"Very Happy with the painting of our exterior home and deck. Clei and his crew did a wonderful job and the customer service was also great. He responded promptly to our concerns and questions and even came back to do touch ups and minor things we had concerns about. We shopped around for pricing and Gonti was most reasonable for our budget. Glad we made the right choice! We would definitely recommend this company and would also use them again for future use."

"My 1995 oak cabinets were painted white and the doors and drawer faces were replaced and then painted. They look beautiful! I also had a custom cabinet built along with a kitchen island. The craftsmanship is on point! My kitchen transformation looks amazing. I would definitely recommend Palette Pro!"

"We had our exterior of our house painted and the deck stained. Jay took the time to explain the whole process and answered all of our questions (and we had a lot of questions!). The detailed quote outlining all of the work to be done was excellent and helped us understand what exactly was going to be done. It is clear he takes pride in the work that he and his teams do. There was open communication throughout the process and the job was very well done. Jay, Jose, and the crew were professional and the results of the job clearly demonstrates that."

"When flooring our basement Eddy noticed some nice oak wood under the stair carpet and instead of covering it as planned, he waited to show me and suggest we stain it. It turned out much nicer than we originally planned!"

"Pablo and the staff from PB Paining were all you could ask for from a painting service. From the first visit when he gave us an estimate and advice on a color (which we absolutely love), to the final cleanup, his service was first rate. We are so happy with the job he did, we had him give us a quote for two other rooms. We would recommend Pablo to anyone who needs a professional job at a very competitive price"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

It’s best to use an exterior latex acrylic paint to promote maximum adhesion to composite decking. This flexible paint type can better cope with the natural expansion and contraction that can occur with composite deck boards. Oil-based paints won’t adhere as effectively and are more likely to crack and peel as the boards flex. Testing whether your chosen paint will stick on an inconspicuous section or a spare board is a good idea.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.

Provided conditions are ideal, staining an entire deck should take as little as a couple of hours and up to a couple of days to apply and cure. Additional procedures, like sealing a deck or using additional treatments, may extend the project by a few additional days.

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.
