"Arti is a master tile installer! He repaired a section of our floor to perfection after someone else had made a mess if it. Thank you to Arti for stepping in to finish the job beautifully. Not many skilled craftsmen would kindly do this. He did. We are grateful."

"This is the only company that I will use for all of my painting projects in the future. Peter was very attentive to all of my needs. I had 3 quotes and Peter's quote was the best of all of them. We had not painted our in 20 years and we had a lot of peeling and mildew stains. Luke and Jeremy did a great job with the pressure washing. We also had quite a few cracks in the stucco. They were able to fix all of the cracks and caulked all of the windows. We didn't change any of the colors and Luke did a fantastic job matching the existing colors. Our soffit and fascia was a very dingy white and Luke was able to match our neighbor's dark brown color. Peter said it would take 3 days to finish but we had 1 day of rain so the whole job took 4 days. The house turned out so good that it actually looks better than when it was brand new. We have already gotten so many compliments and everyone looks at the house when they drive by. The curb appeal has increased 100% plus. We will be recommending ACS to all of our friends. Extremely professional and detail oriented. Everyone was very courteous as well. We are 100% satisfied. We will have ACS paint our house in 10 years. Thank you so much and again FANTASTIC job."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

The need for a topcoat on a painted deck depends on various factors, primarily the type of paint used and your desired level of protection. Many premium deck paint formulations are self-sealing, eliminating the necessity for an additional topcoat. These paints often have built-in additives that substantially protect against moisture, UV rays, and everyday wear and tear.

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths

Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.
