"We had our house trim and large deck painted, and it was by far the best experience I’ve ever had! Everyone was so friendly and amazing. I think the best part was that they took so much pride in their work!! I will refer them, and use them for any painting in the future! The cost was also a great value!"

"I had a fantastic experience! Matt and company were here on time and did a great job! I had no idea my rooms could look so good! They scrape the peeling paint, patched all the holes and imperfections with joint compound, and sanded everything and left the walls even. They covered everything not paint-able with plastic and drop clothes in order to prevent paint splatter and cleaned up really well when done!"

"This was a multi-phased project involving a large home, with considerable coordination with other vendors. We chose Target because they were willing to replace a dozen windows for us; three of which were large crescent windows involving carpentry work. They also were able to replace some exterior trim in a cost effective manner. We found Target Painting responsive, and very professional. All estimates were very detailed. For the project phases they had control of, they started and finished on time. The window manufacturer was the only fly in the ointment- taking 4 to 6 weeks to send windows that were occasionally arrived broken, or the wrong size (multiple times.) It took a lot of persistence on Target's part to see it through. The company is large enough to support several crews, all of whom were employees and not subcontractors. This allowed them to be very responsive to certain requests, such as a last minute interior repair following a water leak. There were a few issues that had to be addressed- it would be unreasonable to expect otherwise in a project this large. For example, the deck was not stained properly- but Target quickly acknowledged it and took care of it. Near the end of the project, we came up with a relatively short punch list, and everything was addressed. A special shout out to the two Fabiano's, one acted as the interior QA person, often touching up the work of others. The other was the carpenter who took care of all the window repairs and exterior trim work. Also to Jayleen in the home office, who was instrumental in following up with the troublesome windows manufacturer. And last, to Gene Williams, the Sales Manager, for providing accurate information and good advice throughout, and ensuring that all things came together."

"The Evolution Painting Company was very cooperative about completing the project within the dates we have specified. The work they did was excellent, the workers arrived on time every day and did not leave until the job for the day was done. The job supervisor checked the work at the end of each day and they payed attention to all the detail. They were polite and courteous and very eager to please. We are thrilled with the work that they did with painting our house and staining our decks."

"Erivan has done a lot of painting over the years for our triple decker - exterior and interior. This summer he painted our rental unit and as usual did a wonderful job - he shows up on time, is very neat, and does a very professional job. He also just power washed and stained our first floor porch, painted some new window trims that we'd just had replaced, and also repainted some of the trim around the porch even though we hadn't asked him to do so. It looks great! Erivan takes great pride in his work and we always feel like he's taking care of our home as if it is his own. He is also a very warm and friendly person."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Provided conditions are ideal, staining an entire deck should take as little as a couple of hours and up to a couple of days to apply and cure. Additional procedures, like sealing a deck or using additional treatments, may extend the project by a few additional days.

An exterior paint job typically lasts between 5 and 10 years, though this can range from 3 to 17 years depending on several factors. The longevity is influenced by the quality of the paint and primer, the quality of the application, the local climate, and the type of surface being painted. For example, paint on wood siding may need to be redone every 3 to 7 years, while painted brick can last up to 17 years. Aluminum siding often needs repainting every 5 years.

The opposite is actually true: Wood stains tend to appear lighter when they’re fully dry. However, stains may darken as they weather and oxidize with age. Stains might also darken on surfaces left in direct sunlight, as UV rays can break down pigment particles and cause them to darken over time.

Yes, it is important to wash your deck before painting to ensure the paint applies well and adheres properly. While you don't have to use a pressure washer, it is one of the most efficient cleaning methods. Pressure washing can quickly remove dirt, wood fibers, and flaked paint, getting deeper into the wood than manual scrubbing. You can also clean the deck with a stiff broom and a cleaning solution. Regardless of the method, a clean surface is essential for good paint adhesion. Make sure the deck is completely dry before applying any paint.

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.
