Customers say: Quality work

"Amazing Experience!!! I cannot say enough good things about this company. From start to finish, Paul, the owner was an exceptional communicator. Responsive, professional, honest, and genuinely committed to delivering outstanding results. His crew was incredible: talented, respectful, hardworking, and meticulous in their work. The quality of the painting was absolutely flawless, and everything was completed on time as promised. It's rare to find a contractor who combines exceptional craftsmanship, integrity, fair pricing, and outstanding customer service, but this company delivers on all of it. I will not use another painter and will recommend them to everyone I know. Simply AMAZING! Keep up the fantastic work—you've earned a customer for life."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Deck staining or painting safeguards wood against the elements through its protective layer, enhancing decay resistance, prolonging structural integrity, and improving visual appeal.

It’s necessary for paint to completely dry before exposure to rain, and that drying time varies by the type of paint used. Oil-based paint takes 6 to 8 hours to dry on average, meaning that’s the minimum time needed between the last brush stroke and the first raindrop. Latex paint dries faster at around 1 hour, and acrylic paint is even quicker, usually drying in about 30 minutes. If rain is in the forecast, check the paint manufacturer's details before laying on a new coat. 

Avoid using cleaning products that are abrasive or contain bleach or acidic components on composite decking to avoid discoloration. Early-generation Trex decking isn’t designed to handle pressure washer cleaning—and if you use them on second-generation boards, always use a low setting to avoid the risk of damage that can risk voiding your warranty.

When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.
