"Carlos was recommended by my realtor to paint the exterior of my home and deck and to assist in some inside sheet rock repair; including painting. I was extremely impressed with both Carlos and his team. His communication was nothing short of exceptional, the price was fair, and they did an outstanding job cleaning up after each visit and protecting all surfaces to avoid damage. I also am grateful for the job ending on time; thus, allowing me to place my home up for sale sooner than expected. My new exterior paint job looks fabulous! I encourage anyone in Butte County to use Carlos and his team."

"We recently had Mega Power Electric Inc install a solar system and panels. The President and provided excellent communication all the way through the process. He even met with us after installation to explain the almost incomprehensible PG&E bill. Although not the least expensive bid, his was competitive and I felt he was as interested in educating me about solar and the various types of panels and inverter systems as he was in selling a system. He demonstrated how the array of panels would meet our energy needs and as opposed to some of the other companies, wasn't selling us more than we needed. We are very satisfied with our solar system and I highly recommended Mega Power Electric Inc."

"L & S Painting I’ve never written a review, favorable or unfavorable for a business before but this time I felt strongly that I should share my experience, so here goes… Starting with the owner, Phil: Extremely professional, knowledgable, hands-on and as one of his employees described him, “one of those ‘look you in the eye, shake your hand and remember your name’ kinda’ guys.” The job: A huge project taking several days and several men. Entire log house, eves, windows, deck and railings needed to be stained…. including a lot of prep work and sanding. The before and after difference is remarkable. We are extremely pleased. The crew: Everyone of the men who worked on our home was courteous, skilled and not at all afraid of hard work. The crew foreman worked over-time to make sure every detail was completed and was totally accommodating, only wanting us to be happy with the work. And we were! Thank you L & S!"

"Daniel started the job promptly and even worked part of a weekend to get it done on time. He showed up as agreed, answers his phone, and responds to texts. He uses quality materials and knows what he is doing. It was a whole unit job: walls, ceilings,, closet interiors, bathrooms, kitchen. What a difference. He may be slightly higher than some, but it is the price of quality. Thanks!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

The staining or painting process involves cleaning the deck, sanding surfaces, applying a primer (if needed), and carefully applying stain or paint for an even, lasting finish.

DIY staining or painting is manageable with proper preparation, including safety measures, necessary tools, and adherence to safe weather conditions for application.

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

Yes, beginners can use a paint sprayer, but there is a learning curve. It's important to go slowly, read the instructions thoroughly, and spend some time learning the technique. Watching tutorial videos for your specific paint sprayer model can be very helpful. Before starting your main project, practice on a scrap surface to get used to the sprayer and avoid common issues like overspraying, which can cause drips, bubbles, and other imperfections. For safety, always wear a mask and gloves, and be careful not to touch the sprayer's tip when it's in use, particularly with high-powered airless sprayers.
