"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."

"VIP Painting did an exceptional job on my home. VIP walked me through everything from siding repairs to the actual painting process. They provided honest feedback on my color selection and helped me pick out color combinations that turned out perfectly. The pricing was fair and any additional charges for repairs were discussed prior to being done. The painters were courteous and professional. Overall, my experience with VIP was outstanding! My home looks like new. I will definitely contact them for any future work and certainly recommend them to my neighbors!"

"Gilbert and his wife responded quickly and are very friendly, honest, and professional. They pressure washed the house, decks, walkways, workshop, rental cottage and blew off the roofs. They also cleaned the gutters. It took two days to complete. The result is amazing! I wish we took before and after photos; you’d be amazed too. They completed everything we agreed to for the estimated price. No surprises. We are planning to hire them in the near future to do some carpentry repairs."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Choosing the right product involves understanding deck material, desired finish, and local weather conditions. Opt for high-quality, weatherproof formulations ensuring long-term durability and appearance retention.

You’ll need to wait until the surface is completely dry, which can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours under optimal conditions. The waiting period depends on several factors, including the type of siding and the weather conditions. Trying to paint before the surface is completely dry can trap moisture under the paint, leading to bubbling, blistering, and mold growth.

Provided conditions are ideal, staining an entire deck should take as little as a couple of hours and up to a couple of days to apply and cure. Additional procedures, like sealing a deck or using additional treatments, may extend the project by a few additional days.

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.

Whether to paint or stain a deck depends on your personal preference for appearance and budget. Stain provides a natural look with a range of undertones, is typically less expensive, and may only require one coat, but it does not last as long as paint. Paint offers a sleeker finish with a virtually unlimited color palette. Both options will protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear.
