"Amazing! Mr. Gonzales (Wilbur’s Painting) and his assistant were exceptionally courteous. He kept me informed on the progress and time frame. They wore booties on there shoes and were focused on the work. I wanted to save a little bit of money and said I could prime and paint myself, he was flexible and adjusted his original price. I would definitely rehire! And they were on time!"

"I highly recommend J.H. Painting Services! He did an amazing job on a house I’m preparing to sell and completely transformed the space. The biggest difference was the kitchen cabinets. They had previously been painted and were in really rough shape and I honestly wasn’t sure how good they could look again. After J.H. Painting finished them, they looked like brand new real wood cabinets. The transformation was incredible. They also painted the living room, dining room, hallway and one of the bedrooms and everything came out beautiful. He power washed the exterior of the house and the decks as well, which made such a noticeable difference. Taurino put a lot of care into his work and you can tell he takes pride in what he does. The house looks completely refreshed and so much more ready to put on the market. I would absolutely recommend J.H. Painting Services to anyone looking for quality painting and home improvement work!"

"I had a great experience with Miguel Team LLC. for my deck staining project. The team was professional, punctual, and very detail-oriented. They took the time to properly prepare the deck and ensured the stain was applied evenly, which made a huge difference in the final result. My deck now looks refreshed and beautifully finished. They also kept the work area clean and communicated clearly throughout the process. I truly appreciate the quality of their work and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and high-quality deck staining services."

"We hired Edward and his team to repair our deck, essentially removing the old wood boards and replacing them with Trex composite. He was very accommodating with our schedule and returned all phone calls promptly. The team worked efficiently and the deck looks beautiful. It was a pleasure working with Edward and his team."

"Excellent. Bruce, the painter assigned to do the work, started by putting up plastic sheeting to completely cover and protect the kitchen cabinets, cupboards, and appliances as well as to seal off the entrances to the rest of my condo. He then repaired the water-stained areas in the ceiling (involving treating or replacing damaged/discolored areas as appropriate) and allowed the products used to dry. Finally, he applied two coats of paint over the entire ceiling. The entire job was finished in less than a day."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Always wait until the morning dew has dried before you stain your deck. The stain needs a fully dry surface to sink into.

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. 

DIY staining or painting is manageable with proper preparation, including safety measures, necessary tools, and adherence to safe weather conditions for application.

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.

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.
