"Extremely professional, diligent and structured, Brett first came out to conduct a visual inspection of the work that needed to be done and to understand what we needed. While at the site, he gave us an overview of how he will approach the work, the time it will take, the process and the schedule. He then sent us a quote with all the details of the work that would be performed. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, Brett had to reschedule. We were informed days in advance of the need to reschedule and he worked with us to figure out a mutually convenient time. A day before the work started Brett gave us a call to confirm as well as review what would be done on the day he would arrive. Brett and his assistant were punctual on the day the project started. They laid down coverings to ensure that our place would remain stain free after they completed the work. They explained what they were going to do and at the end of the day reviewed the tasks that they had completed including the tasks remaining for the next day. They were on time the next day as well, completed the job ahead of time, cleaned up after themselves and reviewed the completed work before they signed off. Brett even worked with us to accommodate a mistake on our end in choosing the color without complaining and without an impact to the original budget. We would highly recommend Brett to anyone looking for painting contractors and intend to use him once again in the very near future. We wish more contractors were as professional and easy to work with."

"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 hired GM painting (habla español) to take care of the interior of my 3 bedroom home and I am glad I did. The improvement of a home it s one of the most important investment and Mr Juan for sure makes you feel comfortable when getting the process of painting done. He is very knowledgeable and shares with you tips on how to take care of the painting of your walls. One thing that caught my attention what s how confident Mr Juan is about the quality of his paint without a hesitation he explain that if something happens to his work in the next few months I can give him a call. I have never heard another painter do that so that a huge plus. So a week after my 1 year old son put the painting to the test. He stained a big part of the dinning wall with spaghetti sauce it was bad. But I did what Mr Juan advice me, to just wipe it with a Cleaning wet wipe and that will do, and it did. Great paint quality super friendly person and is not afraid to share he s knowledge. I 100% recommend this company. He also speaks Spanish. (Habla Español.)"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.

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.

The plastic in composite decking boards protects them enough that you do not need to paint them to prevent warping. In fact, painting composite decking voids the warranty of some manufacturers. Painting can also increase maintenance on the deck, as you must paint regularly to keep it looking its best.

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.

The best temperature to paint a pool deck is between 50 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit, because many paints and sealers require temperatures warm enough for the chemical reaction to take place for proper curing. The paint should not be allowed to freeze, and temperatures above 90 degrees can cause the paint to dry too quickly, also preventing the chemical reaction from following through to completion.
