"Brett took the time to really inspect our stucco house in Pleasanton and pointed out some fascia which needed to be repaired, along with some damage to the back of the house which I hadn't noticed. Neither of the other painters I called were so detailed in their inspections nor in their estimates. Brett and his helper were polite and hardworking. We were quite pleased with the job and would recommend Brett's Painting highly."

"Our deck was in really bad shape and needed to be replaced. Select Craftsmanship was both professional and prompt. Sobi had great attention to detail and kept us informed every step of the way. He even checked in with our neighbors when he started building the shared fences, which they really appreciated. Our new deck is gorgeous, functional, and safe. We look forward to enjoying it this summer!"

"This father and son team did an excellent job on staining my redwood deck and painting the entire outside of my home. I feel fortunate to be able to find truly professional painters that change a fair price for their work. I would not hesitate to recommend them to family and friends. Good people and excellent workmanship all at a very competitive price. Thank you Mark and Josh."

"I hired Juan to sand and restain our double front door and to apply solid stain to our fence. He did a fantastic job on both. He was prompt, courteous and professional. His pricing was good and it was a good value for what he delivered. I would not hesitate to hire him again."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

The best paint for an older deck depends on the material and whether or not your deck already has a coat of paint. Generally, if your deck already has paint on it, you should choose the same type of paint when repainting the deck. For example, if an old deck has oil-based paint on it, stick with oil; if your deck has water-based paint, choose water-based paint. 

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

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. 

Painting a damaged pool deck is not recommended if the substrate is crumbling, cracking, spalling, or otherwise actively deteriorating. Continuing deterioration will result in the paint also delaminating or flaking off the damaged surface. Minor damage such as chips or hairline cracks that are not actively deteriorating can often be repaired enough to paint over. A damaged pool deck with a lot of cracking and deterioration should be replaced for best results.

Staining pressure-treated wood is a recommended practice. While inherently resilient, it's not impervious to moisture and UV exposure. Staining treated wood is feasible and recommended for enhanced protection and longevity. Applying stain and sealant safeguards against degradation, prolonging its life span. These measures shield the wood from environmental threats while augmenting its aesthetic appeal, ensuring your investment endures the test of time.
