"I am completed satisfied with Spiros Painting. I am thrilled with how the house now looks and am impressed with the quality of their work. Also dealing with Spiros and his son Dionynios was a delight. They paid attention to the details and consulted with me regularly to make sure that I was happy with how everything was going. They were focused on making sure that the job came out how I wanted it.
The job took six days and they used a mechanical lift to reach the higher floors. They worked full days. Spiros worked the entire time and was assisted by his son Dionysios or another assistant most of that time. They cleaned up at the end of each day.
Several of my neighbors have complemented me on the work, and I fully expect that some of them will be using Spiros Painting in the future. I have recommended them to several people in the neighborhood.
Given the time the job took, it was nice to see that they made an effort to get along with my neighbors. One of my neighbors has a baby and asked that they not operate the lift late in the day and they complied. Another neighbor had a basement window which was peeling and they painted it for free.
I guess the highest compliment is that I am going to use them again. Next summer I am planning to use them to paint/stain my decks.

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

You can paint over old paint on a concrete porch. For the best results, you should first clean the surface and remove as much paint as you can. A power washer is helpful here, but you’ll also want to scrape as much of the old paint away as possible. Then you should prime the porch before repainting it.

Deciding whether to stain or paint a pool deck depends on your budget, desired look, and the deck's material. Both options can work. Paint offers a wider variety of color options, provides excellent water resistance, and can last longer. However, it requires a primer and can eventually fade or peel. Stain is often cheaper, easier to apply, and penetrates the wood for a more natural look and longer-lasting finish. It also has great water resistance. The downsides are fewer color options and the need for a sealant. The choice can also depend on the deck material; for example, staining may be a better option for concrete as it bonds well and lasts longer than paint.

Hiring a contractor or professional deck refinisher is the best way to ensure your deck is properly stained. They have the expertise, tools, and supplies to do the job quickly and efficiently. However, staining a deck is a manageable task for most homeowners, and doing the job yourself can save money. Just keep in mind that DIY staining is a long process requiring physical strain, so it may not be the best option for everyone.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.

The best paint for an older deck depends on the material and whether or not your deck already has a coat of paint. Generally, if your deck already has paint on it, you should choose the same type of paint when repainting the deck. For example, if an old deck has oil-based paint on it, stick with oil; if your deck has water-based paint, choose water-based paint.
