"I chose Northshore Painting based on the number of positive reviews on Angi. Phillip and his crew exceeded all expectations. The quotation process, payment and all of our interactions were professional. Phillip's attention to detail and guidance set his business apart. In addition to exterior paint, we also had them pressure wash our house and concrete, replace siding and woodwork, install gable vents, secure a handrail and fix one of our doors. There was also an issue with the paint color, which we changed between the first and final coats. Phillip said that it was important that the end product was exactly what we wanted; and it is. The house looks great. Phillip was onsite, working or checking on his crew everyday. They worked every weekday for three weeks to get the job done and always left the site clean. A number of our neighbors have contacted him to do their work. Northshore Painting has our highest recommendation."

"Jorge, Douglas, and their crew did an excellent job. We were on a really short timeline, and they were able to get all the work done. They were very pleasant to work with, and we will definitely be using them for all our painting and remodeling needs in the future!"

"I recommend Diamond House Painting, LLC without any reservation whatsoever. They arrive on time every single day, were polite and personable, and did excellent work for a very good price. They worked long hours to build me a beautiful deck in as short a time as possible without sacrificing quality and repairing and repainting my bedroom ceiling. My neighbors and family have been commenting on what a great job they did and now I have to have Thanksgiving dinner on my new deck (weather permitting)! Haha. Hire them. You will not be sorry."

"SES always impresses us with their quality and attention to care but never before have we been as blown away by their professionalism as with our most recent project. Project involved removal of a metal spiral staircase, removal of cat urine saturated flooring, resealing and leveling of the floor, tiling, construction of a new wooden staircase, painting and staining of wooden staircase and (a request made after seeing how transformative this project was proving to be) cleaning, patching and painting of the walls and trim. Due to some hiccups, the project extended past the provided timeline and SES agreed (and again, this is after we threw a potential wrench in their plans making an additional request after the project commenced) to begin covering the cost of the continued boarding of the cats. In short, I cannot shout loudly enough our appreciation for SES!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.

Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years.

You should refinish your deck to maintain its appearance, durability, and longevity. Refinishing your deck protects the wood from foot traffic and the elements. It also helps extend its life span by keeping rot, mildew, and termites at bay. By maintaining your deck, you can avoid the cost of replacing your deck sooner. A refinished deck also looks great and restores some of its original beauty.

Yes, you must thoroughly clean your deck before staining. If you don't, dirt, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped between the wood and the new stain. This not only looks unsightly but also prevents the stain from penetrating the wood properly, reducing its ability to protect the deck from weather and UV rays. As a result, the stain won't last as long or look as good. Any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage. Always wait at least 48 hours after cleaning for the wood to dry completely before applying stain.

When choosing between deck stain or paint, knowing what will last longer is important. Deck paint lasts longer than deck stain. With deck paint, you can get up to 10 years of coverage before you need to reapply. With deck stain, that time is significantly shorter at two to three years.
