"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

You’ll need to wait until the surface is completely dry, which can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours under optimal conditions. The waiting period depends on several factors, including the type of siding and the weather conditions. Trying to paint before the surface is completely dry can trap moisture under the paint, leading to bubbling, blistering, and mold growth.

Here's the deal with leaving used rags covered in oil-based stain lying around in a pile: Depending on the conditions, these rags can take just an hour or up to a few days to combust. The source of ignition is caused by trapped heat that can be compounded if the rags are near a heat source.

Two coats of stain are ideal for the best protection and aesthetic appeal. However, if your decking is made of particularly dense hardwood, you may only need one coat. If you want an intense color, two coats are ideal.

Various kinds of substances and deck preservatives act as protective coatings for wood to prevent rot, which is caused by water getting into the wood and creating cracks and splits. Stains, paints, and sealants are the three best options to protect your wood, but there are also oils, varnishes, and waxes available. You’ll need to reapply sealant at least once per year, and you should inspect your wood deck regularly to look for signs of damage or general wear and tear.

Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years.
