"No cheap, but extremely thorough in cleaning and preparing our deck for staining. Because of the weather we are only half way through the job, but we are very impressed."

"I can't say enough about the job that Jacob and his team did on my interior house painting project. Initially, I scheduled five estimates. (3) through Angie's list and (2) through HA, and I ended up receiving six quotes. Pro Painters may not have been the lowest but was within the ballpark and, more importantly, took the time to point out areas that needed repair, made suggestions, and, more importantly, listened to my needs. Jacob and his team were punctual, painted the rooms, ceilings, and made the repairs as promised. The price quoted was the price paid upon completion Jacob was the only contractor to follow-up on his quote. I ended up selecting Pro-Painter over another contractor that was highly recommended by an excellent friend. I was concerned, but those concerns and my gut feeling dissipated after day one. My original quote was for three bedrooms and a hallway. Pro-Painter painted the entire interior of my house within the promised time, cleaned up every day, and made sure to show me the finished work each day. Pro Painters exceeded expectations. I will be hiring then again to complete the exterior of the house. Thank you Jacob for your professionalism, attention to detail and exceeding our expectations."

"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.."

"Leonard's Masonry did a solid job with my paver project. He promised me that after he was done fixing the pavers around my pool that it would look brand new and he was spot on. There were a couple of tricky spots around the pool and the work he did around those areas was exceptional. I would definitely hire him again and would recommend him to anyone that is looking for a solid masonry contractor."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, you can waterproof any wood that has not already been treated. A good way to test this is to splash some water on it. If the water starts to bead up, the wood is treated and most likely doesn’t need another coating.

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.

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.

An exterior paint job typically lasts between 5 and 10 years, though this can range from 3 to 17 years depending on several factors. The longevity is influenced by the quality of the paint and primer, the quality of the application, the local climate, and the type of surface being painted. For example, paint on wood siding may need to be redone every 3 to 7 years, while painted brick can last up to 17 years. Aluminum siding often needs repainting every 5 years.
