"Sean and his team do terrific work and are very reliable. I highly recommend them. I have been using them for a number of years now for my deck to be power washed and stained. If any boards on my deck need to be replaced, they do that as well ... and they do a great job!"

"We hired Gerlyn to rebuild our deck, replacing old wood with composite material. Angel and his crew were very professional in their approach to the job and made sure they did everything right. The deck is beautiful, and frankly more solid than before. The price was very reasonable, they started the project within a week of our agreement, and were on the job 8 to 5 every day until the project was completed. I will gladly turn to Gerlyn Services for my home improvement projects in the future."

"MQ Painting was very professional in every aspect of the work they completed for us. They power washed every surface prior to painting. All surfaces were sanded or scraped as needed. Two coats of stain we applied to all surfaces. The garage doors were stripped, stained and varnished. The deck railings were completely replaced and painted on a very large deck. Originally, Jose thought only a portion of the railing spindles needed to be replaced. As the job proceeded it was apparent that all spindles and railing wood needed to be replaced. The only additional charge was for the materials, not for labor even though every spindle needed to be individually cut from larger pieces of lumber. MQ was the only painting contractor who bid on our paint job who was willing to do all the woodwork repairs needed on the deck. Other contractors said we'd need to have someone repair the deck and then they would paint it. We appreciated working with just one contractor. Their painting and carpentry work was top notch. All workers were neat, punctual and conscientious. All materials and tools were picked up and stored at the end of every work day. I discovered MQ Painting through Angie's List. I highly recommend MQ Painting and would absolutely hire them again."

"It went wonderfully, Anthony was a true professional and came out to do what would be considered a "small job". He pointed out things I had never noticed on the walls and overall did a fantastic job. There was a possibility we would need more paint, and offered his painter's discount if we needed it so that we wouldn't have to pay full price. We ended up not needing more paint, but I would definitely hire again, and plan to have my exterior and deck looked at in the spring."

"In 2017, I hired Salvador and his crew to renovate and remodel our basement. The work consisted of installing drywall, insulation, canned lighting, electrical work, installing a few HVAC air vents and return, and carpet. From the beginning, I knew this project was going to go very smoothly. Salvador paid close attention to what I wanted and ensured that this project will be completed in a timely matter. His responses to requests or questions were very fast which made me feel even more comfortable. Every little change or request I made during the remodel, he accepted and did it without making it seem like it was a big deal. His prices were VERY fair for the amount of work that was involved. With past great experience, I hired Salvador and his crew again (2018) to remodel our Master Bathroom. From start to finish, his crew were very hard-workers. Since we couldn't use our Master Bathroom during the remodel, we used our guest bathroom. Next day, we woke up to a leaky ceiling from the main floor. Salvador's crew discovered the root causes on where the guest shower was leaking. Without hesitation, they offered a solution and immediately began to rectify the problem. After the problem was fixed, they continued working on the Master Bathroom. The final result was absolutely perfect. One thing I can't express enough in words is their attention to detail. From demolition to clean-up, Salvador's company is one of the hardest working companies I know. High Quality Painting does not skip any corners and renovates according to city building codes. They will also not let anything go unnoticed. During the bathroom remodel, they discovered that one of our bathroom fans was not connected to vent to the outside. They brought this to my attention and fixed this problem. These are the important details I look for in a company. A company that doesn't turn the other cheek and decides to fix any issues that may cause a future problem. Pictures don't do justice, but I have posted a few on the great work High Quality Painting provided. I wish I had more projects to do because High Quality Painting would be the first I would call."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

No, it is not okay to paint over rotted wood. Painting over rotted wood will not address the underlying issue and can trap moisture, leading to further decay. Properly addressing the rotted wood by removing and replacing or repairing the damaged areas is necessary before you can even consider painting.

The best paint for an older deck depends on the material and whether or not your deck already has a coat of paint. Generally, if your deck already has paint on it, you should choose the same type of paint when repainting the deck. For example, if an old deck has oil-based paint on it, stick with oil; if your deck has water-based paint, choose water-based paint. 

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.

The staining or painting process involves cleaning the deck, sanding surfaces, applying a primer (if needed), and carefully applying stain or paint for an even, lasting finish.
