"This is my third time hiring Tibi and his team. This time it was for extensive renovation for flood damage from Hurricane Helene. He did interior wall texturing, painting, flooring, cabinetry and a bunch of other stuff. Excellent job and very fairly priced. No “nickel and dimes” after the fact. I was remote for much of the work and Tibi was able to do things with little oversight. He would send pics and videos everyday of progress. Top notch! Highly recommended."

"Gen-1 Painting was recently hired to repaint every inch of our 640sqft mobile home, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish with Paul and his team. This painting team demonstrated incredible attention to detail, ensuring that every wall, ceiling, trim, and even the smallest corners received a flawless series of coats. The prep work was thorough—covering furniture, patching holes, and sanding where needed—which led to a smooth and professional finish. Paul is not only thorough, he is thoughtful! Paul and his team were punctual each day, kept the workspace tidy, and communicated transparently about the schedule and paint recommendations through Sherman Williams. The transformation is remarkable; our mobile home feels refreshed and much brighter thanks to the quality craftsmanship. If you’re looking for a skilled, reliable painter who takes real pride in their craft, we highly recommend Paul for any size project—especially if you want every inch to look its best."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood’s grain for best results.

You’ll need to restrain your deck when you notice fading, cracking, peeling, or mold and mildew over a moderate to large area, or when it’s become especially difficult to clean. As for how often to stain a deck, plan to do it every two to three years or whenever you start to notice extended damage.

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

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.

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.
