"I recently hired Dr Home to paint my 2nd floor, remove all the carpet and install hybrid laminate flooring including the stairs. I highly recommend Dr Home!! We are very happy with the results. Miguel was responsive throughout the whole project. I got multiple quotes and his prices were by far the best. His crew was on time, friendly and respectful. The work was completed on time and we are very happy with the results. They were also able to accommodate extra items that we needed done while they were here. I would highly recommend Dr Home and will use them again for future projects."

"Hiring Noel Painting was a great experience. First of all Richard their sales person and estimator was very professional and knowledgeable. He made it very easy to get approval from our HOA as he gave me a folder that had a copy of their license and insurance information and a little history about their company. The painters did a great job and very meticulous. I had two other bids, one was close to Noelâ  s estimate and the other was off the chart, $2,000 higher than the other two bids. I figured that company really didnâ  t want the job. I highly recommend Noel."

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

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. 

The best time to paint your deck is when temperatures are neither too cold (below 60 degrees) nor too hot (above 85 degrees). Always paint your deck when there’s no risk of rain. For fast-drying paint like acrylic or latex, ensure your deck can dry for at least four hours. Oil-based paints take longer to dry and may require 48 hours to completely cure.

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

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.

You can paint over old paint on a concrete porch. For the best results, you should first clean the surface and remove as much paint as you can. A power washer is helpful here, but you’ll also want to scrape as much of the old paint away as possible. Then you should prime the porch before repainting it.
