"We live in a multi-level townhome with an open concept so color choice is important and Rafael, the VP was very responsive and helpful when we needed a paint job (after our kitchen renovation) that extended to our dining room and second level stairway wall. The painters did a great job and were very attentive to detail and cleanup. When I noticed that the refinished floor in the dining area did not seem to have as smooth a coat of satin-finish sealer as expected, I called for a follow-up and could not have been more pleased with the level of customer service. The team came back very quickly to check the sanding and add an additional coat. We thought their pricing was reasonable for the quality of both services, having been quoted at a much higher price with another contractor."

"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."

"From the time I met Sheki, I felt really comfortable hiring J & S Painting to do the work we needed around the house. We have now used them twice in the past year for two large painting projects at our house. Sheki's prices were competitive compared to all the other quotes I got. If I had any questions while the work was going on, Sheki and Pam, the office manager, would respond quickly. I initially hired J&S in Fall of 2019 to paint my basement, sand and paint all the wooden siding and trim on the exterior of my house, paint the window shutters, power wash the exterior of my house, and stain my deck. Jose and the crew did an amazing job over multiple days completing all the work and cleaning up all the materials. I ended up expanding the scope of the project and also had Jose replace the top railings on my deck, which they did for a very fair price. When I also asked Sheki if they could also paint the metal railings on my front steps, he didn't even charge me extra for it. A few months after the initial project was complete, we decided to paint the majority of the interior of the house this summer (July 2020). We went back to Sheki and J & S Painting. They painted the walls, ceilings, trim, and doors in multiple rooms (including a room with cathedral ceilings) with two coats in two days. I also had them paint the risers, stringers, and baluster on our stairs. Work also included painting a portion of the aluminum siding on the side of the house. The crew was quick, efficient, precise, and did excellent work. I will hire J & S Painting again the next time we have a painting project."

"We hired Edge Painting to paint the entire exterior and half the interior of our home, and to repair and repaint a sheetrock ceiling that had suffered water damage. William and his team worked carefully, efficiently and fast. Highest recommendation."

"Leandro and his crew did a great job staining my house and painting the trim. The crew showed up when they said they would and came everyday (weather permitting) until the job was finished. His price was very fair for the work performed. Most importantly, Leandro returned all my emails within minutes. Highly recommend.."

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

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.

No, it is not okay to paint over rotted wood. Painting over rotted wood will not address the underlying issue and can trap moisture, leading to further decay. Properly addressing the rotted wood by removing and replacing or repairing the damaged areas is necessary before you can even consider painting.

Many decking oils can help slow down algae growth, but they don't completely stop it. These oils work by sealing the wood, which reduces moisture and, therefore, algae growth. Some decking oils also help protect against UV damage, but they need to be reapplied according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the decking stays protected.

To make sure the paint won’t bubble as you apply it, make sure to paint on a day that’s cooler than 85 degrees Fahrenheit. When the temperature is too high, the paint won’t dry evenly, which can result in bubbles forming on the surface. Another way to prevent paint from bubbling is to clean the walls, apply primer, and let everything dry completely before you begin.

Constant exposure to inclement weather conditions can damage your deck, causing it to fade, warp, or crack over time. Regular maintenance keeps it looking and performing its best. That means giving it a good cleaning and applying a quality sealant or wood treatment to help defend against moisture, sun damage, and everyday wear.
