Customers say: True professional

"We highly recommend Nelson Brothers Painting!! Larry and Gary are very knowledgeable and experienced professionals with high attention to detail. They did a superb job, at a reasonable price, on painting the exterior of our stucco home, including, all doors and dormer. We had asked for options to paint the soffits and fascia, pool deck, and shed. In their proposal, they broke out the costs for the options as requested, which we in turn, had them include everything. We liked the fact that both Larry and Gary did the initial site visit to develop their proposal, as it is always better to talk directly to the people who will be doing the work. The Nelson brothers were always very personable and professional and eager to please. They finished right on schedule and we appreciated the constant communication, ensuring that we were happy with the daily progress being made. Larry and Gary always cleaned up the area around the house at the end of the workday. They do very high-quality work and aim to please!!"

"Mike and his team did a phenomenal job on painting our garage and putting an epoxy floor in with flakes. We chose a beige/yellow with pebble flakes. It turned out gorgeous! They are meticulous with everything. We also had our front door refinished. We are so happy with everything. We had our patio redone in October with him and will use him in the future for all other painting jobs inside and out. The whole team is professional and gets the job done fast. Itâ s refreshing to get a company thatâ s reliable and cares about perfection."

"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."

"My experiences with JP’s has always been great. Most recently he painted the exterior of one of my commercial buildings. His crew took the time to repair a few bad spots in the stucco, and got the work done ahead of schedule. JP, the owner made sure that we were happy as always."

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.

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. 

When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.

Eggshell and satin finishes are best for porches because they sit in the sweet spot between scuffable matte and distracting high gloss. Your porch sees a fair amount of wear and tear, so you don’t want paint that’ll show every mark like matte, but you don’t want to be blinded by glossy paint in the sun either. Eggshell and satin have durability and a look that sits nicely in the middle.

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.
