"Eric and his crew were a pleasure to work with. He scheduled a day/time to come review the job. He was right on time! He kept in communication with his quote which was extremely reasonable, the timing of the job, and what we wanted for paint colors, etc. He uses high quality Sherwin Williams paint. On the first day of the job, he arrived with his crew, Eddie, Kurt and Mark to review the job with them. The guys were very professional, friendly, and paid attention to all the details. They cleaned up at the end of the day before leaving. They did an amazing job painting our condo."

"We hired David and his team to paint the exterior of our 3 story home along with trim and decking. They were VERY timely and did it very efficiently and did such a great job. They left behind no mess and all the trim work looked perfect. I have referred them to other friends and family and would recommend them to anyone looking to have painting done at a fair price. We will use again."

"Meticulous painting did a fantastic job on our 100 year old peeling home. We had 3 companies come give us quotes and I liked Keith the best by far. He listened to what we were wanting to do and told me exactly what they needed to do to get us there. It worked out great because he came in with the best quote in the end anyway. During the process he stopped by frequently to check on the crew and was in contact constantly to make sure we were happy with how things were going. The crew upheld the "meticulous" name and truly were meticulous in how they prepped, painted, and paid attention to the details. If I could give them more stars I would. We will definitely use them again in the future."

"A very positive experience from the get go. Michael came out looked at the house and had a quote to us that evening. We got approval for the color from our HOA and within a week the house was prepped, stucco patched, and all surfaces painted to our specifications. Wouldn't hesitate to hire him again, maybe for some interior painting. I will recommend his services to any friends or neighbors who inquire."

"After I described the details of what I hoped to get from my Pool Deck Refinish project, Matt began to explain the tasks needed to get what I wanted. I could tell by his confident demeanor that this was someone I could trust to get it done, and done right. The quote for the work was received on the same day. The work was scheduled a few days after our agreed-upon price. A price that was easy to accept. Pleased with our deal, Volvo, my assigned painter made the deal all the more worth the price. His attention to detail and concern for my agreement with each planned task were comforting. The finished work was far beyond our expectations. Thank you Matt for sending Volvo to refinish our pool deck and for the timely and reasonable offer. Will strongly recommend your company to our neighbors."

"You will not find any better of a painter than Mark Frye, his work speaks for itself. We had every inch of our house painted, ceilings , walls, trim, doors and baseboards and not one flaw truly. His precision is amazing , very talented . Customer service was impeccable , never bullied , never convinced me to do anything I didnâ t want to , provided detail of every task thoroughly and his overall demeanor is so kind and professional. The money was incredibly fair and just and he provided receipts for all paint he bought and did not buy over and charge for that. Incredible experience all around!!!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths

Beyond liquid rubber, homeowners can use sealants, stains, membranes, or tapes as waterproofing options. Oil-based or water-based sealants soak into the wood, creating a moisture-resistant barrier. Waterproofing stains—available in transparent, semi-transparent, and solid colors—add both protection and style to your deck. For heavy-duty waterproofing, deck membranes and waterproof tapes can be applied under the deck boards to direct water away from the structure below. Whatever method you choose, clean and prep the deck first to ensure the best, longest-lasting results.

Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint. 

Staining pressure-treated wood is a recommended practice. While inherently resilient, it's not impervious to moisture and UV exposure. Staining treated wood is feasible and recommended for enhanced protection and longevity. Applying stain and sealant safeguards against degradation, prolonging its life span. These measures shield the wood from environmental threats while augmenting its aesthetic appeal, ensuring your investment endures the test of time.

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.
