"H&M did a superior job on all of the interior paint on our new home. They came in the day after closing and worked to get the job done even during the holidays and all for a very fair price! I canâ t say enough about the results, willingness to work around our schedules (we were coordinating multiple services at the same time so that we were ready on move in day), and the awesome customer service! Thanks you guys - we will see you this spring for exterior paint ð ð »ð !"

"We chose Painting Plus over 3 other companies that we obtained quotes from. Not only was the quote reasonable, but the timing, the professionalism, the package deals of services offered was what made us decide on hiring Painting Plus. The two/three people crew that did our massive garage work was so impressive. Derrick, the rep that came out to quote us was so so kind. The crew member that did the work was also just as kind. I cannot thank them enough for their hard work and dedication. Thank you! Highly recommend!"

"My deck was a total disaster and needed to be rescued. After Adam was done with his total makeover, I was blown away. The paint job that he did was impeccable. My deck looks new, larger and beautiful. From start to finish, I was extremely satisfied with the entire process. Kyle helped with the selection of paint and paint color that was necessary and appropriate to repair my deck. His scheduling was timely and his choice of Adam to get the job done was really commendable. Adam completed his work on schedule and was able to paint areas of my deck which I considered unreachable. What a treat it was to come home and see my finished deck totally made over. I am extremely happy with the finished product and would not hesitate to recommend Adam in the future."

"Paint Pals did an excellent job painting my house. My only issue is it took awhile to get there. Original crew that was sent to the house did a very rushed/sloppy job, even after returning the second time to repaint half the house it still looked pretty bad, painters stated that was the best they could do. After posting negative feedback online management became aware of the situation and acted quickly to remedy the issues. A more experienced crew came out and did an excellent job and now the house looks great."

"Our experience with NoCo Proline was great start to finish! When purchasing our house, we didn t realize just how little maintenance the previous owners did on the deck. Corey and his team completed an amazing job for an affordable price. I would recommend NoCo Proline to anyone!"

"We needed a couple small jobs for painting and Tony was able to help us. He painted a hallway that had some serious chipping paint and painted our kitchen ceiling and walls. His quality of work was outstanding and price was just right. I would highly recommend Tony."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

Adding a second coat of stain to wood can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.

A five-gallon bucket of deck stain will cover roughly 875 square feet in a single coat. Actual coverage will vary based on the type of wood you’re staining and the number of coats. If you plan on doing multiple coats, multiply the square footage by the number of coats to calculate how many buckets of stain you’ll need.

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.

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.
