"Cal Preserving did a great job on our very difficult to install Ipe (Brazilian Walnut) deck. I would definitely use them again."

"These guys were great! We moved into a house and needed help understanding why our landscaping quickly started dying. Landscaping Bay Area carefully diagnosed and quickly fixed the issues, thoughtfully taught us about our system, and added lines to automate our yard care. Would absolutely recommend and use them again!"

"There is always a sense of uneasiness and dread when encountering a task such as this. I mean to paint the exterior of a two story home in San Francisco? What about the cost? The time? You can bet there was a high level of anxiety while searching for prospective painting companies. However, Omar and his son Junior completed the project without any setbacks. The quote provided was quite a surprise in comparison to the others we received. Omar and Junior could not have been nicer and the job was done within the stated time frame. In addition, on very short notice, Junior was able to sand and stain our back porch/stairs and did a terrific job. We are very happy with the finished product and would highly recommend Indigo Painting."

"We requested an estimate to paint the exterior of our house and stain our deck. Our split level house was very challenging with wood and composite siding, four dormers, and three chimneys. Our roof was ceramic tile and quite pitched. After three different estimates, we chose Wise Painting who completed the job to our complete satisfaction. Henruy oversaw his paint crew to make sure the job was done without any problems and often joined in doing the work . We highly recommend their quality work."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, it's a good idea to sand the wall with fine-grit sandpaper after spackling, especially if you plan on painting. You can do this by hand or using a sander, but the idea is to ensure the spackle is flush with the wall. Sanding will give your wall a smooth, uniform finish and help your paint and wallpaper stay put.

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

Hot, intense sunshine can cause your stain to dry too quickly, which could lead it to look uneven or patchy. If you’re staining the deck during hotter months, it’s best to do it in the morning or evening once the wood has had time to cool down. If you’re staining in cooler weather with less sunshine, the time of day won’t make as much of a difference.

You can refresh a painted deck by either giving it a thorough cleaning or refinishing the deck altogether. Chipped or faded paint, as well as extensive damage, often calls for a new finish. To do this, remove the original coat of paint with a sander and add either a new coat of paint or a stain to protect the wood below.

You can paint over old paint on a concrete porch. For the best results, you should first clean the surface and remove as much paint as you can. A power washer is helpful here, but you’ll also want to scrape as much of the old paint away as possible. Then you should prime the porch before repainting it.
