"They painted and repaired wood on fireplace outside. Painted shutters. Pressure washed driveway, sidewalk, deck and front gutter. Painted water sealant on deck. They cleaned up and came back and put items back on the deck after it dried. I was pleased with their work."

"They provided a very well worded and complete estimate. Their price was not the lowest but fair and the professionalism caused us to feel more comfortable with them. We chose all the colors and provided those prior to the job beginning. The crew arrived exactly when they were expected, completely prepared and neat. On the 2nd morning of the job, my wife was stopped by the crew leader. He showed my wife the catalog of stain colors and said he thought our choice for the deck was too dark. He showed a lighter brown and asked her to allow him to go with the lighter color. My wife at first said she wanted to stick with the darker one because it matched the trim and gutters. The foreman was rather insistent and said that he thought she would regret it and that changing away from the darker one would be difficult. By this point my wife was running late for work so she agreed to his suggestion. When we got home that afternoon the crew was finished and the job looked GREAT! Everything was cleaned up well and we loved it. The deck, unfortunately didn't look right. There was a slight purple tint in the brown. We found a couple of small areas that needed touch up and The Painting Company was very responsive to those requests. They sent someone out quickly to let us point out the issues. They were all corrected. At the same time we pointed out that we were not pleased with the color of the deck. The person who was with us questioned why we didn't like it. He pointed out that we had signed off on the color. He also said that, in his opinion, it looked great. We still saw it as a purple and brown mix that we didn't like. He asked us to give it a chance to grow on us. It never did and after a few months we painted it again ourselves. Overall we loved working with The Painting Company. We will use them again, but next time we will stick with our color choices.

"Fantastic company. They did complete exterior painting, including staining large deck, metal railings, and complete refinishing of front door. They are committed to getting things right and are consummate professionals. I can't recommend highly enough. Our neighbors saw their work and hired them on the spot. Great company and we're very pleased with the results."

"This is my second time to use Altract. They painted our interior home several years ago and they just painted our exterior brick and trim. They also repaired old deck boards and stained our deck and fence. Alex and his crew did an amazing job. Donnie the General Manager came by afterward to do the walk through with us. We were very please with their work and the professionalism of the work crew. My neighbors are already asking who did the work. We love it!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths

Ideally, it's best to stain your dock once per year. Applying stain doesn't just keep it looking nice and new; it also helps extend the dock’s lifespan. Since you want to ensure water levels are at their lowest, it's best to have this project done by a professional dock repair service in the cooler autumn or early winter months. 

Exterior paints contain more volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, making them dangerous when used indoors. Without the free ventilation of the great outdoors, it can take longer for the fumes to dissipate than interior paint. While you may notice the smell lessening more quickly, you should be wary of paint fumes inside for 48 to 72 hours after it dries.

Yes, it is generally a very good idea to seal your deck after pressure washing. Power washing removes not only dirt and debris but also a thin layer of wood, leaving the surface exposed and more susceptible to weathering. Sealing is almost always needed after this process. After a general cleaning, sealing isn't automatically necessary if the existing sealant is still intact. You can test the surface by placing a few drops of water on it. If the water beads up, the sealant is working. If it soaks into the wood, it's time to apply a new sealant. If it has been a few years, it's wise to remove the old sealant, wash the deck, and reseal for maximum protection.

Adding a second coat of stain to wood can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.
