"Great work from start to finish. At the initial consultation Kyle talked through a few options and provided a quote without any gotcha surprises. Throughout the job Pro Coat Painting communication was consistent as I was on the mainland when the job started and the weather in Volcano can make the viable times for exterior painting tricky. They got the house looking great and protected in time for the next rain season."

"I’m very happy with the work done painting my backyard rainwater catchment tank by Aina Paint and Powerwash. Joey, the owner, took the time to properly prepare the surface and use the right materials so the finish will hold up over time. He matched the color perfectly to my house, and the tank now blends in beautifully and looks like it was always part of the design. The work was done carefully and professionally, and I would absolutely recommend Joey and Aina Paint and Powerwash to anyone looking for quality workmanship and attention to detail."

"BJ is an honest contractor, something that is rare these day's. He and his crew are on time and they do what they say they are going to do. BJ goes above and beyond what is stated in the contract to come back and finish little details that aren't even required of him. He simply does the right thing for whatever the situation is. I am wishing now that I had taken before and after pictures but I simply did not. I highly recommend him for any job."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.

Eggshell and satin finishes are best for porches because they sit in the sweet spot between scuffable matte and distracting high gloss. Your porch sees a fair amount of wear and tear, so you don’t want paint that’ll show every mark like matte, but you don’t want to be blinded by glossy paint in the sun either. Eggshell and satin have durability and a look that sits nicely in the middle.

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.

Most gutter painting pros also specialize in complete home exterior painting. You may save by making your gutter painting part of the cost to paint the exterior of a house in its entirety. Many people have all parts of their home exterior painted simultaneously to keep everything looking equally fresh. Consider having walls, trim, porches, shutters, and doors painted as well.
