"We are very grateful that we hired Leoni Painting. Our old house had cracked siding in several areas and Anthony worked with our budget to repair what he could and replace what was too damaged. This included locating a vendor that still had access to the out-dated sized siding. He inspected the siding delivered and sent back what was not of good quality. He also worked with our schedule, because we were going out of town. He has also been very willing to do some touch up work. He also provided us with options in selecting the stain for the house and decks. Highly recommend."

"Francisco and crew are really great guys ! They were very professional and got my house painted in record time ! They did a great job from start to finish. I have an old house 1907, and they took great care in masking off the trim, stained glass windows,etc. They were very pleasant while they were working. The price was very fair and the work is outstanding !"

"Steve is very easy to communicate with, and was responsive to any concerns I had. He has a broad range of knowledge in home construction and maintenance, and graciously helped me out with a couple issues I had. The exterior house painting job and deck staining that I hired him for turned out great - and was reasonably priced. I highly recommend him. He's a pro, and a good guy."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

Painting a damaged pool deck is not recommended if the substrate is crumbling, cracking, spalling, or otherwise actively deteriorating. Continuing deterioration will result in the paint also delaminating or flaking off the damaged surface. Minor damage such as chips or hairline cracks that are not actively deteriorating can often be repaired enough to paint over. A damaged pool deck with a lot of cracking and deterioration should be replaced for best results.

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

Opt for an interior wood stain that is rated for your type of wood. Consider your personal style preferences as well as the overall use of the room when choosing a color. Remember, the color you see at the store may look different on your actual floors once applied. This is why if you have the chance, it’s helpful to test a few options on a scrap piece of wood in the room first. Once you narrow it down, you can test a small patch on an inconspicuous area in the room to see it on the actual floors.

A properly applied coat of stain will last between 3 and 8 years, depending on your climate. If you live in a place where your fence experiences a lot of moisture or high heat, your stain will last for a shorter period than in more temperate conditions. We recommend reapplying stain every 3 to 5 years to keep your wood in good condition.
