"5 star service all the way! Did all the work and then some. Did the house, pool deck, pool cage, driveway, and sidewalk. The house paint looks new now! Did extras "while I was there anyway" - the decorative rocks in front (they look great now) the brick retention wall outside along the pool deck ( it looks new now!) and the postal box post (it looks new now too)"

"Matt, at Clima-Guard Painting, did an outstanding job with pressure washing and paining the gutters, soffit, and fascia around a 2000 sq ft house and pool cage! He was flexible and worked around my Airbnb renting schedule. I highly recommend him for all the different types of work he does."

"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"

"It was nice to be able to have my condo painted in half a day. I gave 50% deposit before the job and then paid after reviewing that everything was painted the way I want. They are very professional to cover everything. Price was good and included the Behr paint. I communicated with them mostly over text and email since I was out of the country while trying to coordinate the date of the job."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, it is generally a very good idea to seal your deck after pressure washing. Power washing removes not only dirt and debris but also a thin layer of wood, leaving the surface exposed and more susceptible to weathering. Sealing is almost always needed after this process. After a general cleaning, sealing isn't automatically necessary if the existing sealant is still intact. You can test the surface by placing a few drops of water on it. If the water beads up, the sealant is working. If it soaks into the wood, it's time to apply a new sealant. If it has been a few years, it's wise to remove the old sealant, wash the deck, and reseal for maximum protection.

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.

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. 

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.

Exterior paints contain more volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, making them dangerous when used indoors. Without the free ventilation of the great outdoors, it can take longer for the fumes to dissipate than interior paint. While you may notice the smell lessening more quickly, you should be wary of paint fumes inside for 48 to 72 hours after it dries.
