"Simply put, Alex Williamson and his team are the best. Professional, capable, skilled, proficient, responsive, easy to communicate with, caring, delivers on promises, flexible, follows up -- where's my Thesaurus when I need it to look up more superlatives to describe the positive experience I had with Alex. He and his team expertly pressure washed the house and pool deck, painted the house/trim, repaired some soffit, and even pulled some unneeded cable from the exterior of the house at the last minute -- all for a very fair and competitive price. Alex, if you're reading this, as soon as I save a little more money for the next few projects I'm planning, you can count on the fact you will be the first one I call. Your business card is safely stored and handy when I need it."

"We recently moved into a new rental home. Patrick from GHI did an amazing job. The house is very large with 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and Patrick painted it in 1 weekend so we could begin moving in the following Monday. I would recommend them for any painting project you have. They do great work."

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

It’s necessary for paint to completely dry before exposure to rain, and that drying time varies by the type of paint used. Oil-based paint takes 6 to 8 hours to dry on average, meaning that’s the minimum time needed between the last brush stroke and the first raindrop. Latex paint dries faster at around 1 hour, and acrylic paint is even quicker, usually drying in about 30 minutes. If rain is in the forecast, check the paint manufacturer's details before laying on a new coat. 

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.

Whether to paint or stain a deck depends on your personal preference for appearance and budget. Stain provides a natural look with a range of undertones, is typically less expensive, and may only require one coat, but it does not last as long as paint. Paint offers a sleeker finish with a virtually unlimited color palette. Both options will protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear.

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. 

Painted decks typically require a new coat about once every ten years. In between new coats, it's best to maintain your deck by regularly removing debris, washing it down with non-abrasive cleaners, and staying ahead of structural issues, such as loose boards and rotting wood. In some cases, painting a small section of your deck affected by damage or the sun can lower your costs and workload.
