"Honestly so impressed with the work Dallas and his crew did. I got a very light/bright colored house and Dallas was up front in the beginning about possibly needing an extra coat of paint (aka more product). Lots of attention to detail. Dallas even helped me brain storm a color for the front porch. They even fixed a loose railing on my back deck!! I absolutely love my little yellow house."

"It is rare these days to find someone so extremely hardworking and punctual, who always does what he says he will do. His house painting prep work was painstaking and detailed, and he carefully selected thee correct types of paint for each different surface. There were several rotten boards on my old deck that his crew carefully replaced, as well as repainting the whole deck. I was very happy the the job and would gladly hire Mr. Bautista again for future projects."

"We hired this contracting firm for two separate projects. The first was our 3 story deck - when we bought our fixer upper the deck was really cool but needed some loving. Tim from Make a Choice was so positive and really got the job done. He brought all the railings up to code, fixed the rotted footings with new concrete piers, and kept the place clean. Easy to communicate with and his team was so professional and nice - even to the point that when we asked that they keep noise down during our kids' naptime - they complied. Deck feels so sturdy now. Second project was our roof. Ours was old and leaking. We called Tim's brother Chuck over and he quoted us a roof repair with architectural shingles. Quote came in several thousand less than another trusted roofer we knew and since we had a good experience with Make a Choice in the past we went with them. Only issue was that we had a loss of communication in that we needed our skylights taken out and team working on it did not get that memo. However, issue brought to attention and they took care of it. We will probably be hiring this firm again to do some new siding and painting in the near future."

"Baumgras Consultants LLC is by far the best contractor that I have ever dealt with in my 55 years. Levi Baumgras is the owner and proprietor of this company and by far the most professional and reputable person I have ever dealt with. He did all the work and had it completed in 2 days. The contractor that did our original fence must have paid people to put good reviews on their site, because we had checked out their reviews and they had 4 and a half stars out of 5, but the job that was done by by the original contractor was the worst thing we've ever had done. However, the work that was done by Mr. Baumgras was by far worth every penny and done ? times better than the first contractor. I would recommend Baumgras Consultants LLC to anyone else that needs a great, and professional job done. He was very respectful and very polite, and was very respectful of our property."

"Jose and his crew did a fantastic job! Even though they had to battle the weather (rain and temp), they still got the job done in a timely manner. We were getting new gutters so they removed all of our old ones, repaired problem areas on our deck and chimney, including installing flashing. We also went from a very dark trim color to a bright gloss white so it wasn’t the easiest to cover but they got it done beautifully. Jose is very curious, professional and extremely knowledgeable. I would definitely use them again for any paint project that comes up in the future."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Always sand a deck before repainting so the wood is smooth and ready for paint. While you do not need to fully remove paint before repainting, sanding helps remove any areas with weather and sun damage. Sanding also helps remove chipped or flaking paint and opens the wood pores to improve paint adhesion.

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.

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. 

For homes in areas with extreme weather, high heat, or intense sun exposure, high-quality acrylic paint is the best option. Acrylic paint is durable, resistant to both heat and cold, and provides a protective barrier with excellent UV resistance. For best results, look for acrylics that contain natural earth pigments, which are better suited for resisting sun damage. While oil-based paint is also durable, it can be prone to fading in high heat and can become too viscous to apply easily in cold temperatures. Additionally, choosing a neutral or light color like gray, beige, or white can help, as these colors absorb less heat than darker shades.

A wood deck requires annual cleaning and regular inspections for loose or broken boards, nails, and screws. It should be refinished by applying a stain or sealer every two to three years to protect the wood from water damage, rot, mildew, and sun fading. The exact frequency can depend on the climate and the deck's exposure to sun and moisture. If your deck is painted, it will need repainting approximately every 10 years. Signs that your deck needs refinishing include faded, splintering, or warping boards.
