"I rarely do reviews but I was so impressed with George and his crew. George was so professional; he discussed clearly how he was going to paint the areas, what & why he used certain paints & paint products and the time he needed to do the job. His crew is just as nice, helpful & always prompt. I have used several painters in the last 23 years and honestly his work is the best I have ever seen. George clearly takes pride in doing a great job. My only regret; that I didn't meet George & his crew sooner because I probably would of avoided the damage to some areas of my deck that George pointed out and helped me treat. I will definitely be using A+ Painting again."

"Rolando wants to provide the best results and makes excellent recommendations that you should consider and discuss. Lower cost (cheaper paints) don’t necessarily give you the best or lasting results. His team is very meticulous and does a great job in prepping and cleanup."

"Bruce did a good job of keeping us informed when what would be done on our deck. Everything went so quick once we decided to go with them. The deck looks like new again."

"Wish they had given me more time to choose colors. I felt pressured to decide. (Reasonable I guess as the painters were ready to go but their was still quite a bit more prep work to do).. The workers were pleasant and accommodating. There was a lot of pick up of tape, etc. that I had to do (small pieces of stuff) but overall they cleaned up well. I felt they charged me a fair amount and that was nice. The owner did a walk through but a bit before they finished. I went out today and found paint dripped on several place on my cement walks. Also I was disappointed that they did not put things back they had to move. Some are way too heavy for me to move myself. Also noticed when I opened some of the doors that they missed some of the edges. They had to scrape and sand some things a lot and made things look almost brand new. It was amazing."

"Adam did an outstanding job staining my fence!! I got three separate quotes for the job and Adam's estimate was by far the most reasonable. He showed up on time, was well prepared, and even fixed some of the broken fence boards! Highly recommend, 10/10."

"I needed my wood carriage type garage door and 30 feet of cedar fence refinished and stained after 9 years of wear. I also needed the wood trim around the house repainted. It was hard for me to find a painter who would take on this relatively small job. Previous businesses I contacted even through Angies List either weren't interested in the size of the job or wanted to paint the garage door rather than stain it. Detail Pro Painting understood what I wanted and made it happen. Their attention to detail for both the prep work as well as the actual staining were quite superb. They power washed, bleached, sanded where needed and masked off the adjoining areas very meticulously. There was no "overspray" or bleed when they were done. I am really very happy with the job they did. Manny the owner communicated well and understood what I desired. I believe that this company takes pride in their quality and does not charge extra for it!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Painting a damaged pool deck is not recommended if the substrate is crumbling, cracking, spalling, or otherwise actively deteriorating. Continuing deterioration will result in the paint also delaminating or flaking off the damaged surface. Minor damage such as chips or hairline cracks that are not actively deteriorating can often be repaired enough to paint over. A damaged pool deck with a lot of cracking and deterioration should be replaced for best results.

When choosing between deck stain or paint, knowing what will last longer is important. Deck paint lasts longer than deck stain. With deck paint, you can get up to 10 years of coverage before you need to reapply. With deck stain, that time is significantly shorter at two to three years

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. 

Aftercare includes routine cleaning, checking for water repellency, and promptly addressing any chips or peels, maintaining the deck's appearance and functionality.

Yes, staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan, typically by five to 10 years. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and rot over time. Applying a treatment creates a protective shield that helps prevent splintering, fading, and decay, preserving the wood's strength and appearance. A combination stain and sealer often provides the best protection, as it soaks into the wood grain rather than just sitting on top. This offers superior defense against UV damage and rot and lasts longer than a sealer alone. To maintain the wood's natural look, consider using a near-translucent stain. You should plan to reapply the stain or sealer every two to three years.
