"Wow. I think they peeled the old wall off and stuck a new one on. The new paint job is so smooth and perfect that .... they cheated. They had to. Or they only hire X-men. Something! All the lines are perfectly straight. There is only a minuscule amount of spatter, and not a bit on the dogs. Aside from the walls changing color and the ceiling becoming white again, I can't tell they were here. They also stained and sealed our new oak stairs. Same thing. Near-perfect match to our hardwood floors, clean-clean-clean application, perfect caulking, perfect edges, just perfect. And they showed up promptly at exactly 8 AM every morning. What contracting crew does that? They were a subcontractor to Richard Hannah Construction, which says a lot right there. I'd hire them in a minute myself."

"First contact with this company was with John Martin. He came to our house and noted all work to be done then gave us an estimate. John was very easy to work with and helped with some ideas I was unsure of. He explained the whole timeline of the job. We were able to have the job started quite promptly, the first day Courtney met us at the house and introduced us to Eder Neito our painter. She also checked the paint colours to make sure we were right. Through the whole process John kept checking back via text. Both he and Courtney also came to the house to check on the work. We’re really happy with the outcome and highly recommend Painter Bros. Eder Neito did a fantastic job and was so neat and tidy, not one paint spot spilled any where. The last painters we had did a terrible job and the paint was peeling off our doors, Eder fixed them all and they look so nice now."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, you must thoroughly clean your deck before staining. If you don't, dirt, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped between the wood and the new stain. This not only looks unsightly but also prevents the stain from penetrating the wood properly, reducing its ability to protect the deck from weather and UV rays. As a result, the stain won't last as long or look as good. Any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage. Always wait at least 48 hours after cleaning for the wood to dry completely before applying stain.

You’ll need to wait until the surface is completely dry, which can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours under optimal conditions. The waiting period depends on several factors, including the type of siding and the weather conditions. Trying to paint before the surface is completely dry can trap moisture under the paint, leading to bubbling, blistering, and mold growth.

You’ll need to restrain your deck when you notice fading, cracking, peeling, or mold and mildew over a moderate to large area, or when it’s become especially difficult to clean. As for how often to stain a deck, plan to do it every two to three years or whenever you start to notice extended damage.

It’s best to use an exterior latex acrylic paint to promote maximum adhesion to composite decking. This flexible paint type can better cope with the natural expansion and contraction that can occur with composite deck boards. Oil-based paints won’t adhere as effectively and are more likely to crack and peel as the boards flex. Testing whether your chosen paint will stick on an inconspicuous section or a spare board is a good idea.

Whether you can paint over your existing paint depends on what’s on there. Most of the time, you’ll want to sand down or scrape off the paint that’s currently coating your surface. Epoxy paint, for example, won’t let new paint stick to the surface. Latex paint is more forgiving and will accept a new coat, but a primer is recommended if you’re switching colors.
