"The Perfect Edge Painting crew was punctual. C.W, Donna and Dana were polite but professional. They explained they would cover furniture with light plastic sheeting and move it out of the immediate work area. Heavy drop cloths were taped down on the floor. Cracks and drywall imperfections were filled, smoothed and sanded. Once the trio started painting , they stopped to ask if my wife and I were happy with the color and look of the new paint. They painted our entry hall, dining room, family room and kitchen. When they were done they cleaned and swept up. Apparently this crew has worked together for many years . They have high standards, their attention to details is impressive and their finished product is first rate. I was impressed. I would use them again and recommend them without hesitation."

"The best contractor and company I have ever had do work at my house. They replaced my deck and actually made improvements to the deck during construction. The High Quality Work was done in a very timely manner, in fact they finished a day earlier than promised. Not to mention they only used top grade lumber not the run of the mill cheap stuff. They always cleaned up their mess and left the. Job site clean. I would highly recommend this company for any decking work around your home."

"Outstanding results. It was so much more than expected! Donald and his crew just did an outstanding job on removing our old fence, building the new, custom fence and cleaning up afterward. He also made sure that our every concern was answered and taken care of! Thank you Donald and great crew! We couldn't be happier!"

"I was very happy with the finished product. They installed new flooring throughout, repaired drywall from water damage, painted throughout entire house, installed ceramic backsplash tile. I was very satisfied with the finished product. I was on a tight timeline and Nick and his crew met my deadline and exceeded my expectations. I will continue to use him going forward."

"We nneded to have our home's front exterior trim repainted. Jim Labbe was very prompt, pleasant and professional in his dealing with us and the crew he had working on our project. During the final inspection, when we realized that the window frames and adjoining trim were painted together, preventing windows from open normally, Jim immediately cut through the paint, and helped us check window openings. After completing our job, we received a personal handwritten note thanking us for our business. We would definitely Five Star Painting to others."

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

By applying protective finishes and using durable materials that withstand weather and time.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.

Yes, it is important to wash your deck before painting to ensure the paint applies well and adheres properly. While you don't have to use a pressure washer, it is one of the most efficient cleaning methods. Pressure washing can quickly remove dirt, wood fibers, and flaked paint, getting deeper into the wood than manual scrubbing. You can also clean the deck with a stiff broom and a cleaning solution. Regardless of the method, a clean surface is essential for good paint adhesion. Make sure the deck is completely dry before applying any paint.

Liquid rubber is great for waterproofing, but it can damage your deck if it’s not applied correctly. First, it can trap moisture in the wood if the deck isn’t completely dry before application.  Second, applying it too thickly can create a heavy, rubbery surface layer that peels and cracks under fluctuating temperatures. For the best results, ensure the wood is completely dry before application, and apply the liquid rubber in thin, even coats. A quick inspection every now and then will help you catch any issues early, keeping your deck protected and looking its best.

The need for a topcoat on a painted deck depends on various factors, primarily the type of paint used and your desired level of protection. Many premium deck paint formulations are self-sealing, eliminating the necessity for an additional topcoat. These paints often have built-in additives that substantially protect against moisture, UV rays, and everyday wear and tear.
