you’re looking for someone who combines craftsmanship with professionalism, I’d highly recommend Aslan. This is the kind of work that not only improves the look of your home more importantly also gives confidence it will last.

Aslan painted our deck and I can't recommend him enough. He's a great person and worked incredibly hard from start to finish. This is an investment that I saved to afford for months and I felt confident he would take care of my home for me and my family. What stood out most was how he handled things when we didn't see eye to eye on the final result. Instead of getting defensive, he listened, took care of it, and made sure I was truly happy before calling the job done. That kind of integrity is hard to find. We're already planning to hire him again to paint the house. If you're looking for someone who takes real pride in his work and cares about his customers, give him a call.
We had a wonderful experience working with Aslan at Zele Exterior Painting. He is one of the hardest-working contractors we’ve ever hired. At one point, he worked a 12-hour day just to make sure our deck was completed on schedule. His attention to detail, fair pricing, and commitment to doing the job right really stood out. Beyond that, he’s simply a kind, honest person who genuinely cares about his customers. We are very happy with the finished result and would definitely hire him again. Highly recommend!
It was an overwhelmingly positive experience working with Zele Exterior Painting | Deck & Fence. Zele provided transparent pricing that included deck repair, painting, staining and all materials in the total price - no surprises! The only surprise was the extent was the water damage/rot that was discovered during the restoration. Zele completed the spot repairs which did not delay the project. I really appreciated the responsiveness, quality of the work, professionalism, punctuality and providing guidance on the right stain/colors for the project. I would highly recommend to anyway searching for an honest contractor.
Questions
Deck staining questions
How much does deck staining cost?
Most deck projects run from $1,000 to $7,000 and up. Every deck is priced individually: it depends on the condition of the wood, the size and scope of the work, and the look and result you want. We see the deck in person and give you the price on site, within about 15 minutes.
How often should a deck be stained in Washington?
Usually every 2–3 years for horizontal boards; railings last longer. Rain and sun exposure make the biggest difference.
Can you fix rotten boards?
Yes. We replace or repair bad boards before staining, and price it in the estimate so there are no surprises.
When can decks be stained?
When the wood is dry and the forecast is clear — mostly late spring through early fall.
