"We hired James to paint the entire interior of our home (walls, ceilings, trim, etc), as well as caulk all the new molding throughout the house, and paint all the doors - interior and exterior - and stain our front door. He did an excellent job. He worked clean and efficiently, and was able to get the job done in a good amount of time. The entire job took about 10 days. He was honest and accommodating to any changes, and when we asked about doing some jobs, he was honest and advised on how it may look (perhaps not as good as I���d want it to look) and what would be required, (even if it meant that he was talking himself out of work!) which I appreciated. He was professional and very responsive to my emails, texts, and calls. I would highly recommend his company and services to anyone who is looking for a great painter. Had a really wonderful experience and will use him for all our painting needs moving forward!"

"Working with Brenda and George was very smooth- from the estimate all the way to the finished project. We had our wood deck and side landing power washed, sanded, and stained all within a day. They even came out a few days later to touch up some concern spots that I had. Brenda was more than accommodating throughout the scheduling process and keeping me informed about when they would be coming. Definitely going to be using them again for other projects!"

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

It’s a good idea to sand your porch before painting. This will remove loose or chipped paint and debris, and give you a cleaner surface so that your new paint goes on smoothly. But if the existing surface is in good condition, it’s not necessary to sand your porch before you paint.

If you have wood decking, there are several common deck problems that you might encounter. For example, your natural wood boards may fade over time due to things like sunlight, weather, and debris. On top of that, some types of wood decking can rot, grow mold, and attract destructive pests—including termites, carpenter ants, and woodpeckers.

Opt for an interior wood stain that is rated for your type of wood. Consider your personal style preferences as well as the overall use of the room when choosing a color. Remember, the color you see at the store may look different on your actual floors once applied. This is why if you have the chance, it’s helpful to test a few options on a scrap piece of wood in the room first. Once you narrow it down, you can test a small patch on an inconspicuous area in the room to see it on the actual floors.

When applying multiple coats, wait four to six hours for each coat to dry. Not waiting long enough can result in streaks, peeling, and uneven color. Plus, it will be more difficult to discern where the second coat has already been applied.

Yes, staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan, typically by five to 10 years. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and rot over time. Applying a treatment creates a protective shield that helps prevent splintering, fading, and decay, preserving the wood's strength and appearance. A combination stain and sealer often provides the best protection, as it soaks into the wood grain rather than just sitting on top. This offers superior defense against UV damage and rot and lasts longer than a sealer alone. To maintain the wood's natural look, consider using a near-translucent stain. You should plan to reapply the stain or sealer every two to three years.
