"Paddy's guys did the work and clean up the same day. They did such a great job that their foreman checked their work the same day instead of a week later. They charged a fair price for my tiny house. Will recommend every time!!"

"The final look was absolutely beautiful. A certain color i picked didn’t look how i expected it to & they were more than willing to paint over and redo that section with a different color of my choice. Everyone was very respectful & professional. I will be calling back for more inside work!"

"We hired DMJ Custom Colors to clean and apply solid color stain to treated wood skirting on our beach house. Dennis spent much time with me advising me on which products would be best. He even provided a contact with a paint manufacturer and encouraged me to consult with him. This was extremely helpful. He and his men did a wonderful job, with great attention to neatness and detail. He promptly responded to ever contact and finished the job promptly. We could not be more pleased. His price was a little higher but I was willing to employ him because of his helpfulness. It was a great experience and I will use him again."

"Dennis and crew did a fantastic job painting the whole interior of our house, which was fully furnished. They moved and/or covered everything appropriately. While here other jobs not origanily requested were performed when asked, such as sanding and staining handrails, painting outside front door, as well as other small areas ouside not done correctly by the builder. Dennis is very detailed and made sure all dry wall imperfections were correctly taken care of prior to painting. Highly recommend."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

The best temperature to paint a pool deck is between 50 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit, because many paints and sealers require temperatures warm enough for the chemical reaction to take place for proper curing. The paint should not be allowed to freeze, and temperatures above 90 degrees can cause the paint to dry too quickly, also preventing the chemical reaction from following through to completion.

It is not always necessary to remove old stain before restaining a deck. If the previous stain is in good condition and is compatible with the new stain, you may be able to apply a new coat after thorough cleaning. However, if the old stain is in bad condition, flaking, or peeling, it is best to remove it completely to ensure an even surface and proper adhesion for the new coat. Staining over a damaged layer can lead to an uneven finish and poor penetration. For best results, test a small area first and consult the stain manufacturer's guidelines.

You should seal your deck every one to two years, but you’ll also need to clean and repair your wood deck throughout the seasons. You may want to hire a local house cleaning service to sweep and clean the deck thoroughly. These cleaning services cost around $50 per hour.

Inspect your deck at least once a year, and if you notice any damage or rot, expect to spend about $10 to $50 for simple DIY fixes or about $2,000 for professional repairs on more extensive damage.

Yes, you must thoroughly clean your deck before staining. If you don't, dirt, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped between the wood and the new stain. This not only looks unsightly but also prevents the stain from penetrating the wood properly, reducing its ability to protect the deck from weather and UV rays. As a result, the stain won't last as long or look as good. Any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage. Always wait at least 48 hours after cleaning for the wood to dry completely before applying stain.

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.
