"Our little project was completed in record time. The First Class crew did an outstanding job and we could not be more pleased with the result. Jordan, the owner, also provided good advice on color. The original color we chose was too dark so we chose a lighter shade and it looks great!"

"I am a renter who hired Eric to repaint the full interior of my previous home before moving out. I was very impressed with his communication and responsiveness and the quality of the finished product. The landlord was very happy that I left the home better than I found it and I was able to receive my full security deposit back. Thank you Finish Coat Painting!"

"Brad and his team did a fantastic job removing our popcorn ceiling and finishing it with a smooth finish. His team was very flexible and was able to get the work done while my family and I were still living in the house, which was no easy task. Overall his team was great, did excellent work, accommodated our needs, and did the work at a fair price. Would highly recommend Mastercraft Maintenance and Construction Services and would use them for home projects in the future."

"I would hire Dow Walked again to paint, but not to do any additional maintenance work. He does an acceptable paint job and is quick to fix something not up to homeowner standards, tho he does not do any wall prep in advance and sanding only if you point out paint drips he didnâ t catch.. However, his trouble shooting skills are just not there, he installed a bifold door and left it squeaky not able to figure out how make it work smoothly, (WD40 did the trick)he removed my deadbolt to paint the door and put it back on incorrectly so we were locked out of the house. ( new deadbolt needed) he installed a pull out garbage can in the cabinet and left screws inside that he didnâ t put in and can wouldnâ t stay on the track (we fixed) , he installed an LVP floor and was short at baseboards in two spots and left it that way. His carpentry skills are basic, we had him install all new baseboards and some of his cuts not precise. So yes, my recommendation is to hire Walker Painting for painting but not any work requiring troubleshooting or fine carpentry skills..."

"The Pressure Washing, Exterior Repairs and Painting of my home and screened porch performed JP's Paint Co. LLC Far Exceeded My Highest Expectations!! Their communication with me was excellent. Lindsay & Julian arrived right on time and walked my property, taking notes, photos and discussing all of their recommendations necessary to bring about the best results based on my description of what I needed. JP's Paint Co. LLC clearly operates with a high standard of integrity that is not often seen these days.

The entire job was able to be completed in one day and my yard was totally clear of any trash once they were packed and ready to go! I absolutely recommend JP's Paint Co. LLC!! They are A+++ in every category!"

"We requested a quote for painting of 2 rooms, a bathroon/vanity area and an office/craft room. Luke of Phoenix Painting responded immediately and came out the next morning to review the painting work needed and to provide the quote. From the moment we met Luke exuded professionalism, honesty and courtesy. He was very easy to talk with and even provided us insights and recommendations as to paint colors and finishes. Luke gave us a timeline as to when the work could start as well as a projected finish date. We were delighted to find that the timeline was strictly adhered to; the start date and end date were spot on. Here, briefly, are other notable experiences from the project: Luke was very communicative in responses to calls with questions. The workmen were knowledeable, courteous and respectful. Luke checked in personally twice daily to monitor the work status. Painting was completed beautifully, on time to our delight. Will recommend to family and friends."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

To make sure the paint won’t bubble as you apply it, make sure to paint on a day that’s cooler than 85 degrees Fahrenheit. When the temperature is too high, the paint won’t dry evenly, which can result in bubbles forming on the surface. Another way to prevent paint from bubbling is to clean the walls, apply primer, and let everything dry completely before you begin.

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.

The opposite is actually true: Wood stains tend to appear lighter when they’re fully dry. However, stains may darken as they weather and oxidize with age. Stains might also darken on surfaces left in direct sunlight, as UV rays can break down pigment particles and cause them to darken over time.

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must.
