"Al and his team at Essential Painting were fantastic. They painted the interior of our house, stained the front door, pressure washed the deck and pool patio, and repaired the deck. They provided a detailed proposal at a competitive price. They were prompt and completed the work as scheduled. They did an excellent job. The team was friendly and very helpful. I highly recommend them."

"Perfect. This was not a typical job. Normally painters paint flat surfaces. This job was to paint (stain) 62 6-sided boards installed as a pergola. I tried to do it myself but only did 4 boards before I gave up and called Target Painting. (Another company refused the job.) Gene was great, as well as all the crew. At one point, one of the painters went up on the roof to monitor the progress and inspect the hard-to-reach places. Everything was great, including the cleanup."

"I recently hired Fernanda and Willyan’s team to paint my house and deck, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, they were responsive and always on time, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. What impressed me most was their professionalism and knowledge. They patiently answered all my questions and explained each step of the process in detail. Their carpentry skills are exceptional — instead of buying expensive pre-made siding from big-box stores, they custom-built my window siding on-site, which not only saved me money but also ensured a perfect fit and better quality. Their pricing is reasonable, especially considering the high quality of their work. I also appreciated how their team strictly followed proper procedures and didn’t miss a single step or detail. Every brushstroke and finishing touch was done with care. I highly recommend Fernanda and Willyan to anyone looking for top-notch painting and carpentry services."

"Timely quote given. Project scheduled a few weeks later. Unfortunately will require some touch up painting but they left matching paint thankfully, otherwise would have been higher rating."

"SBL Painters (Shay Bollens-Lund) was the epitome of helpfulness and high-quality service! Cannot recommend him more highly and would be happy to speak to anyone that needs a reference for him. SBL sealed my new Cumaru hardwood deck in one day using the product that I had chosen and ordered, which I really appreciated. There was absolutely not one drop out of place, a very clean and high-quality job done quickly and for a price that beat others quotes by a longshot!"

"I highly recommend Urbano Painting. They applied solid stain to the cedar siding and trim of our two-story colonial and performed some repair and replacement carpentry - at a price that was lower than all but one of the quotes I received. All of their work was impeccable. Jocimar and his whole team are a pleasure to deal with and went the extra mile to ensure our complete satisfaction. Everything was done with a high degree of professionalism, from prep work to staining to daily cleanup. The whole experience exceeded my expectations, and I hope to hire them again for interior painting."

"I just had the exterior of my home painted, along with some carpentry. I am in the process of scheduling interior painting. Zuck Painting is far better than five stars!! From the first contact, it was more than evident that every step would be perfection and it was! Not one area, from quote to scheduling to finished product was less than impeccable! I cannot wait to have more work done by them and refer them to everyone I possibly can!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

For homes in areas with extreme weather, high heat, or intense sun exposure, high-quality acrylic paint is the best option. Acrylic paint is durable, resistant to both heat and cold, and provides a protective barrier with excellent UV resistance. For best results, look for acrylics that contain natural earth pigments, which are better suited for resisting sun damage. While oil-based paint is also durable, it can be prone to fading in high heat and can become too viscous to apply easily in cold temperatures. Additionally, choosing a neutral or light color like gray, beige, or white can help, as these colors absorb less heat than darker shades.

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

DIY is possible but presents risks of uneven surfaces or improper adhesion; professionals offer expertise to ensure a lasting finish.

Whether to paint or stain a deck depends on your personal preference for appearance and budget. Stain provides a natural look with a range of undertones, is typically less expensive, and may only require one coat, but it does not last as long as paint. Paint offers a sleeker finish with a virtually unlimited color palette. Both options will protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear.

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.
