"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"

"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."

"I am very happy with the job Victory Painting did on my house. After they did the power wash and prep and left for the day I did a careful examination. Old, clumsily done caulking by previous painter had been removed and carefully redone. Repairs of the wood trim was better than I thought could be done. After paint was applied my 20 year old house looked almost new. Thanks to Steve for explaining about what paints would work best in this area. It sure helps to hire someone with so much experience."

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.

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.

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. 

There’s no single paint that’s the most waterproof. Instead, there are several types of waterproof and water-resistant paints that suit different purposes. Epoxy paint, for instance, is commonly used to provide a waterproof coating to floors and decks. Masonry paint is an excellent choice for exterior walls. Meanwhile, there are waterproof acrylic paints that can be used for interior and exterior walls. It’s more about choosing the best type for what you’re painting instead of the most waterproof paint overall.

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface.
