"The team at ABC Painting & Carpentry did an amazing job on our home. They washed it, replaced some trim and clapboard, primed, and stained/painted everything. They were thorough and worked from 7am until dusk each day. The crew is very skilled, meticulous and courteous. The owner is very responsive and flexible. Our 32 year old house looks new again! I highly recommend ABC Painting & Carpentry."

"We were very impressed with the work that the Life in Colors completed for us! Ozzy arrived promptly for every scheduled appointment. He provided a written quote quickly, started the job exactly as scheduled, and communicated about progress on the work everyday. His staff, particularly Eddy, were professional and clarified all expectations. The quality of the work was excellent. The worksite was cleaned up each day and after the work was completed, the staff cleaned up completely! We highly recommend Life in Colors!"

"Willyan and his crew did an exceptional job from day 1. Everything was explained up front and done professionally. He even replaced some broken solar deck lights at no cost which was a pleasant surprise that surpassed my expectations. Our home looks better than ever and have his team to thank for that. Highly recommend contacting Willyan for your next painting project if you want to be treated with “first class” service."

Customers say: Terrific value

"As a detail-oriented home owner who aspires to perfection, I expect all aspects of a project to be completed to my satisfaction. I could NOT be more pleased with the professionalism, the craftmanship, the attention to detail, the arrive early, leave late in the day ethos, the go-the-extra mile work ethic of the experienced team at Gold Painting. From the thorough and prompt quote from the owner, Alex Silveira, to the unusually thorough and efficient work of team members Tony (project leader) and Rui (his brother), Nelci and Yuriel (his son), Hector, Milton and Sylvano, the painting project exceeded my high expectations. As is my practice, the vetting of Gold Painting revealed a highly reputable 15+year old company: an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau (with glowing recent reviews), in-force copies of Liability and Workman's comp insurance, registration with the Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs, alignment with a prominent local developer (Finnegan) and a recent "Gold" standard review from a Lexington neighbor. Our historic pre-Civil War property required the TLC that the Gold Painting crew delivered. Minor carpentry (above and beyond expectations), thorough power-washing, scraping, priming (oil) and top coating (Sherwin Williams Duration latex), and meticulous clean-up. Both parts of the ambitious two-part project (front of the barn (rustic red) & street-facing side of the house (extreme white) + painting and hanging 13 solid wood shutters-satin black); driveway-facing side of the house that required covering many windows) + painting the front door were completed in just four days. As an unexpected but highly welcome bonus, Tony had Nelci and Milton paint the front porch decking. I solicited quotes from five contractors and my wife and I are more than delighted with the flawless result. We will hire the exceptional Gold Painting crew again in the Spring for additional carpentry and paint work. I look forward to working with them again!"

"Patrick and team worked on an interior painting project to paint doors, trims, walls and ceiling. They did an awesome job. Patrick was very detail oriented and ensured all steps are followed in the process to get the best out come with clean looking finish. They were very independent and moved the stuff around where needed and kept the work going. Very happy with their work and would hire again or refer to friends and family."

"We were extremely satisfied by the excellent job Joe and his team did on our home. From replacing rotting trim to sanding peeling paint and then painting our large home and painting the deck, we were very happy with the excellent job. They were very professional and hard working. They worked very long hours and cleaned up the area well. We are very happy with the results."

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

The best time to paint your deck is when temperatures are neither too cold (below 60 degrees) nor too hot (above 85 degrees). Always paint your deck when there’s no risk of rain. For fast-drying paint like acrylic or latex, ensure your deck can dry for at least four hours. Oil-based paints take longer to dry and may require 48 hours to completely cure.

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.

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.

It's okay to walk on a newly painted deck after about four to six hours as long as the weather has been dry. Be sure to wait at least 24 hours before you place any outdoor furniture or grills on a freshly painted deck, though.
