"Jose is a very kind and knowledgeable professional who takes great pride in his work. We hired him to paint our carport which was damaged during a car fire. Needless to say - it was an eye sore with soot everywhere!! Jose patiently answered all of our questions, made recommendations and gave us a very fair price. He and his team arrived at our home on time and ready to work. He even helped my dad with a side project. But most importantly, we are happy that all traces of the fire are finally gone and the carport looks like new! If you’re in need of a hard working, friendly and responsive professional - I absolutely recommend you give Jose a call!"

"I have worked with these guys a while, they are good at what they do. No complaints, worked with his father as well. The whole family can paint and Sheetrock finishing as well. Warranties on all work. A lot of painters I used in the past would cause me problems in the past with homeowners but not Painting Discounters, their work last longer with better quality products."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Many decking oils can help slow down algae growth, but they don't completely stop it. These oils work by sealing the wood, which reduces moisture and, therefore, algae growth. Some decking oils also help protect against UV damage, but they need to be reapplied according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the decking stays protected.

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.

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. 

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.

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.
