On this episode of the Wood Care Podcast, Caleb sits down with Jeff Konopack of Deck Medic to talk about building a scalable deck care business.
Jeff began his career in exterior painting before transitioning into specialized deck restoration, where he quickly realized the importance of creating systems, processes, and data-driven decision-making to grow the business.
Over time, those systems helped transform the operation into a franchise model, allowing proven methods and processes to be shared with other operators.
In this episode, we discuss:
• Transitioning from general exterior painting to deck restoration
• Creating repeatable business systems and quoting processes
• Employee retention strategies in a seasonal industry
• Commission-based team leadership and accountability
• Building long-term customer relationships through maintenance services
Jeff also shares why communication is the most important skill for contractors—whether it’s managing customer expectations or building trust with employees.
For Jeff, the goal isn’t just landing a single job, but building long-term clients who return for maintenance every few years.
He also encourages contractors to focus on building brand equity through five-star reviews, continuous education, and networking within the industry.

We’re kicking off the end of the year with two big announcements for wood care contractors.
- Stain & Seal University is back — March 4–5. This year is the biggest one we’ve ever done. We’ve outgrown our past venues, and we’re taking it to the next level with a true expo-style event: vendors, exhibitors, demos, and hands-on training classes covering fence install, fence staining, deck staining, wood restoration, and a strong focus on pre-staining. If you want to get your team trained up and start the 2026 season with momentum, this is the event.
- Contractor Interview Series is here. This winter, I’m sitting down with 100 contractors to talk through the real lessons from the 2025 season—wins, losses, what changed, what worked, and what didn’t—so we can compile the data and share it with the industry. No scripts, no fluff—just real conversations with people in the field.

Mill glaze has long been a debated topic in the wood care industry. In this episode of the Stain & Seal Experts Podcast, we explore what mill glaze is, whether it actually exists, and how it impacts stain and sealer performance. Drawing on research from the U.S. Forest Products Laboratory and practical industry insights, we’ll guide you through the best practices for overcoming challenges attributed to mill glaze. Learn how to prepare wood surfaces, ensure optimal stain penetration, and deliver professional-grade results every time.
Research Highlights
U.S. Forest Products Laboratory:
- Their studies suggest that mill glaze is less about heat-sealed resins and more about surface texture and preparation. Simply put, sanding and proper cleaning are more critical than combating a mythical glaze. (Source)

A One-Page Strategic Plan, as outlined in the book "Scaling Up" by Verne Harnish, is a concise document that serves as a powerful tool for businesses looking to clarify their objectives, align their teams, and accelerate growth. This one-page document captures the essence of a company's strategic plan and provides a clear, at-a-glance view of its key priorities. Here are the key components of a One-Page Strategic Plan:
-
Core Values: This section outlines the fundamental principles and values that guide the company's culture and decision-making. Core values define the organization's identity and shape its behavior.
-
Purpose: The purpose statement articulates the company's reason for existence, it’s "why." It goes beyond profit and describes the positive impact the organization seeks to make in the world.
-
Core Competencies: This section highlights the key capabilities and strengths that set the company apart from competitors. These are the areas where the company excels.
-
BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal): The BHAG is a long-term, visionary goal that inspires and motivates the team. It's a challenging, yet achievable target that focuses on the future.
-
Brand Promise: This is a succinct statement that describes the unique value the company offers to its customers. It's a promise the company consistently delivers on.
-
Profit per X: This metric defines the specific driver of profitability. It could be profit per customer, per location, per unit, or any other relevant measure that aligns with the company's financial objectives.
-
Critical Numbers: These are a few key metrics that directly impact the achievement of the company's goals. Critical Numbers keep everyone focused on what matters most.
-
3-5 Year Targets: This section outlines the high-level, quantifiable targets the company aims to achieve over the next 3-5 years. It includes financial, customer, and employee goals.
-
One-Year Plan: The one-year plan breaks down the longer-term targets into actionable steps for the next 12 months. It includes specific initiatives, responsibilities, and deadlines.
-
Quarterly Priorities: These are the top priorities for the current quarter that will drive progress toward the one-year plan. They are specific, measurable, and time-bound.
-
Individual Priorities: Each team member identifies their individual priorities for the quarter. These are the most important tasks that align with the quarterly priorities.
-
Meeting Rhythm: This section outlines the regular meetings and communication processes the company follows to keep everyone aligned and accountable.
The One-Page Strategic Plan is a dynamic tool that evolves as the business grows and adapts to changing circumstances. It serves as a compass, ensuring that everyone in the organization is heading in the same direction and working towards the same goals.

Caleb and John interview Tom Reber from the Contractor Fight. Tom helps contractors move in the right direction with their business. Tom says his goal is to bring respect and dignity back to the trade utilizing podcasts, YouTube, Facebook, and other tools to motivate and coach contractors that want to take their business to the next level. Tom’s programs and process works because he has been a contractor and dealt with the issues that normal people go through in this business.
The number one problem Tom sees when consulting with contractors is that his clients don’t realize that they are the ones in control. You have to believe that you are in control of every aspect of your business. Who you employ, who you work for, how much you charge… it’s all up to you.
Tom says the first step is to “Own Your Stuff” ...what is the underlying issue that is causing your business to not reach its full potential. He says that once you figure out what is holding you back, you just deal with it.
Tom says that business owners need oxygen for their business. He uses this analogy saying that oxygen is money. The number one job in your business is to make money. If you can’t commit to yourself to make money by owning your business, then it is possible you should consider going to work for someone else because all good businesses need good employees.
Caleb asks Tom what his advice is for people who are scared or nervous to quit their 9-5 job with benefits, guaranteed hours, etc. and start their own business. Tom says that he makes sure to tell guys that they have to be the marketer and prospector for their business – that the business owner needs to invest back into his business.
Tom goes over what he thinks a great business needs to make it a success. He talks dollars and when it’s time to push harder or explore other options.
Caleb and Tom discuss the importance of associating with people who want to see you and help you achieve and excel in your business goals. They both suggest finding a reputable coaching group that can boost your business’ potential.
Tom says that anyone interested in reaching him should check out his website, thecontractorfight.com and click on one of the four boxes that best applies to you. Follow the prompts that will take you to tons of free information and links or connect you with Tom to help take your business to the next level.

Caleb interviews Jacob Salem, owner of EZ Metrics, and talks with him about social media marketing.
LINKS FROM THE PODCAST AT THE END OF SHOW NOTES
Jacob Salem is the Founder and CEO of EZ Metrics which is a turn-key social media marketing company. They focus on helping small business owners grow their business using social media marketing. Jacob has worked with businesses like the Zig Ziglar Corporation for years, helping them reach their fullest potential out of their social media marketing.
Jacob shares several marketing tips for a few of the social media outlets.
Jacob uses a four cylinder system when consulting and helping businesses grow their social media marketing:
- Social proof - choosing the platform that you want to be present. Pick the platform that the most of potential clients are using. Commit to this platform. Post every day, engaging your audience’s attention.
- Opt-In - This is a place (a link to your website, landing page, etc) that you can exchange your potential client’s name, email and phone number for something of value - a coupon code, a free video, or something that is relatable to your industry.
- Nurture - Automated text messaging, automated email marketing, automated voicemails, even snail mail. This cylinder uses all means of contact to keep your clients and prospects engaged in your business.
- Paid Advertising - Brand awareness, taking your daily content and making sure it gets in front of as many people as possible.
Caleb and Jacob discuss Facebook marketing. He explains the difference between personal pages and business pages. Jacob also covers the difference between paid followers and organic followers and the benefits to both. He goes over when to post links and when not to, how many times to post per day and several other strategies that will bring your business to the top.
Caleb and Jacob talk about the difference and similarities in Facebook and Instagram marketing. Jacob shares several tips about advertising on Instagram and how to effectively market your business if your potential clients are primarily on Instagram.
The most important piece of advice Jacob gives is to commit to being active on the social media. Commit to posting at least once a day. Make your business’ presence known on the social media platforms.
Caleb and Jacob move onto Linked In. Jacob tells listeners to establish your personal Linked In profile no matter what, even if Linked In isn’t where you are predominantly advertising to clients. It creates more web presence for you and your business.
Caleb and Jacob talk about what information is necessary to hire a digital marketing company and when this is a good step for your company. He says the three main points to remember are understanding where your profit and loss is, what can you afford to invest, and how much time are you willing to set aside to do this.

Caleb Roth interviews Wizard of Wood, Everett Abrams
Stain & Seal Experts Fence and Deck Stain and Sealer
ZERO VOC, best on the market
Everett Abrams
Deck Restoration Plus
Started with their own product line and franchising and stopped that to sell to the public.
He earned the nickname 'Wizard of Wood’ from on Online Bulletin Board many years ago
Evert’s best success comes from developing plans with his customers to best suit their needs.
Advice for cleaning and restoring decks-
There are three popular ways to clean the wood using Sodium percarbonate, Oxygenated bleach, and Sodium hypochlorite. These products work great when used properly.
Everett recommends using Sodium metocylic to clean older, more weathered decks because it is more of a lifter or mild stripper than cleaner.
He also recommends Sodium hydroxide, when cut in half or less, also works well to kill and remove mold, mildew and other organic growth.
Caleb asks Evert for his opinion on using household bleach to clean decks and fences. He says that if used properly, it is an affective tool in cleaning and restoring wood.
Caleb then asked Evert about how he deals with fuzz. He said the cause of fuzz is too much cleaning product or the product being left on too long. He also suggested using Osborne brushes to remove the fuzz as an alternative to sanding.
Pressure doesn’t clean or restore. He suggests to use pressure washers for rinsing only, because too much water at a high pressure will do more harm than good.
His best advice is to research and find the best cleaning product for the project at hand.
He uses water based stains that do not leave film on the wood surfaces. He uses this and achieves great results for his customers.
When asked about his business advice for people wanting to step into the world of wood restoration and staining, Everett suggests making sure that you learn all that you can about wood restoration so that you can properly and honestly answer questions from potential customers. He says to make sure that the knowledge and hard work that you put on the initial contact, so that you are always ahead of the competition. He reiterates that learning all that you can about wood will set you apart from any competition. The more knowledge and education you have, the better you will be able to help potential clients.
If you stay inside your four walls, that’s all you’ll ever see.
Everett advises that you set up a maintenance program for customers so that they will protect their initial investment while guaranteeing you repeat business. He also suggests to give time frame windows for everything from estimates to product longevity.
Everett has been featured on the cover of Deck Builder Magazine. He says they reached out to him about pressure washing techniques
Popular Mechanics Magazine.
Caleb and Everett discuss pricing jobs and the different factors that determine the price of projects.
Everett teaches classes on wood restoration. He offers a two day course that covers different wood species, cleaners and cleaning techniques, then different coatings. He also reviews the business side - giving proposals, marketing, and more specific products.
Everett has taught classes for:

Caleb interviews Zach Kenney from ZK Painting in Rhode Island http://zkpainting.com/
Zach has been in the painting and coating industry in some capacity since he was 14. His father started a painting business when Zach was young, Zach painted through college, and he is now focusing on his painting company. His company focuses on coating high end surfaces the right way the first time using Fine Paints of Europe. He uses a maintenance reminder system for his clients so they receive the best quality application after application with successful end results.
In the beginning, Zach knew that he wanted to own a business and not just be self employed. He makes sure his employees strive for quality. He built his portfolio while building his reputation and makes sure that every job is done right.
Caleb asks Zach if he has plans of getting into the manufacturing side of staining and painting. His answer is not at this point. Zach is pleased with the products he uses- Fine Paints of Europe, C2 Guard, and Armstrong Clark. Links to these products can be found at the end of these show notes. He has relationships with the manufacturers and company owners. He is confident in the quality and longevity of each product, and this is what works well for him.
Zach elaborates about C2. He says that using this water based wood preservative leaves an invisible shield on the wood. The most impressive thing is that it can be recovered with water or oil based products, which is unheard of in the staining and coating industry.
Zach says that in his market, he charges 2-3 times more than other companies that offer similar services, but his crews do 2-3 times the work, making sure that no corners are cut and that every job is performed with 100% satisfaction rates.
Caleb and Zach move on to staining and painting processes.
Cedar shake roofs, hard wood decks
Shake shield by Armstrong Clark 100% non drying oils
Zach says that if his clients maintain the upkeep with the products his company uses, that their roofs will last indefinitely because the stains act as the sacrificial lamb and the wood stays in good condition.
In his deck staining processes, he mainly uses stain pads, rollers and the occasional brush.
Caleb asked Zach if he prefers using bleach or bicarbonate for cleaning jobs, and Zach answered bicarbonate.
Caleb and Zach discuss finding and training employees. Zach says most of his leads come from Indeed.com. He suggests hiring for character because someone can learn skills. He says he trains in the shop so that no trial and error occurs on a job site. He makes sure that his employees know that he appreciates them and that he pays well so that his quality of employees meets his clients expectations.
Zach tells people interested in this line of work to research, to ask questions, and to network with other professionals. He also says to never stop learning.
Caleb and Zach speak about social media and the roles it plays in business. He says that Instagram is a staple for his company. He documents his jobs with Instagram. It puts his company in clients' and potential clients’ faces so that they feel like they’re part of the job process. Its a great sales tool, and he uses it to put a face with a name. He uses social media to connect with customers and other professionals and embraces the community of the painting industry.
Zach and a friend/business partner own Off the Ground Incorporated. This company helps other businesses utilize the power of their Instagram accounts. Zach uses Instagram as a powerful marketing tool in his profession. He documents his projects so that his clients and potential clients can really see the transparency of his business. He likes to show day to day progress so clients feel like they are part of the projects.
Zach’s advice for making Instagram a successful tool is this -
Make your main post with a caption. Then, add the hashtags in the first comment. Use all 30 hashtags that you’re allowed. Have your own personal hashtag. Do some broad and some specific tags. Every post should be geo-tagged, meaning “check in” to where you are working or where you want to be working. He also says use the “Story” function. Remember to turn the camera around - allow your followers to see the man/woman behind the business.
Caleb and Zack both agree that utilizing the honesty and transparency of social media as a marketing tool is powerful.

Questions from contractors -
Jamie Hodge @ Costal Premier Stain and Seal costalpremierstainllc.com in Southern Georgia and Florida
Question — How can you tell when you’re bidding jobs when the old stain is oil or water based?
Answer) If its water based, it will peel off or will look glossy. If this is the case, only water based products can be reapplied. Best way to test is the clean the fence. If it is easy to clean, it may absorb an oil based stain.
Question -- How do you control over spray from shadow box fences?
Answer) The best way you control the over spray is to be careful. Spraying is the best option to apply stain. Brushing and rolling will not give you the best results. If you use an airless sprayer, it will limit the overspray. Also, use a very thin sheet of plywood to absorb the overspray.
Question -- Using social media to generate leads…does this work well?
Answer) Social media is one of the best ways to get your company and product in front of potential customers. If you aren’t promoting your business, you’re dooming it to fail. Social media is one of the most popular ways to connect people to what the want/need. You also need a good website with a lead capturing capability.
James Porter with Wood Defender
4)What are some pros and cons of pre stain lumber
A) Pros - zero overspray. Finish always looks great, no run marks. Always consistent. Better for the consumer and contractor.
5) Best way to prep an old deck for staining
A) When wood gets old no matter if it has been stained or not, bleach the deck or use a more gentle per carbonate cleaner then use a brightener. This removes nail marks and bleach marks and leaves the wood looking more natural. After that, use a light pressure washer with soft wash house tips.
John Shelton from Carolina Stain and Seal carolinastainandseal.com Give John a call for all your fences, decks, boat docks, pergola staining needs in the Charleston, SC area
6) When it is time to go full time with your staining career? And how much do you pay your employees?
A) If you have plenty of jobs on the books, have a great profit margin, and if you have a great savings fund for expenses and cost of living then it’s time to go full time. The best time of year will be around May due to weather, depending on what part of the country your business is located.
A) When it comes to pay scales, there are three popular options: by the day, by the job or by the hour. Look at the job market in your area and base the pay off of comparable jobs. Remember, most of the time, the better you pay your employees, the better they will preform their job for you. Make sure that you train your guys well so that they will know how to stain and what your expect on the job site. Training is the one of the most important factors in running a successful stain business.

An interview with Roy Branch and James Porter of Standard Paints Wood Defender Fence and Deck Stain product line in Dallas, Texas.
The guys from Wood Defender were nice enough to fly me down from Nashville Tennessee all the way to their factory in Mansfield, Texas right outside of Dallas to record a podcast, get some great BBQ and an all day Staining Class on Friday. Standard Paints has been in business since 1952 and started the Wood Defender product line in 1995. Standard Paints is involved in many different industries and private labels for many other companies. With a large background in many other industries Standard Paints is able to take all of their technology to the Wood Defender line. Quality is number one for Wood Defender, they make a Transparent and Semi-Transparent Fence and Deck Stains. All Wood Defender products are backed by a manufacturers warranty which is almost unheard of in the commercial grade stain industry. If customers follow the directions on the bucket then you should never have a warranty claim. When the time comes for a re stain you do no have to strip or pressure wash the fence. Wood Defender fence stains are easy to apply, it will not dry on a non porous surface and can be cleaned easily. Concrete surfaces can be kept wet and any overspray can be rinsed off later. Roy recommends an HVLP sprayer system but any application method with work. The three things that are most important is to 1. stir the product thoroughly 2. be sure the wood is dry 3. completely saturate the surface of the wood with stain.
Wood Defender also has a pre stained lumber facility in an undisclosed location in Texas.
Roy recommends to check references on contractors, see if they are investing in marketing their business and to expect a written estimate from reputable staining contractors.
Wood Defender is an oil based deep penetrating stain product so there are no drips, runs or lap marks.
If you have an old gray fence Wood Defender recommends using a Clorox bleach solution to remove mold and mildew and renew the look of the wood before staining. Wood Defender Stains can be applied at any temperature as long as the wood is dry and not frozen.
Wood Defender can be used on all species of wood.
Wood Defender offers a 1 day Fence Staining school on the last Friday of every month January through November.
People come from all over the US and Canada to attend the school. The school is now accredited with American Fence Association.
You can go to Wooddefender.com to find a dealer near you or call 817-477-5060.

Ryan McClain of Ready Seal started out in the staining industry in 1992. He gained years of experience using Ready Seal and other products as a staining contractor until 2008 when he joined the Ready Seal team and worked his way up to National Sales Manager over all other Ready Seal sales Reps.
Ready Seal is a contractor grade oil based stain and sealer in one. Ready Seal Is a universal product that can be used on either fences, decks, cabins, pergolas or any outdoor wood surface.
The features and benefits of Ready Seal, as long as long as the wood is dry Ready Seal can be applied in any temperature, can be applied in the direct sun or in shade. Ready Seal is self leveling, does not run, streak or have lap marks and there is no need to back brush or roll.
Ready Seal is rain safe in about 45 minutes, meaning once the stain is applied rain or moisture will not affect the finished product after 45 minutes of application.
Common mistakes made when starting a staining project.
Surface preparation is key, the ideal moisture content level is 12% or less for best results. Staining wood with a higher moisture content of 15% or greater will not last as long.
Oil Based stains like Ready Seal do not lock moisture inside of wood and will never cause rotting or peeling like water based stains can.
Be sure your wood does not have a mill glaze on the surface, mill glaze will not allow stains to penetrate deep enough.
Shiny, smooth and highly attractive boards usually have mill glaze on them, which can be removed with 100% bleach and a light pressure washing.
Sanding the deck can remove mill glaze but use only 80 grit sand paper or less.
Oxalic acid can be used to clean the deck and remove mill glaze also.
You can apply Ready Seal with a squirt bottle, pump up sprayer, airless sprayer or even a brush or roller.
Any tip size for your sprayer will work just fine, the most common is a 515.
It is best to avoid getting any stain on concrete, cars or other areas. To avoid this you can mask off cars and houses, keep concrete or masonry areas wet and rinse once the job is complete.
Drive Up product or other home made pastes can be used to remove stains from concrete.
Ryan recommends homeowners looking to hire a staining contractor to stain a fence or deck should seek a contractor with great attention to detail, a reputable brand, a great reputation and a one year warranty.
Ryan says getting into the staining business is easy to get into, but you must build a reputable business in order to be successful
You can build your business on referrals with very little advertising, Ryan started his business by passing out flyers in a neighborhood.
You really need to educate your customers with samples, pictures and advice to prepare them for how the job will look once completed.
The biggest misconception about wood stain Ryan believes is that most people expect stain to look like paint. Oil based stains show the beauty of the grain of the wood, some really old ugly fences may actually need a solid stain or paint to look best.
Ready has distribution all of the US and Canada, Ryan says they are a fast growing brand and expects 40%-50% of growth every year in sales.

A brief first episode to introduce myself to the podcasting world. The Stain and Seal Experts Podcast is an informative home improvement talk show geared towards DIYers and contractors alike.
Bringing you How-to's, interviews, expert advice and reviews from industry leaders from all areas of the the stain and seal community. Streaming from Nashville Tennessee I am your host Caleb Roth.
This Podcast is for home owners, DIYers, contractors, concrete stainers, fence and deck stainers, pressure washing companies, painting companies, and anyone in the stain and seal field.
Its time to forget everything you've ever heard about staining and sealing, you've been told the wrong thing over and over again. I have been in the fencing and staining industry since I was a small child and every year I was told something different from lumber reps, manufacturers and colleagues about when to stain your wood, when to seal your concrete, what to use and how to do it and it drove me nuts. So I started a stain and seal company because I enjoyed doing staining projects and I have grown the business to be the largest and most well known stain and seal company in the Southeast the company is Stain & Seal Experts. stainandsealexperts.com
Daily we get questions emailed to us asking how-to advice, what our recommendations are etc... We do not know everything so we started this podcast to share what information we know and call upon other staining contractors, product manufacturers and industry leaders to bring you the latest information and answer all of your questions the best way possible.
The most common question I get asked is "What is the difference between oil based and water based stains?"
I recommend an oil based stain for most projects, but there are some really good uses for water based stains. Oil based stains (at least the good ones) contain penetrating oils that soak deep into the wood and protect the wood from the inside out and allow the wood to breathe but still repel water.
Water based stains form a film or what you might call a protective barrier on the surface of the wood. This coating sheds water and blocks uv rays. However, these stains can peel, blister and come off. Oil based stain simply don't have these problems.
When should I, when is the best time stain my wood?
Usually the answer is right now! We make our decision on the species of the wood, the treatment or lack there of and whether or not the board was kiln dried. Most lumber manufacturers recommend that your outdoor wood project is stained within the first 6 weeks after construction, some recommend as soon as 2-3 days. In our company we rely heavily on a moisture content meter, we use this one from Lowes. https://www.lowes.com/pd/General-Tools-Instruments-Digital-Moisture-Meter/3136919.
We are looking for a moisture content of 18% or less, the sweet spot being 13%. In a pre staining operation boards must be 13% moisture content or less before staining. We can usually achieve this level after 2 weeks of good dry weather.
Please email us your questions. If you are a contractor, product manufacturer or the like and would like to be on the show please reach out to us. Please share this podcast with all of your friends and leave us a 5 star review on itunes.
