"We used Superior a few times in the past to paint the interiors of homes and were very pleased. When the time came to paint the exterior of our home, we obtained three quotes. Superior's bid, while not the lowest, promised the best value... and they delivered. Their work on the exterior of our home was great. The teams were punctual, friendly, professional, and Gerard kept in touch to manage expectations. They also stripped the front door and re-stained it. I thought the door looked good before; I had no idea it had so much potential. The gentleman who worked on the front door explained the door was previously painted to look like wood grain. He brought out the door's true grain. We couldn't be more delighted."

"Mr. and Mrs. Williams did a fantastic job. I am extremely pleased. They not only washed the deck, they did the back of the house, a wooden planter, the lattice work, and the stone walkway! It looks just absolutely beautiful and they haven't even sealed it yet. It has to dry for a couple of days. I can't wait until they seal it as well. Based on what I've seen so far, they will be my go-to people for any job like this. They are very professional and friendly and very reasonably priced. 5 stars for sure."

"These guys did an amazing job. I am glad I did not listen to any of the reviews on Facebook because unfortunately there was some bad ones. I went with my gut and I’m glad I did. Craig and Mike were excellent. They listen to all my concerns and even changed a few things with no complaints at all. I will definitely hire them again and recommend them to anyone in the future. Thank you again for all that you did. It truly came out amazing."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

You don’t necessarily have to remove all the old paint before repainting your deck, but it’s best to remove as much as possible to ensure a smooth and long-lasting finish. Prioritize scraping off loose, peeling, or flaking paint, and sand down rough areas to create a smooth surface for the new paint to bond with.

Whether you can paint over your existing paint depends on what’s on there. Most of the time, you’ll want to sand down or scrape off the paint that’s currently coating your surface. Epoxy paint, for example, won’t let new paint stick to the surface. Latex paint is more forgiving and will accept a new coat, but a primer is recommended if you’re switching colors.

Essential tools include brushes or rollers, drop cloths, sandpaper or power sanders, and appropriate cleaning supplies. Quality materials ensure long-lasting results.

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.

Liquid rubber is great for waterproofing, but it can damage your deck if it’s not applied correctly. First, it can trap moisture in the wood if the deck isn’t completely dry before application.  Second, applying it too thickly can create a heavy, rubbery surface layer that peels and cracks under fluctuating temperatures. For the best results, ensure the wood is completely dry before application, and apply the liquid rubber in thin, even coats. A quick inspection every now and then will help you catch any issues early, keeping your deck protected and looking its best.
