"WOW!!! Our house is now back to being beautiful. All wood cedar siding with wood porches front and back in desperate need of resurfacing and sealing. Jose thoroughly cleaned it, looked so good. Then he and his crew stained and sealed ALL surfaces. It's so beautiful now, went from good after cleaning to GREAT!!! Jose is great to work with from start to finish. I feel so Blessed to have met up with Jose (DMR Colorvisions Pro). If you need the type of services he offers you need to hire him. Polite, professional, excellent work and very reasonable pricing. You won't be disappointed. Thank You Jose!! May God Bless You!!! :)"

"Benrahou Painting did a great job with the painting and door repair. Mustapha was on time and very nice to work with. He helped pick out the shades and finishes of paint to use for both the inside and outside of the house. He repaired the door before painting it so that I didn’t need to replace the doors. I have worked with many contractors in the past for other projects and he was much easier to work with and more reliable. I will absolutely hire him again for future projects."

"They pressure washed driveway, sidewalks and soffit and facia. After that they painted my front door, my front porch ceiling, the columns on my porch and any bit of wood trim there was. This company went above and beyond to get the job done. Oh I am very very pleased with this company, the owner Freddy, and his fabulous helper Jose. I would hire them again and again and again which I probably will. Very professional very polite and very respectful. Job well done"

"My experience with Hughie Dean’s was awesome from the initial meet and quote to the beautifully finished job. Daniel took his time, answered my questions, and provided a quote within 24 hours. The quote was very fair and I accepted immediately! I had just bought this home and the entire house needed to be painted before we moved in. The team showed up at 7:30 am with great attitudes and ready to work. I had to leave town unexpectedly and came back to a beautifully painted home. Daniel has a team of honest and professional staff that provide quality work. If you’re looking for an amazing company you’ve found them! You’re welcome :) you won’t be disappointed !! Thank you again for everything, we are settled in and couldn’t be happier."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Liquid rubber is great for waterproofing, but it can damage your deck if it’s not applied correctly. First, it can trap moisture in the wood if the deck isn’t completely dry before application.  Second, applying it too thickly can create a heavy, rubbery surface layer that peels and cracks under fluctuating temperatures. For the best results, ensure the wood is completely dry before application, and apply the liquid rubber in thin, even coats. A quick inspection every now and then will help you catch any issues early, keeping your deck protected and looking its best.

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.

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.

The need for a topcoat on a painted deck depends on various factors, primarily the type of paint used and your desired level of protection. Many premium deck paint formulations are self-sealing, eliminating the necessity for an additional topcoat. These paints often have built-in additives that substantially protect against moisture, UV rays, and everyday wear and tear.

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place.
