"Extremely happy with the job. Bluefox Painting washed the tile roof of our single-family home, pressure washed, repaired and painted the entire exterior walls, including the garage door, the exterior lamps, all the trim and the main door. The crew was here with a supervisor on time and on the day we had scheduled. We had no issues with the job nor the paint colors that were chosen. Top-notch service and quality of the job, we highly recommend them."

"I recently hired Fresh Coat Painters for an exterior paint job on my home, and I couldn't be more impressed. From the initial consultation to the final walk-through, the team was professional, punctual, and detail-oriented. They helped me choose the right color and finish for Florida weather, and their prep work — including pressure washing, scraping, and caulking — was top-notch. The paint application was clean and even, with sharp lines and no mess left behind. My house looks brand new! I’ve already received compliments from neighbors. Highly recommend Fresh Coat Painters for anyone looking for reliable and high-quality exterior painting."

"Had an excellent experience with this guy. The wood flooring came out beautifully with extreme care and craftsmanship. On top of that, the conversations were great and the dedication to getting everything right was obvious from start to finish. He took pride in his work and didn’t rush anything, which made a big difference in the final result. Highly recommend if you want quality work done by someone who truly cares about what they do."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Choosing the right product involves understanding deck material, desired finish, and local weather conditions. Opt for high-quality, weatherproof formulations ensuring long-term durability and appearance retention.

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.

You can use latex or acrylic paint outdoors. Although acrylic paint tends to last longer outside, it also costs more, so if you’re painting the outside of your house, for instance, latex paint is often a go-to option. However, acrylic will be your best choice if you want to spend some extra money for added durability.

Deciding whether to stain or paint a pool deck depends on your budget, desired look, and the deck's material. Both options can work. Paint offers a wider variety of color options, provides excellent water resistance, and can last longer. However, it requires a primer and can eventually fade or peel. Stain is often cheaper, easier to apply, and penetrates the wood for a more natural look and longer-lasting finish. It also has great water resistance. The downsides are fewer color options and the need for a sealant. The choice can also depend on the deck material; for example, staining may be a better option for concrete as it bonds well and lasts longer than paint.
