Customer service kept up to date on the project and was also very pleasant and professional. I now have a beautiful deck. Would hire again without a doubt!"

"I was very happy with Vasyl and his team. They replaced the decking boards and railings on both of my decks. Work performed was of high quality and attention to detail was very evident. Communication with Vasyl was also very good, he contacted me whenever there was a question regarding stylistic change options. I would definitely recommend them for a future project."

"Pro Painters began by power washing my house and then painting the entire house (wood shingles) and trim. In addition I had them paint the deck and several trellises that were against the house. They even stained some additional shingles for me in case I had to replace any in the future, they'd be ready to go. They also used Woodscape stain/paint which i requested and did not charge anything extra. 

They did a fantastic job on the interiors of my 3-bedroom house. They painted the walls and woodwork and I added on cellar stairs, basement wall and pantry after they'd started. They had a res there working for several days until it was finished. I was very pleased with the results.

"Leandro and his crew were a delight to work with. The 2 guys who came to my home each day to paint the exterior were polite, and respectful. They moved my deck furniture and replaced it when the job was done!! Actually, Tito arranged it better than I had it originally ð They cleaned up each day. I would highly recommend them."

Customers say: Super punctual

"This is the best painting experience I ever had. The young men worked hard, worked well together, were very professional, organized, and neat. Mr. Ambrocio paid attention to detail, did not cut corners or miss spots. He used good quality caulking, and Benjamin Moore paints."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

It is not always necessary to remove old stain before restaining a deck. If the previous stain is in good condition and is compatible with the new stain, you may be able to apply a new coat after thorough cleaning. However, if the old stain is in bad condition, flaking, or peeling, it is best to remove it completely to ensure an even surface and proper adhesion for the new coat. Staining over a damaged layer can lead to an uneven finish and poor penetration. For best results, test a small area first and consult the stain manufacturer's guidelines.

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.

Aftercare includes routine cleaning, checking for water repellency, and promptly addressing any chips or peels, maintaining the deck's appearance and functionality.

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.

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.
