"This is the 2nd time using Sun Painting since the first time on a guest house was done so well. This job was interior repair and paint for the AZ room. The Sun Painting crew is careful, competent, helpful. The room really needed repairs before paint. So, it was more than just paint. It was done well, beautiful room again. Sun Painting is great, start to finish, set up, labor, clean up. They are thorough and really nice guys, too. They will be doing job number 3 at my home in a few weeks. I trust their work."

"We had a small touch-up painting job on the exterior of the house where new wood had been installed and some stucco needed repainting, Wildcat Painting came out quickly and gave us a very reasonable quote. After accepting the quote, they arrived promptly and did an excellent job."

Customers say: Quick response

"I highly recommend Edd's & Co. Our house is approx 4800 SF stucco/wood trim and we did a full exterior re-paint. Edd and his crew arrived on the day he promised and completed the job by the end of the week as promised. The quality of the work was excellent. Clean lines, no spills or drips. His crew seems like they have been with him for a while as they all work well together. Very courteous. When done, they put everything back together, including our patio, cleaned up all taping, drop clothes and any overspray on the ground. On final walkthrough - no issues. Will be working with them again when we do some interior painting this fall."

"Owner Carlos did a great job. He was assigned to paint the trim on my house and he and Anthony did a super job! Absolutely no complaints. Very friendly and professional. This is the second job he’s done for me. Carlos has become my friend and definitely my go-to person for painting."

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint. 

Routine cleaning, sealing/staining, and inspection prolong deck life and appearance.

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.

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

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.
