"I highly recommend Josh and Ayla, owners of A&J Painting. They did an incredible job staining the exterior Cypress wood at our office in Davenport. They worked on our project for about two weeks and were very particular and careful every step of the way. I really appreciated how well Josh and Ayla cleaned up every night before leaving and both have work ethics that are unmatched. I will certainly be using A&J Paining in the future. Thanks again Josh and Ayla!"

"Gabriel gave me what I considered a fair bid for replacing our deck using Trex decking materials. He and his crew were very careful in their work not to damage other landscaping in the area in which they were working. They carefully measured and cut so that the finished product looked very professionally done. They helped in providing all the materials information so that I was able to submit a warranty request to Trex as a residential customer to get the maximum, transferable warranty from Trex for all the materials that came from them. Their final cost was exactly what Gabriel had bid. I will definitely use this contractor for other work at my home."

"We were nothing but impressed from our first interaction with Ken and Linda Buford.  They returned our initial call immediately and even came out that night to assess the project's time and cost.  We received a written estimate and paint samples in very timely manner.  Once we scheduled the job, Ken and Linda worked as a team to prep and paint the area.  Their attention to detail was evident from the start of the work.  The work was extremely thorough and done quickly.  I would consider myself a "picky" client and they definitely exceeded my expectations. The edging and trim work were clean and the lines were impeccable. They use 2 coats of quality paint.  They cleaned up everything and left no messes. I appreciated that they listened carefully to what we wanted done, gave us some suggestions and delivered a beautiful end result.  There was nothing I would have had them do differently.  Anymore, I don't think you find many talented, true professionals, like Ken, who can deliver such stellar results.  I would recommend them beyond a shadow of a doubt.  In fact, because they did such a fantastic job, we are having them paint the outside of our house as well."

"Did a good quality work at a fair by the deadline. This is a big deal especially considering this was a rather quick deadline and I have a busy schedule. He told me exactly what to expect in terms of outcome and even identified items to consider that I had not done so. Trustworthy. He didn’t try to overcharge me and was actually quite straightforward with the price. This is a hardworking man and even accommodated my strict early deadline by working after hours. He is pleasant in person which is a bonus. Would definitely use him again."

"We feel they went above and beyond on our install of interior doors, closet doors and exterior door. We have a quirky house and they made it all look great. They were nice, courtious, friendly, showed up on time and cleaned up so you didn t even know they were here. I asked for more business cards to pass out to friends and family. We highly recommend this company."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

It’s best to use an exterior latex acrylic paint to promote maximum adhesion to composite decking. This flexible paint type can better cope with the natural expansion and contraction that can occur with composite deck boards. Oil-based paints won’t adhere as effectively and are more likely to crack and peel as the boards flex. Testing whether your chosen paint will stick on an inconspicuous section or a spare board is a good idea.

It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the deck refinishing process. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.

An exterior paint job typically lasts between 5 and 10 years, though this can range from 3 to 17 years depending on several factors. The longevity is influenced by the quality of the paint and primer, the quality of the application, the local climate, and the type of surface being painted. For example, paint on wood siding may need to be redone every 3 to 7 years, while painted brick can last up to 17 years. Aluminum siding often needs repainting every 5 years.

Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint. 

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.
