"I went on Angi’s list and asked for a couple of painters to call me regarding some painting I needed done. This company called me almost immediately. I spoke to Amzard, the owner, and he was very nice and we made arrangements to meet. He was right on time, looked at what needed to be done and very quickly sent us his proposal. It was very fair and he got the job done quickly. We had a living room, dining room, hallway, kitchen, two bedrooms and two bathrooms and the laundry room painted. He did it quickly and efficiently and did a great job. We are actually having him come back to do some more trim work that we need done and to repair the ceiling in the laundry room. He was very responsible and reliable, cleaned up after himself and did a great job. I fully recommend him and plan on using this company in the future."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

If you have a smooth, already bonded concrete surface, painting a concrete pool deck can be a great way to brighten up the area and add longevity. If the surface has another covering or a different type of paint has been used previously, you won’t be able to paint it without removing the existing coating. Wooden decks benefit from painting as it helps to keep them watertight. Quality pool deck paints also help make the surface less slippery and less likely to gather mold and mildew or prematurely crack.

The best paint for an older deck depends on the material and whether or not your deck already has a coat of paint. Generally, if your deck already has paint on it, you should choose the same type of paint when repainting the deck. For example, if an old deck has oil-based paint on it, stick with oil; if your deck has water-based paint, choose water-based paint. 

Always wait until the morning dew has dried before you stain your deck. The stain needs a fully dry surface to sink into.

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.
