"I hired Charlie and son, Tony, of Pinnacle Painting to power wash and re-stain my front deck, paint a door, trims, touch up my shed and they did a great job and are very fairly priced! I was unhappy with the original color they stained the deck with (my fault), and they worked with me to find a stain that we loved and re-stain it all in the same week and at a very fair price. I am very detail oriented, and they did a great job, and touched up areas prior to payment, that I had concerns with. I will hire them again!"

Customers say: Quick response

"Mr. Ellis and his young adult crew were very professional in their approach to our project. Mr. Ellis told us what his crew was going to do and when they were going to do it. We wanted our slate sided home painted and these folks did a great job. They are the only business that still rolled and brushed paint. As far as we are concerned they are the best."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.

Here's the deal with leaving used rags covered in oil-based stain lying around in a pile: Depending on the conditions, these rags can take just an hour or up to a few days to combust. The source of ignition is caused by trapped heat that can be compounded if the rags are near a heat source.

You’ll need to wait until the surface is completely dry, which can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours under optimal conditions. The waiting period depends on several factors, including the type of siding and the weather conditions. Trying to paint before the surface is completely dry can trap moisture under the paint, leading to bubbling, blistering, and mold growth.

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.
