"Brett took the time to really inspect our stucco house in Pleasanton and pointed out some fascia which needed to be repaired, along with some damage to the back of the house which I hadn't noticed. Neither of the other painters I called were so detailed in their inspections nor in their estimates. Brett and his helper were polite and hardworking. We were quite pleased with the job and would recommend Brett's Painting highly."

"The finished product looks great! There were some hard feelings when the project neared completion because of some carelessness with knocking over a floor speaker and a long scratch on our dining room table that was never taken care of. Other than that the paint job is really very good!"

"Extremely satisfied with the work by All Cote painting. They are very detailed in their work and have very high standards for the final product. They are also very good with paint colors and spent extra time with me to get the color right for a difficult color match. They went the extra mile to make sure I was completely satisfied with their work. They painted the outside of my home and also some rooms inside. The walls inside required texturing and their work was meticulous. Best of all, they are trustworthy and nice guys to work with. I highly recommend this company."

"We hired Juan and his crew to re-stain our kitchen and stair rails. Juan was very quick to respond to our quote and was able to accommodate us before the holidays. He was upfront with expectations and explained the staining process. I was very nervous about the change in color but Juan was able to put my nerves at ease and provided me different stain samples. His crew was very professional and hardworking. Juan was always in communication with me and took care of any concerns that may have come up. We felt that our satisfaction was a top priority for him. We loved the finished product and our house looks beautiful. Then the kitchen is beautiful and the stair rails make the whole house brighter. We are so happy we chose to work with him. I would highly recommend hiring Juan for your painting project needs."

"Jeff and his crew were professional, prompt, did an excellent job of prepping our deck that was in bad shape, and painting the deck, posts and railings and making it look beautiful again. They cleaned everything up and helped put things back together again for us. We highly recommend Jeff and his very nice and efficient crew."

"I was very impressed from the start to the finish of the exterior painting of my home. Laura and Mike were very thorough and provided detailed information of the process as well as very fair pricing. Mike and Walter were always on time and completed the work in a neat and orderly fashion. I was very impressed as well as my neighbors with the outcome and I would highly recommend this company to anyone who wants to work with quality people who possess high standards of work and work ethics.

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

DIY is possible but presents risks of uneven surfaces or improper adhesion; professionals offer expertise to ensure a lasting finish.

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.

Yes, pressure-treated wood can occasionally turn green due to certain preservatives, such as copper-based chemicals, used during the treatment process. These chemicals react with the wood, creating a greenish tint. The good news? It's temporary, and the color will fade over time. Staining or painting can also help hide any unwanted hues.

Yes, it is generally a very good idea to seal your deck after pressure washing. Power washing removes not only dirt and debris but also a thin layer of wood, leaving the surface exposed and more susceptible to weathering. Sealing is almost always needed after this process. After a general cleaning, sealing isn't automatically necessary if the existing sealant is still intact. You can test the surface by placing a few drops of water on it. If the water beads up, the sealant is working. If it soaks into the wood, it's time to apply a new sealant. If it has been a few years, it's wise to remove the old sealant, wash the deck, and reseal for maximum protection.
