"Our home is beautiful. We are picky and looked at everything and there are no complaints. The painters are very meticulous and really nice to work with. They did a great job and we would hire them again. Rich explained the process and there was a foreman that came out each day to check the work. Wait til its done then they backtrack over the tiniest spots to fill in gaps as expected on a home. Would recommend them again."

"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

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.

It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the deck refinishing process. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.

Painted decks typically require a new coat about once every ten years. In between new coats, it's best to maintain your deck by regularly removing debris, washing it down with non-abrasive cleaners, and staying ahead of structural issues, such as loose boards and rotting wood. In some cases, painting a small section of your deck affected by damage or the sun can lower your costs and workload.

Hangers are one way of attaching stair stringers to a deck. These metal hangers are usually adjustable, allowing you to find the ideal angle for a secure installation. They’re the best choice for installing longer staircases, such as one on a two-story deck, to reduce the load on the deck frame while keeping the stairs stable.

Always wait until the morning dew has dried before you stain your deck. The stain needs a fully dry surface to sink into.
