"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

The opposite is actually true: Wood stains tend to appear lighter when they’re fully dry. However, stains may darken as they weather and oxidize with age. Stains might also darken on surfaces left in direct sunlight, as UV rays can break down pigment particles and cause them to darken over time.

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. 

Eggshell and satin finishes are best for porches because they sit in the sweet spot between scuffable matte and distracting high gloss. Your porch sees a fair amount of wear and tear, so you don’t want paint that’ll show every mark like matte, but you don’t want to be blinded by glossy paint in the sun either. Eggshell and satin have durability and a look that sits nicely in the middle.

You’ll need to wait until the surface is completely dry, which can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours under optimal conditions. The waiting period depends on several factors, including the type of siding and the weather conditions. Trying to paint before the surface is completely dry can trap moisture under the paint, leading to bubbling, blistering, and mold growth.

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
