"I have to compliment You on your service and, in particular, Arturo and his crew. I've had many contractors work on my house; in fact this is the third time in 13 years that I've had the trim painted. Without a doubt this was the best crew of people that have ever worked on my home. They were very nice to work with and the paint job was excellent. They did everything meticulously. Completely satisfied!"

"I Hired Pro Masters to paint the exterior of my larger home in the Dacula, GA area. Christian was prompt with his quote and clear with the start times and how long the project would take. the quality of work was outstanding and his entire team were courteous, professional and show clearly that they take pride in their work. I have hired painters in the past that over promise and under deliver but this could not be further from the case with Pro Masters. My home needed a good deal of remediation and replacement of rotted wood as well as some window repairs and Pro Masters showed their aptitude at not only painting but carpentry as well! My home literally looks brand new after 17 years! The pricing was very fair for all of the remediation and painting that needed to be done. If you need to have your home painted or are looking for exterior repairs I could not recommend enough the professionals at Pro Masters."

"Steve and his team did an excellent job painting the interior of my home, so I didn’t hesitate to reach out again when it was time to have the exterior pressure washed and painted. Once again, they delivered outstanding results. I’m very pleased with the quality of the work, their professionalism, and the affordable pricing."

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.

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.

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

Yes, it is generally a very good idea to seal your deck after pressure washing. Power washing removes not only dirt and debris but also a thin layer of wood, leaving the surface exposed and more susceptible to weathering. Sealing is almost always needed after this process. After a general cleaning, sealing isn't automatically necessary if the existing sealant is still intact. You can test the surface by placing a few drops of water on it. If the water beads up, the sealant is working. If it soaks into the wood, it's time to apply a new sealant. If it has been a few years, it's wise to remove the old sealant, wash the deck, and reseal for maximum protection.

It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the deck refinishing process. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.
