"I COULD NOT POSSIBLY BE ANY HAPPIER WITH HOW WONDERFUL THE HOUSE LOOKS! MARIO AND HIS CREW TAKE GREAT PRIDE IN DOING AN EXCELLENT JOB AND WORKED WITH ME EVERY STEP OF THE WAY TO MAKE SURE THE END RESULT WAS WHAT I WANTED. HONESTLY THE FAUX WORK MARIO DID IS EVEN BETTER THAT I HAD HOPED FOR. MARIO, ED AND JAY ARE ALL VERY PROMPT, HARD WORKERS, ALWAYS POLITE AND VERY HELPFUL WITH SUGGESTIONS. THEY ALWAYS CLEANED UP BEFORE LEAVING FOR THE DAY, AND BY STARTING IN THE FAMILY ROOM MADE SURE THAT THEY DISRUPTED OUR HOME LIFE AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE. MARIO TAKES GREAT PRIDE IN FINISHING A JOB ON TIME, AND THE ONLY REASON THEY NEEDED AN EXTRA DAY IS BECAUSE I MADE MY REQUEST TO FAUX THE FRONT HALL (IN METALLIC PAINT, IT LOOKS FANTASTIC!!) AFTER THEY HAD ALREADY STARTED TO WORK. I WILL DEFINITELY USE THEM FOR MY PAINTING NEEDS IN THE FUTURE, AND AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE WHO WANTS ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND EXCELLENT FAUX WORK DONE."

"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."

"Jasmine and Angel were very well informed on painting, wood, power washing, carpentry. They were fast and efficient. The house, deck and railings look fabulous! They are very nice, friendly and have a strong work ethic. Las Mela's Painting is a winner and I will certainly hire again and refer them. Rich and Jan S. in Wauconda"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Hiring a contractor or professional deck refinisher is the best way to ensure your deck is properly stained. They have the expertise, tools, and supplies to do the job quickly and efficiently. However, staining a deck is a manageable task for most homeowners, and doing the job yourself can save money. Just keep in mind that DIY staining is a long process requiring physical strain, so it may not be the best option for everyone.

You should refinish your deck to maintain its appearance, durability, and longevity. Refinishing your deck protects the wood from foot traffic and the elements. It also helps extend its life span by keeping rot, mildew, and termites at bay. By maintaining your deck, you can avoid the cost of replacing your deck sooner. A refinished deck also looks great and restores some of its original beauty.

You don’t necessarily have to remove all the old paint before repainting your deck, but it’s best to remove as much as possible to ensure a smooth and long-lasting finish. Prioritize scraping off loose, peeling, or flaking paint, and sand down rough areas to create a smooth surface for the new paint to bond with.
