"The experience with H&S painting was smooth. The crew showed up when Humberto scheduled and worked efficiently, quickly to complete the staining and paint job on the house prior to the targeted end date. Colors and staining came out just as expected. The crew was clean and courteous in the day to day interactions. Crew also identified a previous unknown issue with the fascia connection to power on the house so that was much appreciated. Very professional team. I highly recommend H&S painting to anyone considering painting and staining their house."

"John Avila is a great guy to work with. We needed major work done on our two story house that included removal of old rain gutters, an old fire place chimney that is never used, damaged siding, damaged fascia board, old window trim and much more that hadn?t been touched in over 25 years. The house, including the steel roof was then pressured washed, caulked, primed and re-painted with top end Dunn Edward paint. Many other fine details were taken care of as well. The list goes on and on. It took well over a month to get all the work done. I am a retired building contractor too old to do this work but John and his crew were here to do the job. His prices aren?t cheap or over the top but reasonable with a little negotiating. I know that John is very busy and sometimes forgets to get back to your questions but I am a little concerned that he didn?t follow through with my request for getting an estimate for new flooring throughout or house."

"I have used people to help me with different projects on my different homes throughout the years and l must say I was totally amazed.I,m very happy with Bethlehem's work ethics ,workmanship as well as his personally he did a wonderful job and he listened to what l wanted. This table is very old and actually came apart in his hands l watched him put it back together and attached it to the wall. He knew exactly what needed to be done and did it. I'm very happy and will definitely used him again in my future projects. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to express my appreciation."

"The exterior stain on my house, porch, and entryways turned out amazing. The color is rich, the finish is clean, and it brought out the natural beauty of the wood. They even went above and beyond and patched holes and cracks that I didn’t see at first. Sorry baby Great attention to detail and quality from start to finish. Juan was very great at communicating and the price was unbeatable.Highly recommend!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Rags used with oil-based stains are highly flammable and can spontaneously combust in the right conditions. To reduce the fire risk, throw them in a metal container after use and add rocks on top to secure them. Add an inch of water and seal the container. Take the rags in the container to a hazardous waste factory as soon as possible.

It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the deck refinishing process. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.

The need for a topcoat on a painted deck depends on various factors, primarily the type of paint used and your desired level of protection. Many premium deck paint formulations are self-sealing, eliminating the necessity for an additional topcoat. These paints often have built-in additives that substantially protect against moisture, UV rays, and everyday wear and tear.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.
