"My husband and I had the outside of hour house painted by Robinson Painting about two weeks ago. The whole process went very well. I can't recommend Robinson Painting enough. Ren and his crew were not only very professional but they were very friendly and approachable as well. Ren responded to any questions we had within a few hours of contacting him (and many times within minutes!). The his crew worked quickly, completed on time and did an excellent job. We are very happy with the quality of the work. After completing the work, Ren walked around the house with us to look for issues and to determine if we were happy. We had one small issue and when I contacted him, he came by the next morning and fixed the issue. He and his crew are very good and work to make sure their customers are happy with the work. Not only did we get wonderful service, but his prices are very reasonable as well. Thank you Ren! We appreciate you and your crew very much. We would hire Robinson Painting again."

"Platinum painting responded quickly and gave me a thorough bid estimate. The challenge was repairing and poor job by a previous contractor. When the job started they were prompt and on the site on time every time. They diligently protected my decking and anything that needed protection. They completed the job as promised and in shorter time than they estimated. They were diligent in clean up. I am pleased with their work and will definitely hire them for future projects."

"I'm a Realtor and Property manager and use Mike exclusively for painting my listings. My clients are always satisfied and Mike probably paints about 20 properties a year for me for the last 7 years. Here's an example of his work. https://www.krystlehomes.com/idx/listing/CA-BAREIS/322005404/106-Farallon-Drive-Vallejo-CA-94590"

"The paint job was done in a timely fashion. Solano Paint was very professional, courteous and did a great job including cleanup after the job was done. There was a problem with the sub they hired to do some structural work, replace dry rot etc., but Solano took care of the problems and made sure the job was done right."

"We worked with Ali (sales manager) and Tony (project manager), who took the time to design a project that made sense for our property and our budget, made a number of suggestions and recommendations and were never pushy or tried to "sell" us on something. The crew really went above and beyond to provide top quality workmanship and overall we were in very good hands. Highly recommended!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.

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.

You should seal your deck every one to two years, but you’ll also need to clean and repair your wood deck throughout the seasons. You may want to hire a local house cleaning service to sweep and clean the deck thoroughly. These cleaning services cost around $50 per hour.

Inspect your deck at least once a year, and if you notice any damage or rot, expect to spend about $10 to $50 for simple DIY fixes or about $2,000 for professional repairs on more extensive damage.
