"David, explained what he will do prep, patch and paint my home. He listened to my wife's concerns about paint color and matched her paint perfectly. He is a true professional finished the job on time and on budget. The house looks great, and I would use Flopro Painting for my next project. Robert H. Port Charlotte, FL"

"We had a new construction house and Ted did the entire thing. Exterior, interior, staining doors, cabinets…EVERYTHING! They did a phenomenal job. Our ceilings are about 20 Ft up so it was not an easy task but we couldn’t have been happier with Ted and his crew. Would recommend them all day every day!"

"I recently hired Dr Home to paint my 2nd floor, remove all the carpet and install hybrid laminate flooring including the stairs. I highly recommend Dr Home!! We are very happy with the results. Miguel was responsive throughout the whole project. I got multiple quotes and his prices were by far the best. His crew was on time, friendly and respectful. The work was completed on time and we are very happy with the results. They were also able to accommodate extra items that we needed done while they were here. I would highly recommend Dr Home and will use them again for future projects."

"It was nice to be able to have my condo painted in half a day. I gave 50% deposit before the job and then paid after reviewing that everything was painted the way I want. They are very professional to cover everything. Price was good and included the Behr paint. I communicated with them mostly over text and email since I was out of the country while trying to coordinate the date of the job."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

When applying multiple coats, wait four to six hours for each coat to dry. Not waiting long enough can result in streaks, peeling, and uneven color. Plus, it will be more difficult to discern where the second coat has already been applied.

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.

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.

If your biggest concern is making sure your deck doesn’t show dirt, opt for a darker neutral color that blends in well with your surrounding landscape. A rich brown or dark grey are both good options that work with a variety of house colors. A high-quality acrylic paint is easy to clean and maintain, so it might be worth spending the money on.
