"From the moment I contacted Envision Painting I had a very pleasant experience. Kimberly the office manager did research and recommended a Rustoleum Porch and Deck paint from Dunn Edwards. She went above and beyond and contacted Dunn Edwards, spoke to a gal there, gave her my name and told her that I would be going there to look at the paint and pick out my colors. When I got to Dunn Edwards the person was expecting me, helped me immediately and I was out in just a few minutes. On the day that I was to have the job performed Alan the crew chief came and spoke to me and explained that it was going to rain in a few short hours (which it did) and recommended we postpone the job until a few days later. He came on the specified day, applied the paint and waited until the paint sufficiently dried to apply a second coat. He did a meticulous job to my satisfaction. He was very professional, on time and very customer oriented. This was not my first time using Envision Painting. They painted my home about 6 mos. ago and again did an excellent job. I am very very picky and I can't say enough about how they assured me that they were going to please me and they definitely did an excellent job as well as provided excellent customer service. Kimberly and Alan and their crew are the best!! I highly recommend Envision Painting!!"

"We had Matt and his crew paint the entire interior of our home. From the day they started to the day that they finished they were very professional, courteous, very careful with protecting our floors and furniture, and always had a can do attitude. They do beautiful work and are true artisans. I would highly recommend Consider It Finished Painting"

"They were fabulous! Our house looks amazing! They followed our HOA guidelines and were on time every day.  We had them paint our block wall fence which had some water stains. They treated the water stains before painting and the fence looks beautiful. They are very professional and their clean-up was great.  I would highly recommend this wonderful family owned business!"

"I sent out for bids to 5 Angieslist "A" rated painting companies.  James was one of four that bid, and one of only two who actually came to the home to personally inspect the job. After carefully reviewing all of our quotes we decided to work with James. His bid was not the lowest, however, we felt most comfortable with him based on his lifetime experience as a professional painter, the quality of the paints he proposed, his knowledge of the processes, etc. He's very personable and I learned that both his father and grandfather before him were full-time painting professionals. And I really enjoyed the fact that he brought his son Nelson with him, as it was Nelson's first day of summer vacation. Truly a family affair!

James arrived on the day and at the time agreed upon. His team was very careful in prep. Even though this was exterior painting they took great precautions to protect everything such as the cool-deck, outdoor furniture, neighbor's adjoining walls, etc

As a long term valley residents (me 50+ years, my wife 3rd generation native) we've had a lot of exterior painting done. We couldn't be more pleased with the results! Even though our original plans were to just paint the fence now and then repaint our entire 2-story home in about a year or two, we're moving forward with doing the home now, and we are using James Horn and his team to do it.

Thank you James!

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

It's okay to walk on a newly painted deck after about four to six hours as long as the weather has been dry. Be sure to wait at least 24 hours before you place any outdoor furniture or grills on a freshly painted deck, though.

The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage. 

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

If you have a smooth, already bonded concrete surface, painting a concrete pool deck can be a great way to brighten up the area and add longevity. If the surface has another covering or a different type of paint has been used previously, you won’t be able to paint it without removing the existing coating. Wooden decks benefit from painting as it helps to keep them watertight. Quality pool deck paints also help make the surface less slippery and less likely to gather mold and mildew or prematurely crack.

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for.
