"We couldn't be happier with the job that Float N Coat did!!  Jason was extremely responsive to both calls and emails about various costs (additional doors, additional coats of paint, if needed, etc.) and more than forthcoming with any issues that may bump up our estimate. But the bottom line was there really was no reason to fear -- our final bill matched the estimate and there were no "hidden" or "additional" costs included when we got it. In addition, the work is absolutely beautiful! We have tons of trim, baseboards and deep set windows, and they did an amazingly accurate job with the white trim on our very dark walls. Their wall prep work (patching, sanding, etc.) was so impeccable you can not tell where the holes had been previously. They were on time, cordial and really knew what they were doing. And lastly, when they were done, the smell of fresh paint was the only thing left behind. This was a pretty big residential job, and they cleaned up so well, it was as if they were never there.
As a client, I felt included in every step of this huge project, and that is a rare feeling when working with service companies. I've recommended Float N Coat to friends already, and highly recommend them here. If you are looking for professional painters who deliver high quality work at an affordable price, you don't need to look any further.  "

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

Two coats of stain are ideal for the best protection and aesthetic appeal. However, if your decking is made of particularly dense hardwood, you may only need one coat. If you want an intense color, two coats are ideal.

Staining pressure-treated wood is a recommended practice. While inherently resilient, it's not impervious to moisture and UV exposure. Staining treated wood is feasible and recommended for enhanced protection and longevity. Applying stain and sealant safeguards against degradation, prolonging its life span. These measures shield the wood from environmental threats while augmenting its aesthetic appeal, ensuring your investment endures the test of time.

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.
