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!!! :)"

"Brad came out and helped us with a repair to our fascia boards on our mother in law suite. He and his team also installed much needed soffits. Brad was extremely professional, friendly, and got the project done with a close attention to detail in a very timely manner. We couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. We would absolutely recommend reaching out to Warner for any installation or repair needs!"

"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."

"Brian and his team were great. They painted the exterior of our home in Plantation Bay. They were neat and cleaned up after themselves. They arrived on time for each of the 4.5 days of the job. The house looks great and they were able to keep my husband pleased with their work, which is hard as he is quite a perfectionist, having been a construction superintendent throughout his career. Brian and his family are nice people and we are so glad we hired them."

"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

To make sure the paint won’t bubble as you apply it, make sure to paint on a day that’s cooler than 85 degrees Fahrenheit. When the temperature is too high, the paint won’t dry evenly, which can result in bubbles forming on the surface. Another way to prevent paint from bubbling is to clean the walls, apply primer, and let everything dry completely before you begin.

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

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. 

Limewash and whitewash do not harm surfaces if you apply them correctly. Use on non-suitable surfaces can cause issues. For instance, applying limewash or whitewash to surfaces with existing sealants or incompatible materials may lead to poor adhesion or flaking. Also, harsh cleaning agents on limewashed or whitewashed surfaces can damage the finish. Proper preparation, application, and maintenance ensure that limewash and whitewash do not harm surfaces.

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.
