"Roberto, and the crew did an outstanding job power washing and repainting our home. We have just moved on to the Cape from Colorado and the house we purchased was in needed of new paint. Roberto worked around our tough schedule, his own very busy schedule and the schedules of other contractors plus the challenges of the weather. When it all came together he and his crew were able to completely power wash, sand and repaint our new home and it now looks fantastic ! Roberto was very professional, he communicated and his crew cleaned up after each day. Nataliya in the office was also very helpful, ensuring we were keep informed. we would recommend them!"

"I hired Byron Wilmot of Delight Painting to refinish my deck. It had been left in very poor condition after being power-washed by another company, and I was discouraged. Byron assured me that he could have the deck looking great, which it is, now thanks to him. He gave me a very reasonable estimate and began work right away! I truly am impressed with his hard work and dedication to getting the job done right. I only wish I had hired Delight Painting sooner, as they also do interior jobs. My deck looks like new and the price was great!"

"We needed a complete re-patining of interior walls and trim, including the stairs. The work was done well and on time. My only negative feedback is that the owner was a bit too enthusiastic about getting us to write a review. He asked me multiple times until I finally said I would review the job but we were in the midst of preparing for an international move and could not do it right away. Otherwise he was responsive and followed up to see if we were happy with the work."

"Work went well. I feel it could have been better if I hadn't rushed the contractor to get it done. But overall, the yard looks good and the flowers are now blooming beautifully. Following his directions, the new grass has also sprouted up nicely. I've received several compliments from passers-by. I would hire this person again."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

Always wait until the morning dew has dried before you stain your deck. The stain needs a fully dry surface to sink into.

Waterproof paint creates a barrier to hold back moisture, but it doesn’t eliminate the source of the water. If you hire a basement waterproofing contractor, many will tell you that waterproof paint is only a temporary solution. On average, you can expect it to last from six months to two years in a wet basement before deteriorating.

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.

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.
