"J.H. Painting Services did great exterior work on my home this weekend. I had exterior siding and deck power washed, front door painted, and brick foundation painted. All work was done at a high level of quality and in a timely manner. Communication for planning each of the tasks easy and reliable. Contractor arrived on time. I highly recommend for power washing and paint jobs."

"It was great. Spiro and Dionysios did and amazing job. I contracted them to not only paint but to patch the walls and and clean up the door. They went above and beyond. In fact, they even fixed the door frame that was rotting even though it was not in their contract. I have used many painters before and these guys are the best I ever had."

"This company is awesome! They painted my house inside and out flawlessly! They also installed gorgeous vinyl plank flooring and carpet. I can’t say enough about the quality of the work! Workers were great and very efficient. The only glitz was in communication and that was partially because I’m difficult to reach. Would definitely give them a high recommendation!"

"Marathon Painting & Staining did a fantastic job painting my exterior block foundation walls and three exterior porches. I met at the house with Bob, who is very professional and pleasant, as we discussed the work and schedule. The painters arrived as expected and were prompt, courteous and professional. The result far exceeded my expectation. Marathon transformed my house into a real gem. Bob and the painter returned to check the work and make sure I was pleased with the job. I highly recommend Marathon Painting & Staining and would certainty hire them again."

"They covered our entire 1/2 acre property which a few years back was the runner-up in the Baltimore Sun's best gardens review. Edged and cleared out all of our beds, spread 10 yards of mulch, and rebuilt a 70 yard long french drain. Our neighbors commented "It's looks like something you see in a magazine." We agree! Amazing team -- so polite, attention to detail, and hard working. Love these guys!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.

It’s necessary for paint to completely dry before exposure to rain, and that drying time varies by the type of paint used. Oil-based paint takes 6 to 8 hours to dry on average, meaning that’s the minimum time needed between the last brush stroke and the first raindrop. Latex paint dries faster at around 1 hour, and acrylic paint is even quicker, usually drying in about 30 minutes. If rain is in the forecast, check the paint manufacturer's details before laying on a new coat. 

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. 

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. 

Yes, they provide design insights that enhance space utility and visual appeal.
