"Luis and his team were great! He responded to my inquiry the same day, had a fair quote that evening and started the next day. Their work was thorough and conscientious. This is family business and each member is polite and very easy to be around. At all times, Luis’s team we’re tidy and respectful. When they were finished, everything was cleaned up extremely well. The quality of the work was very thorough and we are very happy with the outcome. Luis was not satisfied with one wall is returning to add a third coat at no extra charge. He is not just a perfectionist but was also very helpful and deciding on color. Great job! and lovely folks I would highly recommend Pro painting"

"Absolutely Hire Rey! I have owed many homes and have hired many contractors. Rey was outstanding for quality, service and price. We had a very large and difficult project staining beams, trim, windows and doors in addition to ceilings, walls and the exterior. The staining was exceptionally difficult since it was being stained over existing stain. I don't think any other painter would have taken the time to get it right. But Rey and his guys did. I trusted Rey in our house for two months and could not have found a more reliable painter. Please note, we just moved to Beaver Creek and we did not know anyone. And while we had some referrals, it was the reviews on Home Advisor that lead us to select Rey. I will absolutely hire Rey again and absolutely recommend Rey. Tom B Beaver Creek, CO"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Staining a deck is typically less expensive upfront than painting. The cost to stain a deck professionally averages around $850, with most homeowners paying between $550 and $1,250, depending on the deck's size. A DIY staining project can cost less than $100. The cost to paint a deck ranges from $500 to $2,000. While the initial cost of staining is lower, it's important to consider long-term expenses. Paint can last up to 10 years, whereas stain needs to be reapplied every few years, which could lead to higher costs over time.

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.

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.

You can use latex or acrylic paint outdoors. Although acrylic paint tends to last longer outside, it also costs more, so if you’re painting the outside of your house, for instance, latex paint is often a go-to option. However, acrylic will be your best choice if you want to spend some extra money for added durability.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.
