"Hiring Carlson’s Proficient Painting was an excellent experience from beginning to end. I was impressed by their professionalism, expertise, and pride in doing the job right — down to the tiniest detail. My 60-year-old house now looks sleek and beautiful and updated and is getting lots of compliments. I got multiple estimates, and Carlson’s was the best value. Their price was reasonable, they use substantially better quality paint (the highest grade of Sherwin Williams), and their written estimate thoroughly detailed every step of the process. Eric, the owner of Carlson’s, was a stand out. He spent a lot of time going around my house discussing its issues and offering solutions that the other companies did not have. I decided not only to have the house and an outdoor shed painted, but also the pool cage pressure-washed and the pool deck and an extended slab along the side of the house painted. Also, I opted to have the aluminum frame of my screened porch repainted, a rain diverter installed along one area, and some rotted wood replaced. Carlson’s three-man team of LeRon, Kirk and Brandon were experienced craftsmen (artists, really) who went above and beyond to make everything perfect and to offer suggestions here and there that really helped. They were a joy to work with, always accommodating and helpful in responding to any question or issue I brought up. I can’t remember when I’ve had such a positive experience with a company. I highly recommend them."

"Matt, at Clima-Guard Painting, did an outstanding job with pressure washing and paining the gutters, soffit, and fascia around a 2000 sq ft house and pool cage! He was flexible and worked around my Airbnb renting schedule. I highly recommend him for all the different types of work he does."

"Matt did an superb job on painting the exterior of our 3,374 square foot home. He was very neat, detailed, and meticulous. Our home never looked so good, not even when it was brand new (built in 2008)! Also, we had originally considered re-staining the front door but Matt suggested a semi gloss paint and we are so happy that we took his advice! The door looks absolutely gorgeous!!! We highly recommend Clima-Guard painting if you are looking for a true professional with proven outstanding results"

"Chris and John were amazing. I will use them again and again. They communicated with me whenever there were delays or issues; they found problems that arose after they started, and immediately provided me with solutions. They went the extra mile every time, and Chris even helped me find someone to address issues I had with my pool when I couldn’t get pool people to call me back! Their work is amazing, and I have the sharpest-looking house on the street now. I recommend them without reservation. Good work ethic and outstanding customer service! I wish there were more contractors like them."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

It’s best to use an exterior latex acrylic paint to promote maximum adhesion to composite decking. This flexible paint type can better cope with the natural expansion and contraction that can occur with composite deck boards. Oil-based paints won’t adhere as effectively and are more likely to crack and peel as the boards flex. Testing whether your chosen paint will stick on an inconspicuous section or a spare board is a good idea.

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. 

Yes, staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan, typically by five to 10 years. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and rot over time. Applying a treatment creates a protective shield that helps prevent splintering, fading, and decay, preserving the wood's strength and appearance. A combination stain and sealer often provides the best protection, as it soaks into the wood grain rather than just sitting on top. This offers superior defense against UV damage and rot and lasts longer than a sealer alone. To maintain the wood's natural look, consider using a near-translucent stain. You should plan to reapply the stain or sealer every two to three years.

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.

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.
