"I can't recommend this painter highly enough! He did a great job. He even made my badly weathered deck look like new again. He did an amazing job masking and covering everything, power washed the complete exterior in preparation for paint, patched stucco cracks, always arrived on time, always responded to my questions in a timely manner, and just generally did everything to 100%. I'll absolutely be using him again!"

"Hired Ruben's to paint the exterior of my house after receiving a competitive estimate. We met with Ruben on day 1 and he walked us thru the timeline based on the work needed. He was on time and under budget and left the outside in better shape then when they arrived. Ruben was hands on and attentive every step of the way, letting me know what they were doing, from applying primer to my deck to repairing stucco and wood trim. I couldn't give him a higher recommendation"

"We hired Integrity Painting for several areas inside our home including the kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanity, and laundry room cabinets. Jon and his crew did an amazing job. The paint they use is so durable and easy to clean! Jon and his entire crew were extremely professional, efficient and kept my home clean throughout the entire process. We would definitely hire them again for future projects. Highly recommend 10/10!"

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.

A wood deck requires annual cleaning and regular inspections for loose or broken boards, nails, and screws. It should be refinished by applying a stain or sealer every two to three years to protect the wood from water damage, rot, mildew, and sun fading. The exact frequency can depend on the climate and the deck's exposure to sun and moisture. If your deck is painted, it will need repainting approximately every 10 years. Signs that your deck needs refinishing include faded, splintering, or warping boards.

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

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.

It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the deck refinishing process. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.
