"It went very well. Jose and his team did an excellent job painting all parts of the exterior of my single home from columns, stair railings, long fence and 30 window trims. They replaced tons of rotten wood from all parts of my home and window trims with long-lasting PVC too. I am very impressed by how careful and neat they did everything, very professional. Since this is an enormous project $9000, they spent a whole week at my home. They came early on time to work and started at 8 and stayed until 5, 6, and even 7 sometimes! They also cleaned up everything afterwards and left my yard spotless. They did not leave until the job was done. It's been a month since they completed the job. I look at my fence and my stair railings and window trims at times, I have a big smile on my face. The paint job looks really smooth and neat and stay on strong! I am very grateful to Jose and his team and so happy that I found a hard-working, professional team. As we all know, finding great people to do a marvelous job isn't always easy nowadays. I am so happy with the result I told Jose I would like him and his team do interior painting of my home soon too."

"AW Painting has done several jobs at my house. This time Carlos and crew repaired drywall and painted. Outside they pressure washed the patio, deck, front porch and driveway plus prepped and painted porch metal railings. As usual, workmanship is excellent and price is fair."

"Edward and his team repaired, power washed and stained our deck, stained our fence, sealed nail holes in our siding and touched up the paint on the siding. The quote was very reasonable and the work was completely quickly. Edward also took the time to answer all of my questions via email or text and performed touch-ups. I would hire this company again."

"The owner came for a free estimate and explained all that would be done. He was very personable and down-to-earth;  his demeaner was sincere . He did not require any down payment for the work. He contacted the company who initially stained my deck to find out the exact products and stain color that was used since it was important to me that the same color be used.  I don't think any other company would have done that; they would have made the owner do it. I was impressed!  I asked for references of previous work he had done and I was sent 4 names, email addresses and phone numbers of previous clients and their  responses were all excellent. The workers came the day they said they would and performed all of the job as scheduled.   I found some areas where the stain had not taken as well and they returned right away to resolve the problem to my satisfaction before any payment was accepted. The owner also stopped by afterwards to observe the work done and make sure it was satisfactory.

"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!"

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

For homes in areas with extreme weather, high heat, or intense sun exposure, high-quality acrylic paint is the best option. Acrylic paint is durable, resistant to both heat and cold, and provides a protective barrier with excellent UV resistance. For best results, look for acrylics that contain natural earth pigments, which are better suited for resisting sun damage. While oil-based paint is also durable, it can be prone to fading in high heat and can become too viscous to apply easily in cold temperatures. Additionally, choosing a neutral or light color like gray, beige, or white can help, as these colors absorb less heat than darker shades.

Beyond liquid rubber, homeowners can use sealants, stains, membranes, or tapes as waterproofing options. Oil-based or water-based sealants soak into the wood, creating a moisture-resistant barrier. Waterproofing stains—available in transparent, semi-transparent, and solid colors—add both protection and style to your deck. For heavy-duty waterproofing, deck membranes and waterproof tapes can be applied under the deck boards to direct water away from the structure below. Whatever method you choose, clean and prep the deck first to ensure the best, longest-lasting results.

It’s best to use an exterior latex acrylic paint to promote maximum adhesion to composite decking. This flexible paint type can better cope with the natural expansion and contraction that can occur with composite deck boards. Oil-based paints won’t adhere as effectively and are more likely to crack and peel as the boards flex. Testing whether your chosen paint will stick on an inconspicuous section or a spare board is a good idea.

While the answer varies based on weather, 10 a.m. is a good time to start painting. The dew will have dried, meaning there’s no moisture on the house, and the temperature will likely be moderate and the sunlight less direct. Starting mid-morning should also give you enough daylight and pleasant weather to work on the job for several hours.

You’ll need to wait until the surface is completely dry, which can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours under optimal conditions. The waiting period depends on several factors, including the type of siding and the weather conditions. Trying to paint before the surface is completely dry can trap moisture under the paint, leading to bubbling, blistering, and mold growth.
