"Jose’s Painting Co. crew was on-time, all the time and did a great job! Truly professional and do impeccable prep-work. They are detail oriented and clean-up after they finish each day. Their prices are fair and their work is solid. Good attitude and customer service! Jose came out to give an estimate and we had one by the end of the day. Would definitely use them again! Happy customers! Thank you, Jose and Jose!"

"I got three bids and James's was the middle price. He arrived quickly to give me a quote, scheduled immediately a few days later when I made up my mind. His crew arrived very punctually (too early for my neighbors, but that's another story). I was amazed at how quickly they did the prep and painting - quoted me four days, painting only took two days (power wash was day before), with some touchups/finishes on day 3. And they did a great job! I had a couple quirky things that they easily folded into the job. The crew were all professional and courteous. There was small amount of painting on the ground at the base of the house (as I expected), but none on the patios/deck. They bent one screen in the process and when I pointed it out, they immediately got it replaced! They were fairly careful with the plants around the house as well. Also, I texted James a few times with various questions or requests, and he was very responsive and helpful. I really liked working with them and would not hesitate to recommend them in the future."

"Julie is a professional who knows what sheâ s doing. She did an excellent job for us to refinish our front door, which involved stripping off the old stain, sanding, and applying the new stain/varnish. It looks great. Her rates are also fair and reasonable. Highly recommend!!"

"Elliott is a task oriented guy; he knows his business. So glad I followed his recommendations. His crew is nice, punctual and neat. The stained kitchen cabinets look new and the apartment looks new N larger based on the suggested paint color.. The job took longer because they took the time to prep the walls N patch all cracks. This property is a rental and it will show quite well."

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

Two coats of stain are ideal for the best protection and aesthetic appeal. However, if your decking is made of particularly dense hardwood, you may only need one coat. If you want an intense color, two coats are ideal.

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.

The opposite is actually true: Wood stains tend to appear lighter when they’re fully dry. However, stains may darken as they weather and oxidize with age. Stains might also darken on surfaces left in direct sunlight, as UV rays can break down pigment particles and cause them to darken over time.

You can use latex or acrylic paint outdoors. Although acrylic paint tends to last longer outside, it also costs more, so if you’re painting the outside of your house, for instance, latex paint is often a go-to option. However, acrylic will be your best choice if you want to spend some extra money for added durability.

Apply a wood stain or sealant to properly maintain a wood deck railing and keep it looking new. Sealants protect wood from moisture and weathering. Regularly inspect the railing for loose screws, damaged balusters, and other signs of wear to make timely repairs. Routinely clean the railing using mild soap, water, and a soft bristle brush.
