Customers say: Super punctual

"A team of dedicated professionals completed the power washing of the north side of our house and a complex restyling and refinishing of our deck that involved removing the deck railing and staining the deck. We are pleased with the work of Baystate. We simply cannot stop admiring the renovation of our deck and would call on Baystate in the future whenever we have a painting project."

"We hired Erivan to paint the interior of our house. He offered several good suggestions. Our job required wallpaper removal and subsequent prep work. Within two weeks, the rooms were fully painted and look great. He kept the work area clean. Erivan and his team were a pleasure to work with"

"Work was performed exactly as discussed and agreed to (match existing paint colors) at estimated cost. Start was delayed at our request due to high heat and humidity, with no complaints. Work was further delayed through no fault of Arch Painting due to continuous wet weather. Once a good weather window finally occurred, the work was performed quickly with no impact on us. We were totally satisfied with the quality of the work and the finished product."

"We can not say how happy we are with G and M Painting. Matthew and his team did a fantastic job! They repainted all of our Kitchen and Bathroom cabinets and they look brand new. When we bought this new Condo, we missed out on picking which cabinets we wanted. We always had white and just LOVE my kitchen now... it is so bright and beautiful. Matthew and his team are very professional, kind, HARD working men. I would give them 10 Stars if I could. Thank you, G and M Painting! until we met again! Butch and Betty"

"We were so pleased with the professional care we received from Eric from start to finish. The painting crew were great, and knew what to do. They finish the job on time, they did everything and more than we expected. They cleaned up completely and used special attention not to step on plants, etc. We can honestly say these has been the best experience with a paint company we have ever had. If you are considering them feel confident they will do an excellent job. Our antique home and picket fence has never looked better."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, professionals offer slip-resistant options for added workplace safety.

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.

Yes, staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan, typically by five to 10 years. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and rot over time. Applying a treatment creates a protective shield that helps prevent splintering, fading, and decay, preserving the wood's strength and appearance. A combination stain and sealer often provides the best protection, as it soaks into the wood grain rather than just sitting on top. This offers superior defense against UV damage and rot and lasts longer than a sealer alone. To maintain the wood's natural look, consider using a near-translucent stain. You should plan to reapply the stain or sealer every two to three years.

The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage. 

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.
