"Danny's Pro Painting was great from the beginning. They gave me a quote quickly and, when I accepted the quote, they scheduled quickly, as well. The quote included power washing all painted surfaces, caulking, repair to any rotten wood, painting the house, garage and gutters, and sanding and staining our front porch ceiling and front door entrance. We have a large, old house that has a lot of windows, so I expected the job to take a week. The work was done in three days and every worker was great at what they did. Danny's crew was big enough that he was able to move folks around to get the job done quickly. The quality of the painting is great. Our house and garage look really clean and beautiful. Because the house is so large, the cost might be considered high by others, but I was willing to go with Danny's because of all of their great reviews."

"They responded to my call immediately and were very open and honest about costs/expenses. We had our bathtub refinished today, so not sure how this will wear, but it looks great. The man who came out to do the work was on time, worked straight through, and left everything clean."

"I have used The Painting Group but personally and professionally for many different projects. Most recently the painted and stained the pavilion that covers our outdoor kitchen. Their attention to detail and professionalism is unmatched. Their prices are beyond reasonable. Their staff (looking at you, Bre! 😎) and owners are friendly and fantastic. We loved our experience with The Painting Group and we will continue to use them for all of our painting needs in the future!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths

Provided conditions are ideal, staining an entire deck should take as little as a couple of hours and up to a couple of days to apply and cure. Additional procedures, like sealing a deck or using additional treatments, may extend the project by a few additional days.

It's okay to walk on a newly painted deck after about four to six hours as long as the weather has been dry. Be sure to wait at least 24 hours before you place any outdoor furniture or grills on a freshly painted deck, though.

The best type of paint for concrete exterior surfaces like concrete porches, steps, or walkways is high-quality exterior-grade paint with strong weather resistance. Acrylic latex blends with tiny anti-slip particles will help create an anti-slip coating for your concrete porch. This type of paint will stand up best to the elements, especially rain, snow, and ice. An exterior epoxy will also help strengthen your concrete porch.

Yes, staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan, typically by five to 10 years. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and rot over time. Applying a treatment creates a protective shield that helps prevent splintering, fading, and decay, preserving the wood's strength and appearance. A combination stain and sealer often provides the best protection, as it soaks into the wood grain rather than just sitting on top. This offers superior defense against UV damage and rot and lasts longer than a sealer alone. To maintain the wood's natural look, consider using a near-translucent stain. You should plan to reapply the stain or sealer every two to three years.
