"We contacted Pro Coat Painting LLC, the owner Kyle came to our house for a free estimate, he was very knowledgeable, knew exactly what needed to be done, he gave a written and detailed quote that same evening (reasonable pricing as well). We hired them to paint the exterior of our house. Kyle and Chad arrived to our house on time, they both were very friendly and hit the ground running. They repaired cracks, peeling paint and holes in our house and even primed/rust coated the electric meter. Kyle and Chad did an awesome job on our house and we are very impressed. They completed painting our house in three days. The quality of their work is great and we would definitely recommend Pro Coat Painting LLC to anyone. We are very happy and satisfied customers with the entire painting project. Great job!"

"I am very satisfied with the work done by Aina Paint and Powerwash. Cindy understood my apprehension because of a previous bad experience with a contractor. She put me at ease by providing any documentation I requested, such as liability insurance, references, etc. Joey, the painter, was excellent. He showed up in the morning before I was even up. He worked hard and diligently until the job was done. I was so impressed that I also had him paint my large patio cover and water catchment as well. I highly recommend Aina Paint and Powerwash and would definitely hire them again."

"BJ did an overall excellent job on the remodel. He communicated with me every morning about what was to happen that day. His crew was on time and did the work in a professional manner. The quality of the work was excellent throughout the project. Once the job started, I requested some additional work to be done. BJ was able to complete the additional work without any delays. BJ invited me to dinner one night with some of his crew to watch the NBA finals at one of the local resorts. I enjoyed BJ and his crew very much. My wife and I hope to hire BJ next year to remodel the upstairs bedroom and bath."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Essential tools include brushes or rollers, drop cloths, sandpaper or power sanders, and appropriate cleaning supplies. Quality materials ensure long-lasting results.

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

Whether to paint or stain a deck depends on your personal preference for appearance and budget. Stain provides a natural look with a range of undertones, is typically less expensive, and may only require one coat, but it does not last as long as paint. Paint offers a sleeker finish with a virtually unlimited color palette. Both options will protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear.
