"The painters worked deftly and neatly. They made our sweet old house full of flakes and cracks look brand new for a very reasonable price. They treated my property with care and were very detail oriented. We are so pleased with the outcome and highly recommend DK Painting for your painting needs."

"The Brandon Paint Co crew were very professional and efficient. Our house was power washed, stained, and the trim painted in under a week with a beautiful result. Communications on site were friendly, open and timely. Setting up the job occurred before the winter and communications were excellent (from interactions to get an estimate, through documenting the contract, and then keeping us informed on planning/scheduling implementation)."

"We have a very unique colored tile roof. When we moved in the color of the house boarded a light peach. While the peach color did match the roof, we hated the color. Nathan worked with us to get a color that not only matched the roof but also looked neutral and clean. He was great! His crew were efficient and nice. They showed up when expected and got the job done in a few days which was great since I was home with a newborn. It looks amazing one year later!"

"Eddy got the job done over several days. It was a big job to re-stain front door and panels and molding inside and out. Also re-stain patio door inside. The front door had older-style hardware. We could not find a replacement hardware set so Eddy refinished and painted the old set. It turned out beautiful! Eddy also painted my very high window wells in the family room. beautiful. Eddy and his helper, Claudia, are very nice people, professional and pleasant to work with. I will hire Genesis painting the next time I need work done. Their work is first class."

"Absolutely phenomenal! Beyond my expectations. Roman took a damaged canvas in a 1921 home and made it look great. He showed up on time or early and stayed late to complete the job. I appreciated that he set expectations and provided guidance on what would look best. He also set a realistic time and stuck to it. Roman is a great painter and an even better person. If you want it done right, hire him. I would definitely hire Roman at EZY painting again."

"A-1 Quality Painting recently completed a fence staining project at my home, and I couldnâ t be happier with the results. From start to finish, the team was professional, efficient, and highly skilled. They arrived on time, prepped the area carefully, and took the time to protect surrounding landscaping, which I really appreciated. The quality of the stain application was exceptionalâ every inch of the fence is evenly coated, and the color is exactly what I had envisioned. What really stood out to me was their attention to detail. They made sure every board was thoroughly covered, including those hard-to-reach spots, and they cleaned up everything perfectly when the job was done. The entire crew was courteous and respectful, and they finished the project within the agreed timeframe and budget. My fence looks brand new, and Iâ m confident it will be protected for years to come thanks to the quality materials and expert craftsmanship provided by A-1 Quality Painting. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality painting service. They truly live up to their name!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.

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

No, it is not okay to paint over rotted wood. Painting over rotted wood will not address the underlying issue and can trap moisture, leading to further decay. Properly addressing the rotted wood by removing and replacing or repairing the damaged areas is necessary before you can even consider painting.

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

When applying multiple coats, wait four to six hours for each coat to dry. Not waiting long enough can result in streaks, peeling, and uneven color. Plus, it will be more difficult to discern where the second coat has already been applied.
