"DnA Pajinting did a great job. This job entailed restoration of wood beems that were sun damaged. This restoration required sanding, scraping, power washing, and filling cracks. The placement of the beems, 10 to 12 feet above the patio, presented a further difficulty. The DnA teem went above and beyond my expectations. I will definitely use them again for any of our painting needs. Thanks Rod"

"Bryan did and amazing job and clearly defined and delivered on all of the work he promised on our roof coating project. We are out of town, so he provided us with pictures of the work along the way. His fee was on par with other contractors, but the quality of work is superior. I would hire him for any painting job again."

"Steve Morris and his crew were efficient and thorough in repainting the exterior including a spectacular door refinish some brick resealing and parapet sealing. The paint used appears to be high quality and looks good! The bid was very competitive. I would definitely recommend them, and use them again."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.

Painted decks typically require a new coat about once every ten years. In between new coats, it's best to maintain your deck by regularly removing debris, washing it down with non-abrasive cleaners, and staying ahead of structural issues, such as loose boards and rotting wood. In some cases, painting a small section of your deck affected by damage or the sun can lower your costs and workload.

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.

The staining or painting process involves cleaning the deck, sanding surfaces, applying a primer (if needed), and carefully applying stain or paint for an even, lasting finish.

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.
