"Xander's Coats Specialist just completed painting our ranch house. We had recently purchased the property and the exterior was in dire need of painting. The location is in a remote part northern Santa Barbara County and we put a request out on Angi's List since there are no paint contractor's in our immediate area. Erick reached out to me from the request on Angi's and traveled out to give us a quote. He quoted us a very fair price and we gave him the job. Erick and his team were incredibly professional and clean and their workmanship is stellar. Everything is done the right way, from prep to paint. You can tell they take great pride in their work and making their customers happy. We're extremely happy with their work and will be calling on them again for our next project."

"Brent and Ron showed up the morning (Monday) they promised and started the preparation work.  Unfortunately, I forgot to move a number of items (doll house, furniture, odds and ends) from the side of the house, but they went ahead and moved everything without saying a word.  During the next 10 days they didn't ask for anything, except for some ice water in the afternoons.  After each days work,  they cleaned up and placed all of their materials out of the way.  They worked until approximately 4pm on the final day (Friday), and then Brent asked me to come out to make sure I was satisfied with their work.  I was more than satisfied,  and told him so."

"Great experience. Soto painting was very thoughtful and communicative. Soto painting strives for excellence and wants to make sure they do an excellent job. Helped out with all the details of the exterior painting including helping with rotten wood and gutter problems. The paint job was amazing and already have received a lot of compliments. I am so happy with the work and great full that I was able to connect and hire Soto Painting Co."

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.

It’s necessary for paint to completely dry before exposure to rain, and that drying time varies by the type of paint used. Oil-based paint takes 6 to 8 hours to dry on average, meaning that’s the minimum time needed between the last brush stroke and the first raindrop. Latex paint dries faster at around 1 hour, and acrylic paint is even quicker, usually drying in about 30 minutes. If rain is in the forecast, check the paint manufacturer's details before laying on a new coat. 

Painted decks typically require a new coat about once every ten years. In between new coats, it's best to maintain your deck by regularly removing debris, washing it down with non-abrasive cleaners, and staying ahead of structural issues, such as loose boards and rotting wood. In some cases, painting a small section of your deck affected by damage or the sun can lower your costs and workload.

It’s best to use an exterior latex acrylic paint to promote maximum adhesion to composite decking. This flexible paint type can better cope with the natural expansion and contraction that can occur with composite deck boards. Oil-based paints won’t adhere as effectively and are more likely to crack and peel as the boards flex. Testing whether your chosen paint will stick on an inconspicuous section or a spare board is a good idea.

Satin paint is generally considered a better choice for woodwork—including trim, baseboards, cabinets, and doors—than flatter finishes like eggshell or matte. Its soft sheen enhances architectural details and stands up well to frequent cleaning and daily wear. Compared to eggshell and matte finishes, satin is more durable for high-touch areas because it is less porous and doesn't absorb dirt as easily. Matte finishes, in particular, are prone to scuffs and are harder to clean, making them less practical for surfaces like doors and cabinets.
