# SEAL A DECK

**Trade:** House Painting · **Address:** 1005 Boylston St #351, Newton, MA 02461, USA · **Phone:** (877) 732-5233 · **Website:** https://www.sealadeck.com/ · **Languages:** English

**Rating: 4.1/5** (high confidence) — from 27 reviews across 5 sources. A 0–5 star rating built from what customers and the public say (every review and mention weighted by where it was posted, how old, how detailed and how credible it is, shrunk toward a 3.5★ baseline when evidence is thin) plus what the record shows (Reddit recommendations or warnings, a registry-verified licence, how recently they were reviewed, customer work photos, BBB grade, negative news, a revoked licence). Positive record counts only as far as the reviews have earned it; penalties count in full. Confidence describes how much weighted evidence stands behind the number, never the number itself: low when fewer than about five normal reviews' worth of weight (or mentions only) support it, medium up to about twenty, high beyond that across at least two sources. An operator flag for a suspicious review pattern caps a rating at 3.5★ and marks it low.
100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 10 reviews, 0 negative.

## The honest read

Despite showing up here under house painting, this Newton-based company does one specific thing and does it very often: decks. Founded and led by Michael Kaloutas, Seal A Deck's own site describes itself as specializing in deck sealing, staining, repair and restoration, plus fence restoration and teak furniture refinishing, serving Boston, MetroWest, the North and South Shores and beyond. One reviewer, after comparing three companies, called it the only one they found that "only maintained and installed decks, period" — everyone else treated deck work as one line among many.

The written record runs from 2022 through today across five sources, with 10 reviews in the last six months and none negative. Specific jobs described include a 30-plus-year-old fir deck refinished after the owner assessed it from photos and satellite measurements rather than an in-person visit; a mahogany deck neglected for five years that the homeowner assumed would need costly wood replacement but instead just got cleaned, sanded and resealed; a pool deck "worse for wear" brought back without a full rebuild; and a homeowner who'd tried and failed at DIY power washing, sanding and staining before calling them in for a porch floor, teak patio furniture, and a cedar outdoor shower.

The picture isn't perfectly uniform across platforms, though: Google shows a 5.0-star average from 47 ratings, but Angi lists the same company at 3.5 stars across 49 ratings, and no Angi written reviews explaining that gap turned up in the record here — worth checking Angi directly if that split concerns you. Separately, the BBB's listing gives a Salem, MA address while the company's own site and its Google listing point to Newton; likely just a mailing-address quirk, but worth confirming the current location before booking.

Seal A Deck is a strong call specifically for deck, fence, or outdoor wood-furniture work — sealing, staining, repair, restoration — rather than general house painting, especially for a deck in rough enough shape that a full rebuild feels like the only option.

**Strengths:**
- Deck-only specialist — not a side offering for a general painter
- Rescues neglected decks — avoids full rebuilds others assumed necessary
- Also refinishes teak furniture and restores fences
- Repeat customers — several return yearly for maintenance

**Where sources disagree:**
- Angi's aggregate (3.5★ from 49 ratings) is notably lower than Google's (5.0★ from 47 ratings), with no negative Angi reviews visible to explain the gap
- BBB's listing shows a Salem, MA address while the company's own site and Google listing show Newton, MA
