"Alex has worked on our interior walls, our bathroom and kitchen remodels, taking our dull oak grained cabinets and making them look new. The exterior of our home was also painted, along with our front door. It looks fantastic! We’ve had compliments and even professionals tell us what a great job he did preparing, sealing, and painting. Whenever we need or hear of someone needing his services, we recommend him highly."

"My husband a I recently bought our first home in the summer of 2018. The first improvement on the list was to repaint. All the walls throughout the house and the master bedroom baseboards were painted a very unpleasant brown. Being someone who grew up around construction and worked for a remodeling company I have a good eye for quality work. Custom Applications Painting exceeded my expectations. Our initial consultation was wonderful, they understood my vision, preferences and helped narrow down my color choices. When it came down to getting the job done Custom Applications Painting were quick, efficient and respectful of our space. They even made our deadline before our housewarming party. I had several friends and family members complement the work they had done and some even took pictures. Our house is now a home thanks to Custom Applications Painting. I will be working with them again on our next project!"

"I can't say enough about the amazing work done by Chuck at Dolan Painting and More. Chuck restored our weathered and peeling front gate and it now looks like brand new! He was professional throughout the project and when the color wasn't just right to his satisfaction, he worked several extra hours to get it just right to his and our satisfaction. He is an extremely hard worker and we look forward to working with Dolan Painting and More on several additional painting and handyman projects around our home. If you're looking for a company that is affordable, hard working, and professional, this is it. Thanks for our beautiful refinished gate!"

"Sam and his assistant we're absolutely fantastic! They did a thorough cleaning and flushing of all of the gutters on the house, unblocking several clogs, and locating three in-ground blockages that we'll need to have snaked out with another company. He also located a small hole in the side of one of the gutters where water was coming out during the flushing, and that was sealed up. On doing a final inspection before leaving, Sam discovered some mud caked up under one of the eaves and had that cleared out, as well. I'll absolutely use his company again for all future gutter cleanings. I've already referred him to our neighbor, who plans on using him, as well. I HIGHLY recommend this company!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on coating type, labor, site preparation, and required finishes.

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.

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.

You’ll want to avoid excessively hot or humid conditions, so it’s best to apply your stain in late spring to early fall. It's also important to watch the weather forecast and aim for days when there isn’t rain expected for at least three days. For new decks, allow the wood to season beforehand for at least four to eight weeks.
