"Patrick and his crew did a great job on our house. They started the job right doing a lot of prep work to ensure that the paint would last a long time. The crew working were meticulous, cleaned up carefully at the end of every day, and respectful. Neighbors commented about what a great job the crew were doing and how good the work looked. The final product looks great, and Patrick provided some good advice around color scheme to really make the most of the work being done."

At Leoni's Quality Painting we are here to provide you with quality & professionalism for all of your painting and staining needs! With over 22 years experience we are extremely meticulous, detail oriented and take pride in our work. Customer satisfaction is very important to us and we won't finish the job until we know the customer is completely happy with the quality of work we've provided. As a painting contractor and small business owner I see many companies cutting corners to maximize their profit, which can be very frustrating and costly for customers in the long run. Whether it's interior/exterior painting or cabinet refinishing, we guarantee the customer will be not just satisfied but impressed with the end result or we'll come back to make it right until we have accomplished our goal.

"Anthony and his team were fantastic. We needed several interior rooms painted, all rooms door trim repaired and painted and some exterior repairs and paint. We were given a very detailed contract with work detail and prices. We had a detailed contract review with Anthony to have our questions answered. The team was very happy to work around our schedule and were very dog friendly with an understanding that we needed to know what to expect and when so we could determine where to position ourselves and our dogs in the house each day. Anthony came by at least once a day and in addition he called or texted at least once a day to give us a status update and check in on our satisfaction and answer any questions. The team was professional, personable, hard working, and outstanding in their work. Every detail was addressed and there were no delays or surprises. We are so pleased with the work done. It was truly a pleasure working with Anthony and his team. We highly recommend them."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Beyond liquid rubber, homeowners can use sealants, stains, membranes, or tapes as waterproofing options. Oil-based or water-based sealants soak into the wood, creating a moisture-resistant barrier. Waterproofing stains—available in transparent, semi-transparent, and solid colors—add both protection and style to your deck. For heavy-duty waterproofing, deck membranes and waterproof tapes can be applied under the deck boards to direct water away from the structure below. Whatever method you choose, clean and prep the deck first to ensure the best, longest-lasting results.

The longevity of paint on wood depends on factors like the quality of the paint, surface preparation, exposure to elements, and maintenance. Exterior paint on wood surfaces can last 5 to 15 years or more with proper care and maintenance. Interior paint tends to have a longer life span, often 10 years or more. Regular cleaning, touch-ups, and addressing any issues like peeling or cracking can extend the life of the paint. 

Many decking oils can help slow down algae growth, but they don't completely stop it. These oils work by sealing the wood, which reduces moisture and, therefore, algae growth. Some decking oils also help protect against UV damage, but they need to be reapplied according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the decking stays protected.

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

Adding a second coat of stain to wood can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.
