"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."

"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!"

"I can't say enough about PB Painting. Service was timely and was done with an attention to detail. Very fair prices. The workers did an excellent job on our drywall project and left the work area clean each day. We were so pleased that after the completion of the original project we had them paint our family room. It too turned out beautifully. Thanks for doing an excellent job for us, we'll definitely be calling you for our next project and referring you to friends !"

"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."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

The staining or painting process involves cleaning the deck, sanding surfaces, applying a primer (if needed), and carefully applying stain or paint for an even, lasting finish.

Satin paint is generally considered a better choice for woodwork—including trim, baseboards, cabinets, and doors—than flatter finishes like eggshell or matte. Its soft sheen enhances architectural details and stands up well to frequent cleaning and daily wear. Compared to eggshell and matte finishes, satin is more durable for high-touch areas because it is less porous and doesn't absorb dirt as easily. Matte finishes, in particular, are prone to scuffs and are harder to clean, making them less practical for surfaces like doors and cabinets.

Various kinds of substances and deck preservatives act as protective coatings for wood to prevent rot, which is caused by water getting into the wood and creating cracks and splits. Stains, paints, and sealants are the three best options to protect your wood, but there are also oils, varnishes, and waxes available. You’ll need to reapply sealant at least once per year, and you should inspect your wood deck regularly to look for signs of damage or general wear and tear.

When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.
