"They were very careful with details, and they cleaned everything up after their work. In negotiating with Cesar ahead of time, he was cordial and helpful, allowing us space to decide exactly what we wanted in color and trim. On site, they took great care in the preparation prior to painting and did an excellent job in all respects. We enjoyed the experience, and are really happy with the finished product. Review by Margie in Clovis."

"Excellent workmanship. Respectful gentleman. On time. He is by far the cleanest and most careful painter we've ever hired. Cleaned walls, ceilings and trim, to my standards, prior to painting. I'm a (fine art oil) painter, myself, so I'm picky and difficult to work for. He went beyond our expectations and prepared/repaired the wall surfaces, window and door frames beautifully. Afterwards, I did not have to clean up after him or scrape fine mists of paint from our hardwood floors and baseboards, as I've done with other painters. His bid was not the cheapest, but mid-range bid and we knew he was the right choice after interviewing him."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

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. 

A quality, well-maintained PVC decking can last 30 to 50 years. It’s known for being one of the most durable types of decking materials, with composite decking having a 25- to 30-year average lifespan and some softwood deckings only lasting 10 to 15 years. Luxury hardwood decks like Ipe may last longer than PVC decking, but they can cost more and require more maintenance.

Whether composite decking is better than wood depends on your priorities, especially regarding budget and maintenance. Composite decking offers superior longevity (30 to 50 years) and durability, and it is low-maintenance, requiring no sanding, staining, or sealing. In contrast, wood decks typically last 10 to 30 years and need refinishing every few years. While the upfront cost of composite is higher than wood, the reduced maintenance can lead to long-term savings. If a lower initial cost is the primary factor, wood is the more affordable choice.

For the best results, stay off of your deck for at least 48 hours after sealing it. Giving the sealant at least two full days to cure ensures it can fully penetrate the wood, giving you the most protection from sun and weather damage later on. Walking on the deck too soon can prevent it from properly curing and cause your deck to weather prematurely.
