"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."

"Excellent! Many thanks ? The crews were very kind, efficient, great with details. We are very proud and eased with ViP Painting and Improvements in Tallahassee FL. It was a busy time to contract for this job and we are so grateful to have found this great group. House ? looks so much better today than it has past 2 or 3 years with hurt from weather, wind, bright sun, road dust and dirt, Florida bugs and other stuff. Our last painting was maybe 12 years ago and was great but our previous contractor is retired now."

"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

Always wait until the morning dew has dried before you stain your deck. The stain needs a fully dry surface to sink into.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.

Rags used with oil-based stains are highly flammable and can spontaneously combust in the right conditions. To reduce the fire risk, throw them in a metal container after use and add rocks on top to secure them. Add an inch of water and seal the container. Take the rags in the container to a hazardous waste factory as soon as possible.
