"This is the 2nd time Clima-Guard has repainted my entire home. I recently added onto the house and did not hesitate to contact Matt to do the job. Great attention to detail and communication. I feel that pricing is fair. I will be reaching out once a year for a soft wash to help keep my place looking great. Would highly recommend."

"Westend painting stained the exterior of our house and interior kitchen including cabinets. Kevin and Andrew took care to make sure everything was done completely and to our satisfaction. They took the cabinet doors off site to paint and reassembled them taking extra time to make sure they worked properly. They arrived when expected and took care to make everything was clean and neat. They worked hard to achieve the anticipated outcome. We recommend Westend Painting."

"Matt did an superb job on painting the exterior of our 3,374 square foot home. He was very neat, detailed, and meticulous. Our home never looked so good, not even when it was brand new (built in 2008)! Also, we had originally considered re-staining the front door but Matt suggested a semi gloss paint and we are so happy that we took his advice! The door looks absolutely gorgeous!!! We highly recommend Clima-Guard painting if you are looking for a true professional with proven outstanding results"

"From beginning to end Hunter and his crew were the consummate professionals. Got the work done in a timely manner at a price I thought was reasonable. He also worked with me on the colors. When the color I wanted for the shutters was not available he suggested a simple shade and it looked beautiful. He has my highest recommendation"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.

Aftercare includes routine cleaning, checking for water repellency, and promptly addressing any chips or peels, maintaining the deck's appearance and functionality.

Deciding whether to stain or paint a pool deck depends on your budget, desired look, and the deck's material. Both options can work. Paint offers a wider variety of color options, provides excellent water resistance, and can last longer. However, it requires a primer and can eventually fade or peel. Stain is often cheaper, easier to apply, and penetrates the wood for a more natural look and longer-lasting finish. It also has great water resistance. The downsides are fewer color options and the need for a sealant. The choice can also depend on the deck material; for example, staining may be a better option for concrete as it bonds well and lasts longer than paint.
