"Joe's crew did an amazing job painting the interior of our home. It was a big project that required lots of attention to detail- I am a very picky person when it comes to quality and detail. An excellent paint job requires lots of preparation and Joe's team delivered. We highly recommend Element Painting."

"K-CO exceeded my expectations. They were clear on the bid/work to replace old underlayment, as well as the price. The tiles on this two story home are 24 years old and they managed to replace damaged tiles with a reasonable match after they put the new double layer underlayment on. I also asked for the back patio roof, which is flat, to get completely redone and re-trimmed with new wood. The top and sides look brand new! In short— honest, on budget, quality work, tidy crew, done in time frame expected. Would highly recommend."

"The paint on the outside of our mobile home at Windward Village was professional, detailed, and thorough. But it didn’t stop there. Jose Segura also looked for and addressed special concerns I had beyond washing, priming and painting, such as leakage into the electrical box. I would describe his work and that of his helpers as superior, while keeping costs down."

The team members are professional, polite, and pay attention to the details. They also completed the job in a timely manner. Great job done!"

"I’m so happy I found James and his company on Home Advisor. James was great! Toured the project, gave me a quote onsite. I called him that afternoon to accept his quote and the job was DONE in faster time than I had ever believed could have happened! His crew was professional and very caring of my house and my property! Even covered my neighbors pool and deck with plastic so there wouldn’t be any over spray. I highly recommend!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Eggshell and satin finishes are best for porches because they sit in the sweet spot between scuffable matte and distracting high gloss. Your porch sees a fair amount of wear and tear, so you don’t want paint that’ll show every mark like matte, but you don’t want to be blinded by glossy paint in the sun either. Eggshell and satin have durability and a look that sits nicely in the middle.

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.

The best time to paint your deck is when temperatures are neither too cold (below 60 degrees) nor too hot (above 85 degrees). Always paint your deck when there’s no risk of rain. For fast-drying paint like acrylic or latex, ensure your deck can dry for at least four hours. Oil-based paints take longer to dry and may require 48 hours to completely cure.

Deciding whether to stain or paint a pool deck depends on your budget, desired look, and the deck's material. Both options can work. Paint offers a wider variety of color options, provides excellent water resistance, and can last longer. However, it requires a primer and can eventually fade or peel. Stain is often cheaper, easier to apply, and penetrates the wood for a more natural look and longer-lasting finish. It also has great water resistance. The downsides are fewer color options and the need for a sealant. The choice can also depend on the deck material; for example, staining may be a better option for concrete as it bonds well and lasts longer than paint.

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.
