Customers say: True professional

"Luis is a skilled, hard-working, thorough, and trustworthy professional craftsman who takes pride in doing an excellent job. He cleaned and restained 3 redwood decks for me, along with wood shingling around my house, repainting the white trims. I was deeply impressed with his noteworthy attention to detail in his estimate, pointing out to me many things I hadn't seen, discovering dry rot and other serious deteriorations in the woodwork that was built in the late 1970's. Too many contractors would just paint over the problems, but every step of the way Luis pointed out the situation and gave me options for repair and replacement. I feel so fortunate to have hired Luis and his team to work on restaining, repainting, repair and/or replacing all the defective wood in my structures. He did an outstanding job, and I have full confidence in his trustworthy integrity and skill. I'm already hiring him again for additional work. Without any hesitation, I recommend Luis Painting Company for any work you may need done in this area."

"We knew our roof needed to be replaced for a while, but kept putting it off because it felt like such a big project. After meeting with Ocean Seven Builders, we felt comfortable moving forward. Ron was straightforward from day one and didn?t overcomplicate anything. He broke everything down in simple terms and gave us a realistic timeline. The crew worked fast, showed up when they said they would, and cleaned up every day. It?s been a few weeks now and everything looks great. Happy we finally got it done!"

"He is incredibly hardworking, responsible, and answered my initially inquiry in less than 3 minutes (on a holiday). In fact, I was still reading the Service Magic website when I received his call. I am waiting for the bill to arrive but I was very impressed that he was most concerned with my getting the gutters cleaned before a big storm arrived into town. I definately would recommend him!!"

"I thought I was gonna have to replace the whole deck after I noticed one of the corners was starting to rot pretty bad. Honestly, I was already bracing myself for a full rebuild. But the guys at Expert Home Builders came out and told me they could just do a partial repair. Wasn?t expecting that but they made it work and saved me a ton. The patch blends in better than I thought it would and the deck feels solid again. I probably should?ve called them sooner, but glad I didn?t let it get worse."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Adding a second coat of stain to wood can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.

To make sure the paint won’t bubble as you apply it, make sure to paint on a day that’s cooler than 85 degrees Fahrenheit. When the temperature is too high, the paint won’t dry evenly, which can result in bubbles forming on the surface. Another way to prevent paint from bubbling is to clean the walls, apply primer, and let everything dry completely before you begin.

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.

While the answer varies based on weather, 10 a.m. is a good time to start painting. The dew will have dried, meaning there’s no moisture on the house, and the temperature will likely be moderate and the sunlight less direct. Starting mid-morning should also give you enough daylight and pleasant weather to work on the job for several hours.

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.
