"I had my driveway seal coated by John Johnston, and I must say, I am very impressed. The process was quick and efficient, and the end result looks amazing. The sealant has really brought out the rich color of the asphalt and has made it look brand new again. The team was professional and courteous, and I felt confident in their work. All in all, I highly referred John Johnston to anyone looking to get their driveway seal coated."

"Charlie Stewart was first to respond. He came to see what I wanted done, gave me several good ideas. He quoted a price that I felt was reasonable. He had his worker here within 2 hours to pressure wash the exterior. The next morning 2 high energy workers showed up and, without any breaks, taped, scraped, filled, primed, and painted the whole project by 3pm. They cleaned up everything and were so polite and efficient. Charlie was totally open and honest, there were no added, surprise costs, and we are so happy with this job. We highly recommend Charlie Stewart and Paradise Painting and his workers, we give them a HIGH 10 rating. Great job guys!!!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Avoid using cleaning products that are abrasive or contain bleach or acidic components on composite decking to avoid discoloration. Early-generation Trex decking isn’t designed to handle pressure washer cleaning—and if you use them on second-generation boards, always use a low setting to avoid the risk of damage that can risk voiding your warranty.

The best time to paint your deck is when temperatures are neither too cold (below 60 degrees) nor too hot (above 85 degrees). Always paint your deck when there’s no risk of rain. For fast-drying paint like acrylic or latex, ensure your deck can dry for at least four hours. Oil-based paints take longer to dry and may require 48 hours to completely cure.

The longevity of paint on wood depends on factors like the quality of the paint, surface preparation, exposure to elements, and maintenance. Exterior paint on wood surfaces can last 5 to 15 years or more with proper care and maintenance. Interior paint tends to have a longer life span, often 10 years or more. Regular cleaning, touch-ups, and addressing any issues like peeling or cracking can extend the life of the paint. 

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

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.
