"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."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

You can refresh a painted deck by either giving it a thorough cleaning or refinishing the deck altogether. Chipped or faded paint, as well as extensive damage, often calls for a new finish. To do this, remove the original coat of paint with a sander and add either a new coat of paint or a stain to protect the wood below.

Most gutter painting pros also specialize in complete home exterior painting. You may save by making your gutter painting part of the cost to paint the exterior of a house in its entirety. Many people have all parts of their home exterior painted simultaneously to keep everything looking equally fresh. Consider having walls, trim, porches, shutters, and doors painted as well.

Rags used with oil-based stains are highly flammable and can spontaneously combust in the right conditions. To reduce the fire risk, throw them in a metal container after use and add rocks on top to secure them. Add an inch of water and seal the container. Take the rags in the container to a hazardous waste factory as soon as possible.

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.
