Customers say: True professional

"We've had several different companies over the years refinishing our deck, H & M is by far the best overall in all areas of service. Quality of communication, clarity of bidding a job, scheduling, implementing and taking care of our property. The finished product is wonderful, our deck looks amazing and so proud of how it looks as it will be going on the market shortly. Marco worked closely with us for timing, which is critical in our case, and flexibility."

"They did all of the above and more. Several pieces of rotted wood were removed, replaced, and painted. A hinge on my gate needed fixing and they fixed that as well. After starting the project, we realized that the small upper deck had not been included in the bid but they did the deck as well. Also, in order to get the black stain off of the deck, they sanded the deck as well as power washing it. I was in my house most of the time they worked on my house and I have never seen a harder working crew. I would never hire anyone else to paint my house (inside or out) other than these guys unless, of course, I had to move out-of-state. The are an extraordinary group that went above and beyond just painting my house and taking care of my deck."

"From start to finish, Foothills Painting did a great job. Tara started off by setting up the estimate. Wes did the estimate on a chilly and rainy day but took his time and was very helpful. The project manager, Paul, was very helpful and answered my questions throughly. Rachel helped verify my color selection, and Adam and Ed did a great job staining the fence. They were courteous, careful and considerate. I would definitely recommend them and will use them again. Thank you, Foothills Painting, for making this a very good experience."

"Corey and John did a great job painting my living room, including a vaulted ceiling. Before I found them I had a lot of trouble finding a company, as the big guys didn't want to touch it and some of the other smaller outfits didn't want to deal with the high ceiling. There were even a number of companies that didn't call me back. So if you have a project with some unique challenges or are having trouble finding a reliable painting company, give NoCo Pro Line a call. As for the painting itself, besides it looking great I want to point out a few things. The first is that they were very accommodating of my preferences and would make sure to ask before doing ("Do we paint the closet?", "Where do we tie off to the next room?", and so on). The second is that where there were problem areas (e.g. cracks, stains, etc.), they didn't just gloss over them but made sure to treat each one as necessary to give a nice final product. Lastly, they're willing to move furniture around and cover everything themselves. That takes a lot of burden off you as the homeowner (just be a good citizen and do what you can to prepare). Since I had so much trouble even getting a quote from other companies, I can't really compare value. What I can say is that originally I just intended the ceiling to be painted, but when I saw the price was reasonable I requested the whole room. TL;DR They crushed it."

"This was a major project to paint our entire stucco house. We needed to have roof, deck and stucco repairs done before the painting. These prior projects took longer than anticipated. Vivax worked with us to change the schedule several times as the scope of the earlier projects became more clear. They were patient and professional throughout."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

Constant exposure to inclement weather conditions can damage your deck, causing it to fade, warp, or crack over time. Regular maintenance keeps it looking and performing its best. That means giving it a good cleaning and applying a quality sealant or wood treatment to help defend against moisture, sun damage, and everyday wear.

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.

You should refinish your deck to maintain its appearance, durability, and longevity. Refinishing your deck protects the wood from foot traffic and the elements. It also helps extend its life span by keeping rot, mildew, and termites at bay. By maintaining your deck, you can avoid the cost of replacing your deck sooner. A refinished deck also looks great and restores some of its original beauty.

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.
