"Eric and his team did a fantastic job painting the exterior of our house! The estimate was reasonable and work was completed with quality. Eric paid close attention to details. He repaired some areas on the house where wood had rotted and it looks great. Eric was on site every day. He had good communication and was always responsive. I would definitely hire HPO Painting again."

"Excellent. Anthony's team was timely, professional and provided a very high quality product. The existing stain was 9 years old and considerable repair of loose and cracked boards was needed especially on the south elevation. Preemo completed a complete color change and addressed all the siding issues without additional carpentry costs. Lots of compliments and inquiries from neighbors."

"Saul was on time and went immediately to work. I was extremely impressed by his professionalism. He and his assistant did not miss a thing, from cleaning up the cobwebs up high I couldn't reach, to covering every square inch for flooring beneath the paint areas to sanding and prepping the walls before painting. I do not think I could give a higher rating to this company, they are truly the best of the best!"

"Angel did a great job on refinishing my interior wood window frames on two large corner windows. On day one he came and stripped and put down the new stain. Let this dry out over the weekend and came back on Monday to apply the water based varnish. No bad fumes and a wonderful touch up job with the paint around the wood. I am very pleased with his work and will definitely contact him in the springtime for more work."

"This is the second time we’ve used steadfast, they painted our deck summer 2018. If you are looking for a painting company that will do a perfect job that will last, hire steadfast. I was so happy with how our deck held up over the winter, I decided to have them paint the outside of our house. Anthony is so terrific to work with and all of his employees are polite and do a great job. My neighbor was so impressed by the work that they did, how nice the employees got along and talked to each other, she hired them to paint the outside of her house too!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.

Always wait until the morning dew has dried before you stain your deck. The stain needs a fully dry surface to sink into.

You should seal your deck every one to two years, but you’ll also need to clean and repair your wood deck throughout the seasons. You may want to hire a local house cleaning service to sweep and clean the deck thoroughly. These cleaning services cost around $50 per hour.

Inspect your deck at least once a year, and if you notice any damage or rot, expect to spend about $10 to $50 for simple DIY fixes or about $2,000 for professional repairs on more extensive damage.

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.

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.
