"Outstanding job! Total attention to details. Made trim repairs where the wood was damaged and added extra protection to moisture exposed surfaces. Cleaned and did a thorough sanding job on every surface before painting. Masked off to protect overlap. He and his crew never seemed rushed and went above and beyond my expectations. They also respected my space and didn't play music like so many crews I've experienced. I'm delighted to have used such a professional!!! Rogers excellent painting work is worth waiting for!"

The craftsmanship and professionalism truly stood out. If you’re looking for a company that delivers quality work with care and integrity, Shepherds Contracting is it!"

"The work and all the members of the team were timely and professional. They were very careful about my home and made sure everything was covered well especially my screened in porch area. I would recommend them to anyone and plan on having them back in the fall for interior painting. The price was very fair compared to my other bids."

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

It’s necessary for paint to completely dry before exposure to rain, and that drying time varies by the type of paint used. Oil-based paint takes 6 to 8 hours to dry on average, meaning that’s the minimum time needed between the last brush stroke and the first raindrop. Latex paint dries faster at around 1 hour, and acrylic paint is even quicker, usually drying in about 30 minutes. If rain is in the forecast, check the paint manufacturer's details before laying on a new coat. 

Staining a deck is typically less expensive upfront than painting. The cost to stain a deck professionally averages around $850, with most homeowners paying between $550 and $1,250, depending on the deck's size. A DIY staining project can cost less than $100. The cost to paint a deck ranges from $500 to $2,000. While the initial cost of staining is lower, it's important to consider long-term expenses. Paint can last up to 10 years, whereas stain needs to be reapplied every few years, which could lead to higher costs over time.

For homes in areas with extreme weather, high heat, or intense sun exposure, high-quality acrylic paint is the best option. Acrylic paint is durable, resistant to both heat and cold, and provides a protective barrier with excellent UV resistance. For best results, look for acrylics that contain natural earth pigments, which are better suited for resisting sun damage. While oil-based paint is also durable, it can be prone to fading in high heat and can become too viscous to apply easily in cold temperatures. Additionally, choosing a neutral or light color like gray, beige, or white can help, as these colors absorb less heat than darker shades.

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.

Choose based on climate, finish preference (glossy, matte), and durability. Tailored coatings also provide longevity.
