"Excellent. Bruce, the painter assigned to do the work, started by putting up plastic sheeting to completely cover and protect the kitchen cabinets, cupboards, and appliances as well as to seal off the entrances to the rest of my condo. He then repaired the water-stained areas in the ceiling (involving treating or replacing damaged/discolored areas as appropriate) and allowed the products used to dry. Finally, he applied two coats of paint over the entire ceiling. The entire job was finished in less than a day."

"Sergio came out the same day to give me an estimate. He told me he could also put new lattice around the deck and gave me an estimate for that. Sergio gave me several choices for color. His crew showed up on time. They moved my grill into my garage for me. I am very pleased with the work they did. The stain looks great with the lattice work. His crew was friendly and professional. I would highly recommend this company."

"The 3-level deck structure consists of a 2nd floor deck, 1st floor above-ground deck and a lower ground deck The project involved 3 phases - repair/prep, raise/level, sand/stain - and was completed in 4 days. Sam's solutions for leveling the deck and also the installation of flashing to resolve a water problem were great! Sam and his team provided high quality workmanship at a very reasonable cost. They are dependable and very easy to work with. Thank you!"

Customers say: True professional

"The deck hadn't been stained in a few years and needed at least two coats of stain. When we first spoke he was fine with two coats. The stain I had purchased myself. A premium stain knowing the wood would soak it up like a sponge. When he started, I stopped by to check on the deck and he stated that it would only need one coat. I said two, as we had agreed on earlier. That's when he started giving me a hard time about the second coat. He was insistent that it only needed one. He wanted an easy in and out job. He finally agreed on two coats. When they finished there were areas that didn't even get one coat (back of one of the two benches and an area of decking next to the house). The one coat places were in areas that I guess he didn't think I'd look, behind bushes etc. , hire someone else."

"I use Sunrise Painting several times a year for both my clients I refer them to and for my own properties. He gets my quotes completed quickly and more importantly he gets the projects completed promptly. I also appreciate the owner, Halil, follows up each completion with his own final touch ups and cleanup. I think he and his firm are the best."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

The opposite is actually true: Wood stains tend to appear lighter when they’re fully dry. However, stains may darken as they weather and oxidize with age. Stains might also darken on surfaces left in direct sunlight, as UV rays can break down pigment particles and cause them to darken over time.

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.

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.

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.

Deck staining or painting safeguards wood against the elements through its protective layer, enhancing decay resistance, prolonging structural integrity, and improving visual appeal.
