"We have used Donnie and his crew for multiple exterior painting jobs. They did wonderful work the three times we had our homes painted. The crew did a great job, very detail orientated, punctual, and cleaned up like they were never there. Our last job w Donnie was last week 5/24/22 with painting of our pool deck. We're so happy with it. Thank you Donnie!!!"

"From start to finish, we were very pleased with how Amanda supervised the exterior painting of our home. She was prompt, professional and easy to work with. The painters, Jorge and Tito, showed up when promised, were very efficient and did quality work. We would highly recommend Stunning Contractor Solutions to anyone interested in having quality work done for a great price. Dave and Joan."

"WOW!!! Our house is now back to being beautiful. All wood cedar siding with wood porches front and back in desperate need of resurfacing and sealing. Jose thoroughly cleaned it, looked so good. Then he and his crew stained and sealed ALL surfaces. It's so beautiful now, went from good after cleaning to GREAT!!! Jose is great to work with from start to finish. I feel so Blessed to have met up with Jose (DMR Colorvisions Pro). If you need the type of services he offers you need to hire him. Polite, professional, excellent work and very reasonable pricing. You won't be disappointed. Thank You Jose!! May God Bless You!!! :)"

"The Camelot crew was incredible on multiple levels. They painted with precision lines and texture (Extremely even lines at ceiling and floor, & around objects on wall) They are extremely honest. (Had some issues with very expensive paint that I asked them to buy and put on the bill & they called that company & the money is being refunded to them & from them to me--Its not often you see such honesty in business) Camelot is very clean conscious at the end of their every day on the job (How often contractors don't do a good job cleaning up after themselves) They were conscious & respectful that I had animals (cats) in the house that I did not want to accidentally let outside. They had super positive attitudes on a daily basis. My place was a 3 week project. I'm going to miss those guys. I don't say this lightly, but I HIGHLY recommend them for their Skill set/ Price/ Attitude. Very Awesome Experience!!!!!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

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.

Always sand a deck before repainting so the wood is smooth and ready for paint. While you do not need to fully remove paint before repainting, sanding helps remove any areas with weather and sun damage. Sanding also helps remove chipped or flaking paint and opens the wood pores to improve paint adhesion.

Opt for an interior wood stain that is rated for your type of wood. Consider your personal style preferences as well as the overall use of the room when choosing a color. Remember, the color you see at the store may look different on your actual floors once applied. This is why if you have the chance, it’s helpful to test a few options on a scrap piece of wood in the room first. Once you narrow it down, you can test a small patch on an inconspicuous area in the room to see it on the actual floors.
