"I cannot recommend Palette Pro enough! From start to finish they were professional, on time, thorough and extremely neat and clean. William was the project manager and he handled the entire job seamlessly. This was our first time painting the exterior of our home and they could not have done a better job! The painters were amazing. They did the absolute best job and even fixed a prior job's mistakes that we had. I love the fact that they have many people at their finger tips depending on what you need. When we needed to fix some masonry work, they immediately had someone come to my home to take care of the job. We are beyond happy with the way the paint job turned out and would highly recommend Palette Pro and William to handle any of your renovations or house updates."

"Clei was wonderful to work with. He kept me updated constantly and was very responsive to all my requests…he even suggested the perfect color for my shutters after the samples I chose didn’t work out! He also repaired and painted my old deck, which everyone else said couldn’t be done, making it look like new. He did a beautiful job on both my house and my deck, and I highly recommend him. I will definitely use him for any future painting jobs."

"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."

"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"

"The work went exceptionally well. The work was professionally done and completed within the original estimates for time, cost and schedule. The work included repairing of plaster, painting of walls, floors and ceilings. Also a problem with existing shingles on the roof was repaired. Several good suggestions were made and used as to the materials to be used and how to best perform the work."

"We were looking for a company to paint the exterior of our two-story colonial house (wood) and an attached deck. This entailed multiple small repairs along the way as the house was last painted at least 15 years ago. Weslyn presented the most reasonable bid out of the 7 we received. We took our time to decide and were impressed that Weslyn took the time to call us to see if we had any questions about his bid. The A2Z team came every day on time and worked with care and meticulousness. Despite a spate of rainy days, the team still finished the job only 2-3 days after the estimated last day of work. It was all worth the wait. The A2Z team listened carefully to what we wanted for our home and the result was more than we could have hoped for, The house was transformed so much that when I sent a picture to a friend, he asked what our new address was. Excellent work-- We would hire A2Z again for another big job in the future and highly recommend them to anyone who expects excellence and value."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

Always wait until the morning dew has dried before you stain your deck. The stain needs a fully dry surface to sink into.

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.

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.

Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint.
