"Jimmy and his team did an amazing job on our house. His professionalism and attention to detail was unlike other vendors that we were considering for this job. Jimmy went above and beyond to ensure that the house would look excellent. We have an older house and there was a lot of staining and initial work that needed to be done upfront to restore the look. Jimmy was always on time, reliable, and extremely communicative throughout the entire job. He even offered to paint some of our outdoor decor just to bring the look together. If you are looking for an absolutely amazing painter who has your best interests at heart, I highly recommend Cara PVD Painting. We will definitely be using Jimmy and his team for any additional painting jobs that we need in the future due to the amazing experience that we had with our exterior paint job!"

"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."

"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."

Customers say: True professional

"We needed someone to paint the exterior of the house and replace some posts and panels for a stretch of fence that had rotted and come down in the wind. A couple of quotes I got were crazy high…and them Sami and his son came out The price they quoted was excellent; now I just had to see if they knew what they were doing. Happily, Sami is the real deal. He cut in the painting expertly and did an excellent job overall, cleaning up after himself as he went. The fence was a bear, as the rotted posts were still anchored in concrete. He and his son dug the cement out, poured new cement, set new poles and reattached the existing panels. The work was professional, the results look great and the price was very reasonable. Now, they are my go to guys for any handyman projects that come up. Highly recommend!"

"Did a great job power washing the tiled pool area and I would have again for that reason and the price was right; my only exception there was a lot of debris in the pool after,so therefore the tiled area was not properly cleaned before hand which should have been; my pool man says most power wash people clean area thoroughly before washing"

"Very personable and polite. Did an amazing job of power washing my deck (he even cleaned some algae on some screen panels), He then returned after a couple of days (and the deck was completely dry) and applied two coats of sealer to my deck. It really shines. He cleaned everything up before he left. Just a real pleasure doing business with Michael. I highly recommend his services."

"Tony and his crew were very good and professional! I was extremely pleased with his price and the quality of the job! They covered the areas that could get paint on them - windows, deck, concrete, etc and cleaned up wonderfully. They completed the full job in 4 days doing pressure washing, calking, prepping, and painting. The price was much less than other estimates and the quality was excellent! I recommend them highly!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Beyond liquid rubber, homeowners can use sealants, stains, membranes, or tapes as waterproofing options. Oil-based or water-based sealants soak into the wood, creating a moisture-resistant barrier. Waterproofing stains—available in transparent, semi-transparent, and solid colors—add both protection and style to your deck. For heavy-duty waterproofing, deck membranes and waterproof tapes can be applied under the deck boards to direct water away from the structure below. Whatever method you choose, clean and prep the deck first to ensure the best, longest-lasting results.

Adding a second coat of stain to wood can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.

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.

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

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.
