"The owner, Mario, is a true professional. He knows his stuff. He made great recommendations and I’m glad I took his advice about the color selection. My house looks great. His crew did a great job. They were courteous and neat. I was worried about my plants and they went the extra mile to protect them. I highly recommend them."

"We had an excellent experience with this company. Lisa came out to my home the same day I called for an estimate and two days later had a crew painting the house. The crew worked long hours and with great attention to detail. They cleaned up everything before they left each day and furnishings and flooring were covered when they arrived every day. Lisa is very knowledgeable about what needed to be done and was a big help in choosing what colors to use. Everything came out beautifully."

"The owner showed up on time and when he said he would for the quote and to do the work each day for two weeks. He worked his schedule around ours. He worked with us when we had some additions and changes in the middle of the project. The work was good and the price was fair."

If you?re looking for a company that delivers professional results and treats your home with care, I would definitely recommend them!"

"Derek did outstanding work. Needed my backsplash to match my stone wall and new countertops to bring a younger more homely look to the kitchen and he made it happen! Quick, effective and extremely cost efficient. Very pleasant young man, hard worker and super personable. Highly recommended."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.

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.

Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years.

While the answer varies based on weather, 10 a.m. is a good time to start painting. The dew will have dried, meaning there’s no moisture on the house, and the temperature will likely be moderate and the sunlight less direct. Starting mid-morning should also give you enough daylight and pleasant weather to work on the job for several hours.

It's okay to walk on a newly painted deck after about four to six hours as long as the weather has been dry. Be sure to wait at least 24 hours before you place any outdoor furniture or grills on a freshly painted deck, though.
