Independent painting is a dream brought to life. Years of building experience to finally be able to show the world what I have to offer. My experience is not limited. I am always open to learning more as I grow my business and I always do my best to keep morale up to maintain a work environment that anyone could appreciate. One unique thing that sets me apart from the rest is my mix of height and coordination allows for me to go above and beyond to get to the hard to reach spots in a safe manner. My work includes both interior and exteriors, caulking, texturing, window glazing, cutting/rolling walls, spraying ceilings, painting/staining trim, cabinets, and doors, as well as any furniture, decor, etc. I find most painting work to be very gratifying to get to do and I'm also not afraid of a good challenge and the sense of accomplishment that goes with getting the job done, no matter the difficulty level of the task at hand.

"I recently had Austin paint my great room, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Not only did he do an incredible job, but he was also extremely friendly, professional, and organized throughout the entire process. He kept everything clean and made sure every detail was just right. One of the things I appreciated most was his helpfulness in recommending colors—his insight made such a difference, and I absolutely love how everything turned out. If you're looking for a skilled and dependable painter, I highly recommend Austin. I’ll definitely be reaching out to him for my next painting project!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Applying a topcoat sealer is not required, but it will keep the stain from fading over time. This is particularly important if the stain imparts a color or varnish. If you’re staining exterior wood, you should apply a sealant or finish to prevent weather-related issues down the line. Also, stained wood that lacks a seal won’t look as clean and fresh. A clear topcoat will give it the professional result you want.

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. 

A properly applied coat of stain will last between 3 and 8 years, depending on your climate. If you live in a place where your fence experiences a lot of moisture or high heat, your stain will last for a shorter period than in more temperate conditions. We recommend reapplying stain every 3 to 5 years to keep your wood in good condition.

Depending on factors such as weather, use, substrate condition, and type of paint used, pool deck paint should last anywhere from 1 to 5 years. Keeping the paint clean and resealing every year or two can help extend the life of the paint. Proper preparation before painting also plays a large role in how long the paint lasts on a pool deck. Paint will likely not last as long on a pool deck in poor condition before painting.

The longevity of paint on wood depends on factors like the quality of the paint, surface preparation, exposure to elements, and maintenance. Exterior paint on wood surfaces can last 5 to 15 years or more with proper care and maintenance. Interior paint tends to have a longer life span, often 10 years or more. Regular cleaning, touch-ups, and addressing any issues like peeling or cracking can extend the life of the paint.
