"Martinez Painting did a wonderful job staining my fence. They power washed it a couple of days before staining and it turned out amazing! Will hire them again!"

"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."

"Josh of Shepherd’s Hammer did an amazing job for our home. He installed a fire wall and fire door in our garage, as well built a new back deck. Both jobs were great. He was always on time, completed the job as planned, on budget, and kept us updated on the projects as they were in progress. Exceptionally pleased with the work. Already planning other projects around the house. Highly recommend."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

The best time to paint your deck is when temperatures are neither too cold (below 60 degrees) nor too hot (above 85 degrees). Always paint your deck when there’s no risk of rain. For fast-drying paint like acrylic or latex, ensure your deck can dry for at least four hours. Oil-based paints take longer to dry and may require 48 hours to completely cure.

If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood’s grain for best results.

Choosing the right product involves understanding deck material, desired finish, and local weather conditions. Opt for high-quality, weatherproof formulations ensuring long-term durability and appearance retention.

It is not always necessary to remove old stain before restaining a deck. If the previous stain is in good condition and is compatible with the new stain, you may be able to apply a new coat after thorough cleaning. However, if the old stain is in bad condition, flaking, or peeling, it is best to remove it completely to ensure an even surface and proper adhesion for the new coat. Staining over a damaged layer can lead to an uneven finish and poor penetration. For best results, test a small area first and consult the stain manufacturer's guidelines.

Here's the deal with leaving used rags covered in oil-based stain lying around in a pile: Depending on the conditions, these rags can take just an hour or up to a few days to combust. The source of ignition is caused by trapped heat that can be compounded if the rags are near a heat source.
