"When I called Vargas Painting....."Jorge" was very professional and showed up on time as he promised. He inspected our home.....along with all of the boards. A few boards needed replacing and our home needed painting. Two days later I had his bid. His price was very fair. Jorge is very personable. He had very good ratings on this site, he provided me with his insurance verification without having to be asked. We hired him. He was great to work with us, as I had already planned a two week vacation and didn't want the house painted while I was gone. After the initial deposit (Approx 1/3 of the contract) we made arrangements for when he would start on our home. He was very accommodating. He started working on the agreed date. He power washed the house. Replaced the rotten boards, calked and sealed and scraped and finally painted. We used two different paints. We instructed him on how we wanted the painting and also asked for his professional opinion on a couple of smaller issues. He painted everything the way that we wanted. Every evening they cleaned up tarps and tools but they did ask if they could leave them behind our home. At the end of everyday Jorge communicated with us what was done that day, and what would be done the next day. Everything went so smoothly. The home was painted in a week. Jorge asked me on the final day to do a complete walk around on the house and make him a list of anything that was missed or that needed to be touched up or redone. My husband is very picky and he was very pleased with the job. We have other jobs around the house.....as we will be repainting our kitchen and bathrooms along with staining our kitchen cabinets. We intend on hiring Vargas painting again and again!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.

Two coats of stain are ideal for the best protection and aesthetic appeal. However, if your decking is made of particularly dense hardwood, you may only need one coat. If you want an intense color, two coats are ideal.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.

Most gutter painting pros also specialize in complete home exterior painting. You may save by making your gutter painting part of the cost to paint the exterior of a house in its entirety. Many people have all parts of their home exterior painted simultaneously to keep everything looking equally fresh. Consider having walls, trim, porches, shutters, and doors painted as well.

Hiring a contractor or professional deck refinisher is the best way to ensure your deck is properly stained. They have the expertise, tools, and supplies to do the job quickly and efficiently. However, staining a deck is a manageable task for most homeowners, and doing the job yourself can save money. Just keep in mind that DIY staining is a long process requiring physical strain, so it may not be the best option for everyone.
