About us:
Perfect your craft.
These are the three words that inspired the start of Decks to Halls.
Owner Michael Hall moved to America in 2019 after meeting his Michigan native wife, while both were separately solo-traveling New Zealand in 2017. After marriage, Michael soon started work as an interior painter for a local company in Cedar Rapids. Michael found a love for the trade he was learning and knew he could grow into it.
While at a men’s Bible study one evening Michael heard the words to “Perfect your craft”. That’s where he had the idea to start his own company and truly hone in on his new found skill. During this time, and not long after the Derecho hit the town of Cedar Rapids, he was being approached by many inquiring about his ability to also provide deck staining.
Seeing there was a need and finding that restoring decks was visually and personally rewarding, in 2021 Decks to Halls was born. Michael continued to educate himself in the trade by taking a trip to TN to attend Staining University where he learned from the top professionals in the trade so he could provide the best service and quality work he could. He continues to attend yearly and maintains many close relationships within this professional network ensuring he is exposed to all the newest techniques, professional advice, and best practices offered in the industry.
In 2022, Decks to Halls set a goal to hit 25 five-star reviews on Google—and we were blown away when we passed it. Word started to spread, and we became known around Cedar Rapids and nearby towns for quality work and excellent service.
In 2025, we’re proud to be on track to surpass 100 five-star Google reviews. We’ve transformed over 300 decks with a 100% customer satisfaction rate. Beyond the work itself, we’ve been honored to offer many young men their first jobs—training them in the trade and mentoring them with valuable life skills along the way.
Decks to Halls desires to continue to transform your indoor and outdoor spaces into places you love to spend your time in, and strives to leave our patrons saying, “Wow!”, with a huge smile on their face.
