"Great work power washing, staining, and leveling our large deck. Melvin came out to give us a decent estimate. Workers worked for 2 days straight on the project and were pleasant and professional. 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 recently hired AllCarePainting for an exterior home painting project, and they exceeded all expectations. The team was professional, punctual, and respectful of my property, ensuring everything stayed clean throughout the job. The quality of their work is outstanding. They used high-quality paints, and the finish is smooth and vibrant. Communication was excellent, with the project manager keeping me informed and answering all my questions. They completed the project on time and within budget, with no surprises. Their attention to detail was impressive, from surface prep to minor repairs, resulting in a flawless finish. I highly recommend them for anyone needing exterior painting. My house looks stunning, and Iâ ve received numerous compliments. Five stars!"

"This company was professional, punctual, experienced, and had competitive pricing.  I contacted 5 local companies who had an A rating through Angie's List and was able to email them right through this site so it made it very easy.  Fresh Coat won the price bid and we were very pleased with their customer service.  Our main contact was Barbara and she was knowledgeable and friendly.  They set up a contract via email, and when I noticed that there were a couple of things missing from the contract that we had discussed, they rewrote it with no issues.  The whole process took a little over a week due to weather delays.  They arrived before 8 am daily and stayed late if they needed to.   Barbara was on site most of the time and was very accessible when she was not there.  They did a great job powerwashing, and like I said, they even washed up the driveway and walkway leading up to the house.   They took one day to power wash, and two to three days to paint the house and trim.  They needed another 2 to 3 days for the deck because they noticed two worn out boards and offered to replace the wood themselves.  That was great for us because we have 2 small kids, so we don't have a lot of time to repair the house ourselves.  They left their materials neatly in our backyard overnight so they could get a quick start daily.  They were so friendly and remembered our names and said hello to us when we would come and go.  They worked very hard and did a great job.  Our house looks 100% better!  Sebastian and Rafael were the main painters on our job and they were a pleasure to work with.  This company treated us like we were their only clients and like they'd known us for years.  They established a contract before any work was done, and divided the payments up into a pre-work deposit and after our final inspection.  They honored the contract and when we hit a couple of snags (replacing the deck boards and our forgetting to include the shutters in the painting request), they amended it and worked with the price increase to help fit our budget.  I would absolutely use this company again because they really take pride in their work and realize how important word-of-mouth recommendations are.  They know how to treat their customers!! Thanks guys!!

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

For the longest-lasting exterior paint, consider acrylic or enamel (oil-based) paints. Acrylic paints, including acrylic latex and acrylic enamel, are known for withstanding harsh weather and sun exposure. Enamel-based paints are also one of the most durable options available. While latex paint is common, it typically has a shorter lifespan than acrylic or oil-based options. The paint's finish also affects its durability; a higher gloss finish is generally more durable. For resistance to moisture and cracking, matte and satin finishes can be effective, while a high-gloss acrylic or oil-based paint offers a combination of maximum longevity and durability.

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

Painted decks typically require a new coat about once every ten years. In between new coats, it's best to maintain your deck by regularly removing debris, washing it down with non-abrasive cleaners, and staying ahead of structural issues, such as loose boards and rotting wood. In some cases, painting a small section of your deck affected by damage or the sun can lower your costs and workload.

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.

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