"Carlsons did a great job outside painting our home. Also painted our pool screen enclosure and our cool deck. In addition they added a small fence section to hide garbage containers and AC unit. We also had an outside bathroom door replaced and painted. Carlsons team did a great job. There were a few minor things that needed retouch, I pointed them out and they came back and satisfactorily retouched everything we pointed out. I highly recommend them."

"This was my second time using Sunrise Quality Painting and the quality was equally as good as the first. Nick and the team arrive 7AM each day to complete a careful and thorough paint job on the entire inside of the home. They cover the existing smoke smell of the home and vastly improved the appearance. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a quick and quality paint job."

"We hired David and his team to paint the exterior of our 3 story home along with trim and decking. They were VERY timely and did it very efficiently and did such a great job. They left behind no mess and all the trim work looked perfect. I have referred them to other friends and family and would recommend them to anyone looking to have painting done at a fair price. We will use again."

"After I described the details of what I hoped to get from my Pool Deck Refinish project, Matt began to explain the tasks needed to get what I wanted. I could tell by his confident demeanor that this was someone I could trust to get it done, and done right. The quote for the work was received on the same day. The work was scheduled a few days after our agreed-upon price. A price that was easy to accept. Pleased with our deal, Volvo, my assigned painter made the deal all the more worth the price. His attention to detail and concern for my agreement with each planned task were comforting. The finished work was far beyond our expectations. Thank you Matt for sending Volvo to refinish our pool deck and for the timely and reasonable offer. Will strongly recommend your company to our neighbors."

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, it is important to wash your deck before painting to ensure the paint applies well and adheres properly. While you don't have to use a pressure washer, it is one of the most efficient cleaning methods. Pressure washing can quickly remove dirt, wood fibers, and flaked paint, getting deeper into the wood than manual scrubbing. You can also clean the deck with a stiff broom and a cleaning solution. Regardless of the method, a clean surface is essential for good paint adhesion. Make sure the deck is completely dry before applying any paint.

Painting a damaged pool deck is not recommended if the substrate is crumbling, cracking, spalling, or otherwise actively deteriorating. Continuing deterioration will result in the paint also delaminating or flaking off the damaged surface. Minor damage such as chips or hairline cracks that are not actively deteriorating can often be repaired enough to paint over. A damaged pool deck with a lot of cracking and deterioration should be replaced for best results.

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

When applying multiple coats, wait four to six hours for each coat to dry. Not waiting long enough can result in streaks, peeling, and uneven color. Plus, it will be more difficult to discern where the second coat has already been applied.

You don't need to seal your deck after painting it because most exterior paints are waterproof and weather-resistant. While stealing is not necessary, it can add an additional layer of protection.
