"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

Yes, you must thoroughly clean your deck before staining. If you don't, dirt, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped between the wood and the new stain. This not only looks unsightly but also prevents the stain from penetrating the wood properly, reducing its ability to protect the deck from weather and UV rays. As a result, the stain won't last as long or look as good. Any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage. Always wait at least 48 hours after cleaning for the wood to dry completely before applying stain.

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. 

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.

Deciding whether to stain or paint a pool deck depends on your budget, desired look, and the deck's material. Both options can work. Paint offers a wider variety of color options, provides excellent water resistance, and can last longer. However, it requires a primer and can eventually fade or peel. Stain is often cheaper, easier to apply, and penetrates the wood for a more natural look and longer-lasting finish. It also has great water resistance. The downsides are fewer color options and the need for a sealant. The choice can also depend on the deck material; for example, staining may be a better option for concrete as it bonds well and lasts longer than paint.

For the longest-lasting exterior paint, consider acrylic or enamel (oil-based) paints. Acrylic paints, including acrylic latex and acrylic enamel, are known for withstanding harsh weather and sun exposure. Enamel-based paints are also one of the most durable options available. While latex paint is common, it typically has a shorter lifespan than acrylic or oil-based options. The paint's finish also affects its durability; a higher gloss finish is generally more durable. For resistance to moisture and cracking, matte and satin finishes can be effective, while a high-gloss acrylic or oil-based paint offers a combination of maximum longevity and durability.
