"I am so very thankful Painting Innovation LLC came to my exterior house painting rescue. I had a previous painter who spent 3 MONTHS, while I was working, NOT doing his job. FIRED the previous painter. Too late in season for Innovation Painting to fix and redo the job. With in 7 days this spring. The work was completed to my satisfaction! I am grateful that they took on this project because the stupid previous painter used a mix between painters tape and MASKING TAPE which was a nightmare for these painters to remove. I am now hanging my window boxes and grateful that My home is Painted and gorgeous. Many thanks Angel Reyes. Hagerman, Idaho"

"Tony is a great communicator. His response time was quick to all the questions I had. We wanted casings painted and wanted them to match the same brand of paint, its color, and texture. He said it that was doable. Him and his partner showed up on time, stayed busy working the entire time, and finished multiple window casings. One masked and the other painted behind them. They cleaned up nicely, vacuumed the floor for us, and left our home in pre-project condition (i.e. clean). There was a couple touch ups the next day because the wood absorbed paint on some edges. Tony came back right away, touched them up, and even spent the extra time to review and touchup to his level. I didn't see certain things, but his professional care did. I liked the extra attention to detail and initiation for wanting to check all the windows agian and not just the ones I noticed. Would happily hire them again for any painting needs I have in the future. Thank you so much!"

"We hired another company to paint our inside and that did not work out. We got a estimate from Jay and went forward with him fixing our home. They also gave us a estimate for the kitchen cabinets. They finished both in a week and I am so so happy with the kitchen cabinets and the interior!! Thank you so much!!!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

You’ll want to avoid excessively hot or humid conditions, so it’s best to apply your stain in late spring to early fall. It's also important to watch the weather forecast and aim for days when there isn’t rain expected for at least three days. For new decks, allow the wood to season beforehand for at least four to eight weeks.

Two coats of stain are ideal for the best protection and aesthetic appeal. However, if your decking is made of particularly dense hardwood, you may only need one coat. If you want an intense color, two coats are ideal.

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.
