"I would highly recommend Pontes Painting. Rafael provided excellent customer service and his team did a great job prepping and staining my older deck. They were professional and diligent in getting the job done. I was very happy with the results."

Customers say: Super punctual

"Steve is an excellent worker on painting and repairing the exterior of our home. He took great care power washing, sanding, priming, and painting the house, deck, and new shutters. He also repaired a few spots, replaced a gutter, and installed flashing on the roof. His communication is great and he really follows through on everything. We couldn't be happier with the improvements and would highly recommend him."

"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"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

You’ll need to restrain your deck when you notice fading, cracking, peeling, or mold and mildew over a moderate to large area, or when it’s become especially difficult to clean. As for how often to stain a deck, plan to do it every two to three years or whenever you start to notice extended damage.

Whether you can paint over your existing paint depends on what’s on there. Most of the time, you’ll want to sand down or scrape off the paint that’s currently coating your surface. Epoxy paint, for example, won’t let new paint stick to the surface. Latex paint is more forgiving and will accept a new coat, but a primer is recommended if you’re switching colors.

The staining or painting process involves cleaning the deck, sanding surfaces, applying a primer (if needed), and carefully applying stain or paint for an even, lasting finish.

Yes, you must thoroughly clean your deck before staining. If you don't, dirt, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped between the wood and the new stain. This not only looks unsightly but also prevents the stain from penetrating the wood properly, reducing its ability to protect the deck from weather and UV rays. As a result, the stain won't last as long or look as good. Any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage. Always wait at least 48 hours after cleaning for the wood to dry completely before applying stain.

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.
