"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

Satin paint is generally considered a better choice for woodwork—including trim, baseboards, cabinets, and doors—than flatter finishes like eggshell or matte. Its soft sheen enhances architectural details and stands up well to frequent cleaning and daily wear. Compared to eggshell and matte finishes, satin is more durable for high-touch areas because it is less porous and doesn't absorb dirt as easily. Matte finishes, in particular, are prone to scuffs and are harder to clean, making them less practical for surfaces like doors and cabinets.

When choosing between deck stain or paint, knowing what will last longer is important. Deck paint lasts longer than deck stain. With deck paint, you can get up to 10 years of coverage before you need to reapply. With deck stain, that time is significantly shorter at two to three years. 

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

The best paint for an older deck depends on the material and whether or not your deck already has a coat of paint. Generally, if your deck already has paint on it, you should choose the same type of paint when repainting the deck. For example, if an old deck has oil-based paint on it, stick with oil; if your deck has water-based paint, choose water-based paint. 

A concrete overlay is often the most cost-effective way to resurface a pool deck. To do this, you’ll need to pour a thin layer of concrete over the existing pool deck, which you can customize by stamping or painting. A stamped concrete overlay provides additional traction on a pool deck that can help minimize the risk of people slipping and falling.
