"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

Yes, it is important to wash your deck before painting to ensure the paint applies well and adheres properly. While you don't have to use a pressure washer, it is one of the most efficient cleaning methods. Pressure washing can quickly remove dirt, wood fibers, and flaked paint, getting deeper into the wood than manual scrubbing. You can also clean the deck with a stiff broom and a cleaning solution. Regardless of the method, a clean surface is essential for good paint adhesion. Make sure the deck is completely dry before applying any paint.

There’s no single paint that’s the most waterproof. Instead, there are several types of waterproof and water-resistant paints that suit different purposes. Epoxy paint, for instance, is commonly used to provide a waterproof coating to floors and decks. Masonry paint is an excellent choice for exterior walls. Meanwhile, there are waterproof acrylic paints that can be used for interior and exterior walls. It’s more about choosing the best type for what you’re painting instead of the most waterproof paint overall.

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. 

You’ll want to avoid excessively hot or humid conditions, so it’s best to apply your stain in late spring to early fall. It's also important to watch the weather forecast and aim for days when there isn’t rain expected for at least three days. For new decks, allow the wood to season beforehand for at least four to eight weeks.

Staining pressure-treated wood is a recommended practice. While inherently resilient, it's not impervious to moisture and UV exposure. Staining treated wood is feasible and recommended for enhanced protection and longevity. Applying stain and sealant safeguards against degradation, prolonging its life span. These measures shield the wood from environmental threats while augmenting its aesthetic appeal, ensuring your investment endures the test of time.
