"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."

"Amazing! Juan’s (Owner) Team of Painter/Workers were so Good & Efficient! All his workers were Respectful, Polite, Kind, Detail Oriented, Happy & hard workers. They finished painting the Exterior of my house in 3 days! And, they even made my front door & door frame look brand new! I had several large nail holes in the door frame & ~2” x 1/2” area, about 1/4” Deep notch. I can’t even tell that anything was wrong with my door frame! I Love my “New House” with its new Paint! They are Excellent Painters/Workers!! Juan, the owner of Pacific Edge Painting is very professional and a Good Painter Contractor to work with. When we met for the estimate, he was very professional, respectful, personable & thorough. He emailed me our contract and kept in touch throughout the whole process of me getting the exterior of my house painted. He’s very dependable, fair & kind. He takes good care of his Workers/Painters. And, I feel that he took good care of me throughout this process. I highly recommend “Pacific Edge Painting”!"

"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

A five-gallon bucket of deck stain will cover roughly 875 square feet in a single coat. Actual coverage will vary based on the type of wood you’re staining and the number of coats. If you plan on doing multiple coats, multiply the square footage by the number of coats to calculate how many buckets of stain you’ll need.

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.

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. 

The best paint for an older deck depends on the material and whether or not your deck already has a coat of paint. Generally, if your deck already has paint on it, you should choose the same type of paint when repainting the deck. For example, if an old deck has oil-based paint on it, stick with oil; if your deck has water-based paint, choose water-based paint. 

Yes, you must thoroughly clean your deck before staining. If you don't, dirt, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped between the wood and the new stain. This not only looks unsightly but also prevents the stain from penetrating the wood properly, reducing its ability to protect the deck from weather and UV rays. As a result, the stain won't last as long or look as good. Any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage. Always wait at least 48 hours after cleaning for the wood to dry completely before applying stain.
