"OMG not only do they handle everything professionally, they gave me a very detailed quote and did everything they said they were going to do and went above and beyond to do even more than what was promised. They hauled away items for free that really were not their responsibility but but did it anyhow. They even painted other areas of my patio when I asked them and I told them to add it to my bill (which was not added....only the amount originally quote. They said they would be here at 8:00 but showed up a half hour early and began working which has never been my experience when working within the construction business and with contractors (and my father-in-law was a building contractor for 30 years). Now after having them paint my metal roof on my patio, I do not ever want to hire anyone else....I hope they stay in business for many more years as they have spoiled me for any other painters. Also they pressure washed the whole patio first, moving out everything and taking photos so that they could put everything back as it was before. And they even referred someone to me to fix my screen as I need to have all new screening on the back patio. Absolutely the best of the best!!! I would give them 10 stars if you would allow it."

"G&M did a great job for us! They painted all of our 3-rail fence around our large property and also stained our front deck. Everything looks amazing and there was constant communication with them. They really stepped up and did the job very well and on time. They also provided their services at a fair price. Thank you Brayan and Maurice, we appreciate you taking such good care of us. We highly recommend them!!"

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.

The best time to paint your deck is when temperatures are neither too cold (below 60 degrees) nor too hot (above 85 degrees). Always paint your deck when there’s no risk of rain. For fast-drying paint like acrylic or latex, ensure your deck can dry for at least four hours. Oil-based paints take longer to dry and may require 48 hours to completely cure.

Deck staining or painting safeguards wood against the elements through its protective layer, enhancing decay resistance, prolonging structural integrity, and improving visual appeal.

You can paint over old paint on a concrete porch. For the best results, you should first clean the surface and remove as much paint as you can. A power washer is helpful here, but you’ll also want to scrape as much of the old paint away as possible. Then you should prime the porch before repainting it.

Hiring a contractor or professional deck refinisher is the best way to ensure your deck is properly stained. They have the expertise, tools, and supplies to do the job quickly and efficiently. However, staining a deck is a manageable task for most homeowners, and doing the job yourself can save money. Just keep in mind that DIY staining is a long process requiring physical strain, so it may not be the best option for everyone.
