"They started each day at 8:00 AM and worked until 5:00 or later. They were very polite and professional. The lead person George would explain what they would be doing each day and then perform the tasks. The deck looks like it is brand new and the redwood has the original color and grain. Note: the bill included 4 hours of setting the deck screws so they could sand. Otherwise they performed to the bid."

"Hire this company! Can't recommend them enough. Anthony came out quickly to look at a small bathroom job and was able to fit it in the same week. The work was very professional and they did everything just the way I wanted for a reasonable price. They also did a great job of cleaning everything up afterward. I will use them again for my next painting job!"

"From beginning through completion Gene exceeded my expectations. I normally do all my own work, but due to my schedule I did not have time to compete the project. Gene arrived when he said he would to give me an estimate. The price and scope of work were reasonable and fair. We set a start date. The night before I received a text to confirm. At 8:00 AM The door bell rang. They were here. The gentleman who pressure washed they house did a great job. Even cleaned the stairs and sidewalk. The paint crew also arrived on time. They did a super job. Clean and quick. Those guys worked really hard during some hot, smokey weather. The place looks great."

Customers say: True professional

"I have worked with Ceres Construction on multiple residential projects that have spanned several years in duration. Adrian is one of the most reliable and upstanding contractors I have worked with in Marin and his attention to quality is rare. Our first project was a historic home in Mill Valley where Adrian and team built my children a treehouse that’s right out of a storybook nestled into a large tree. Next he rebuilt several decks/railings, re-sided our ADU, and installed new outdoor electrical. At our next home in San Anselmo, we called Ceres to completely rebuild a large outdoor deck that leaked and caused damage to the living spaces below. We also had them prep the house for sale by replacing banisters, remodeling the kitchen, and finishing the garage. We purchased a very old home that needed lots of work while maintaining the charm. Ceres worked for 18 months and handled everything from foundations to plumbing to drywall. You name it, they can do it all. Best in the business."

"TM did an awesome job painting all the interior walls of our home. They painted 8 rooms and 2 bathrooms in two days which exceeded our expectations. Their work quality is excellent and they moved and protected our furniture and floors to prevent any paint damage. Also did a thorough clean up after the painting was completed. We highly recommended them."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Prestige Custom Painters, and I couldn't be more impressed with the results. From start to finish, their attention to detail was unparalleled. Victor, the owner, made communication a breeze. He was always responsive and followed up promptly, which made the whole process seamless. His supervisor, Jesus, and the entire team were incredibly professional throughout the job. The task at hand was a complex one—painting my three-story building with a mix of stucco, wood, and cement shingle siding. The restoration of the original wood window trim, which had been neglected for over 100 years, was a major concern. The trim had significant warping and pitting, but after Prestige's work, it looks as though it's brand new. They also took the time to extensively caulk everything, ensuring a smooth, flawless finish. Another highlight was their meticulous approach to protecting the surrounding areas. They covered the windows and work areas with tarps and plastic, preventing any potential damage. Additionally, they cleaned up daily and did so more thoroughly than other subcontractors I've worked with. I would highly recommend Prestige Custom Painters to anyone looking for quality craftsmanship and a team that truly cares about their work. It was a pleasure working with them, and the final results speak for themselves!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

Avoid using cleaning products that are abrasive or contain bleach or acidic components on composite decking to avoid discoloration. Early-generation Trex decking isn’t designed to handle pressure washer cleaning—and if you use them on second-generation boards, always use a low setting to avoid the risk of damage that can risk voiding your warranty.

Costs depend on coating type, labor, site preparation, and required finishes.

Always sand a deck before repainting so the wood is smooth and ready for paint. While you do not need to fully remove paint before repainting, sanding helps remove any areas with weather and sun damage. Sanding also helps remove chipped or flaking paint and opens the wood pores to improve paint adhesion.

You don’t necessarily have to remove all the old paint before repainting your deck, but it’s best to remove as much as possible to ensure a smooth and long-lasting finish. Prioritize scraping off loose, peeling, or flaking paint, and sand down rough areas to create a smooth surface for the new paint to bond with.
