"We are extremely pleased with every aspect of the painting of our home. Juan is a perfectionist and he made sure his team did the best job. They were all hard working, very polite, didn't rush, and went above and beyond to be sure everything was to our liking. They even offered some great ideas and suggestions to help make our house look fantastic! We have a big cedar home with 9 doors. And a big cedar fence along with our garage door. It was a big job and we are very impressed with how well it went and turned out. I highly recommend this company. You will not be sorry. We will be contacting them again to do some interior painting."

"Jose and his team were great. Very professional and friendly, and the newly stained deck looks awesome. They pressure washed one day and came back to sand and put two coats on in one day. We’ll see how it holds up but I feel good about it."

"We absolutely love Luis's professionalism, kindness, and honesty. When Luis approached me on Angi, to be honest, I was not sure, simply how little review he has. But like any great business or profile, it needs to start somewhere.... and I am so glad we hired Luis to paint and stain our deck. When we were getting estimates, many people have given all kind of estimates. Some will only do one coat, some won't even sand for us. But Luis came in with saying he would do everything with a very competitive price. Besides, everything that he shared with us about how to treat the wood or types of paint is on point (I did my own research too). Last but most importantly, Luis is not pushy at all, he provide his professional opinion and lets you decide! So glad we found Luis, and we are already talking about using him again for our fence. Bot side of our neighbor were so impress with our 'new' deck and want to engage Luis too."

"I met Rafael over a year in a gas station near my home when I noticed the signage on his truck. I had damaged plaster and paint from a leak and asked about his company and took his card. Time passed due to covid lockdowns, etc. so I didn't call him until recently. This company is exceptional. They come when they say they will - on time, and they complete their work quickly. They do excellent work, and clean up afterwards. Would I hire him again? YES - in fact Lilian Touch is now doing some deck repair and painting on the outside of my home. It's not quite finished yet, but it is looking GREAT! I am more than pleased and would recommend them to anyone needing interior or exterior work done."

"Steadfast was hired to paint  the stained wood trim in my house white, and to paint color on the walls.  Anthony and his entire crew were quite skilled and accurate with their painting technique. I have sharp, clean lines throughout the house; everything looks lovely!  They were prompt every day, thoughtful and courteous, and easy to be around.  Everyone put in a full day's work for the two weeks it took to get everything painted.  I appreciated how nicely they cleaned up each day and then did a final clean-up at the end of the job.   I found it a pleasure to do business with them and would use them again.

"I had rainwater coming in through a door and window frame. Dario and Juan knew right away that the problem was coming from where my deck meets the siding. They removed deck boards to discover a gap in the siding. Checked for water damage (thankfully no damage). Sealed the gap. I have not had any rainwater issues since. Price was totally reasonable. We discussed other future repairs/projects for my home and I look forward to working with them again."

"I've used Fortune Restoration in the past when I managed condominium buildings. After seeing the cedar siding work they did on a friend's house I decided to call Tom Fortune for my own residence. Tom took the time to listen and called his lead carpenter to discuss the various siding and trim options. He was able to write the estimate on the spot. They started quickly and there were no delays once they began. Their crews were communicative and professional. Tom also stopped by regularly to inspect the workmanship and make sure I was satisfied. Fortune removed the existing metal siding on the house, replaced the soffit and fascia with PVC which was quite labor intensive, sided the gable ends and small front dormer with cedar, stained the new cedar, and painted all the new trim and exterior windows. They left the area in very good condition. I'm very pleased with their responsiveness and quality of the work and recommend them without reservation."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Painted decks typically require a new coat about once every ten years. In between new coats, it's best to maintain your deck by regularly removing debris, washing it down with non-abrasive cleaners, and staying ahead of structural issues, such as loose boards and rotting wood. In some cases, painting a small section of your deck affected by damage or the sun can lower your costs and workload.

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. 

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.

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.

Whether to paint or stain a deck depends on your personal preference for appearance and budget. Stain provides a natural look with a range of undertones, is typically less expensive, and may only require one coat, but it does not last as long as paint. Paint offers a sleeker finish with a virtually unlimited color palette. Both options will protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear.
