"Phil was a delight to work with. He did an amazing and exceptional job painting our house. He started on time and finished on time, he is very polite and work area was always clean, no drops of paint anywhere in sight. Phil was very easy to work and communicate with. He offered very good and affordable pricing. We would highly recommend him and hire him again for our next projects. Thank you so much Phil for the amazing job."

"Steven is very professional, polite, and honest, honesty being of the utmost importance to me followed by quality workmanship. He provided a fair estimate for an exterior stucco repair. His team (Thank you Mart) completed the job on schedule, left nothing to clean up, and finished the project slightly below budget! I am very satisfied with the work. I will have them back soon for another project. Update 5.11.20 - I wanted to add that Petra Painting returned to completely paint the exterior of my 30+ yr old home, including exterior walls, doors, trim, gutters, and the garage door. The crew was excellent. Started with a thorough pressure cleaning and prepped the foundation to paint below the grass height, then caulked all cracks and blemishes. Primer and paint applied neatly, virtually no mess. Repaired, sealed, and painted the chimney top too. Also cleaned, primed and pained the patio and ceiling. Steven and his crew are friendly, professional and dedicated to providing excellent service and completed the job in a timely manner. Best decision I have made regarding painting professionals. Highly recommend!"

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.

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. 

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. 

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.

You don’t necessarily have to remove all the old paint before repainting your deck, but it’s best to remove as much as possible to ensure a smooth and long-lasting finish. Prioritize scraping off loose, peeling, or flaking paint, and sand down rough areas to create a smooth surface for the new paint to bond with.
