"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!"

Deck Staining questions, 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.

Adding a second coat of stain to wood can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.

Hiring a contractor or professional deck refinisher is the best way to ensure your deck is properly stained. They have the expertise, tools, and supplies to do the job quickly and efficiently. However, staining a deck is a manageable task for most homeowners, and doing the job yourself can save money. Just keep in mind that DIY staining is a long process requiring physical strain, so it may not be the best option for everyone.

Yes, pressure-treated wood can occasionally turn green due to certain preservatives, such as copper-based chemicals, used during the treatment process. These chemicals react with the wood, creating a greenish tint. The good news? It's temporary, and the color will fade over time. Staining or painting can also help hide any unwanted hues.

A wood deck requires annual cleaning and regular inspections for loose or broken boards, nails, and screws. It should be refinished by applying a stain or sealer every two to three years to protect the wood from water damage, rot, mildew, and sun fading. The exact frequency can depend on the climate and the deck's exposure to sun and moisture. If your deck is painted, it will need repainting approximately every 10 years. Signs that your deck needs refinishing include faded, splintering, or warping boards.
