"Floyd and crew were excellent. Gave quote on a Wednesday and was here the following Monday. Others quoted lead times of three weeks to two months. Was a small job, one exterior wall, but they gave it their entire attention, Scraping took far longer than anticipated but there was no complaint. Paint match to existing was perfect. Will not hesitate to call again."

"I can't say enough about the job that Jacob and his team did on my interior house painting project. Initially, I scheduled five estimates. (3) through Angie's list and (2) through HA, and I ended up receiving six quotes. Pro Painters may not have been the lowest but was within the ballpark and, more importantly, took the time to point out areas that needed repair, made suggestions, and, more importantly, listened to my needs. Jacob and his team were punctual, painted the rooms, ceilings, and made the repairs as promised. The price quoted was the price paid upon completion Jacob was the only contractor to follow-up on his quote. I ended up selecting Pro-Painter over another contractor that was highly recommended by an excellent friend. I was concerned, but those concerns and my gut feeling dissipated after day one. My original quote was for three bedrooms and a hallway. Pro-Painter painted the entire interior of my house within the promised time, cleaned up every day, and made sure to show me the finished work each day. Pro Painters exceeded expectations. I will be hiring then again to complete the exterior of the house. Thank you Jacob for your professionalism, attention to detail and exceeding our expectations."

"Dani and his team are fantastic. I had them paint 3 rooms and a hallway. During the quote phase Dani was able to give me advice when I was unsure and I was very happy with how it worked out. Additionally during the painting process he made sure to keep me up to date on where they were. 2 colors needed a 3rd coat and he was upfront about cost. When he took me to see the final product I was blown away by their hard work and cleanliness. I would hire them again!"

"Hernan was a pleasure to deal with. He was reliable and efficient. He did general deck cleanup, power wash, and bulky junk removal. He promised the deck would look like new—and it did. I highly recommend."

"I have a large deck with a grape vine top. It was in dire need of repairs(washing, sanding, replacing rotted wood, staining) I called J. Corrigan from Angie's list. He arrived estimated and I contracted with him. His team arrived and an excellent job was performed in the amount of time given. I will be calling them again for other projects. "Thanks Joe and team for a job well done.""

"Very professional and honest. Bartek took his time to go through all my options, very knowledgeable and patient. He gave me a fair estimate and kept his price without any “additional cost.” He did a beautiful job repainting my apartment. Detail oriented and very clean. I’m definitely using his services again."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Deciding whether to stain or paint a pool deck depends on your budget, desired look, and the deck's material. Both options can work. Paint offers a wider variety of color options, provides excellent water resistance, and can last longer. However, it requires a primer and can eventually fade or peel. Stain is often cheaper, easier to apply, and penetrates the wood for a more natural look and longer-lasting finish. It also has great water resistance. The downsides are fewer color options and the need for a sealant. The choice can also depend on the deck material; for example, staining may be a better option for concrete as it bonds well and lasts longer than paint.

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.

While the answer varies based on weather, 10 a.m. is a good time to start painting. The dew will have dried, meaning there’s no moisture on the house, and the temperature will likely be moderate and the sunlight less direct. Starting mid-morning should also give you enough daylight and pleasant weather to work on the job for several hours.

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.

If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood’s grain for best results.
