"On the day the painting was to start,  Mr. Lane arrived before his crew and went over everything with us.  Then his crew arrived on time and began preparations to paint.  The painting took 4 days as it was a very large area with high ceilings.  They were always on time and very polite and professional.  They were the neatest and best painters we have ever experienced.  Everything was covered or removed from the areas before sanding and painting began and put back in place when the job was completed.   We did hire them from the reviews on Angie's List.  Lane & Sons were not the lowest nor the highest estimate we received, but we were impressed with the reviews.  The cost included the paint.   We are very satisfied with Lane & Sons Painting, Inc., and will be using them again in the near future.

"After some initial frustration with the estimator failing to get back to me regarding a breakdown of the work to be done, the owner really stepped up. First, he agreed to give us a “painter for a day.” Second, after we agreed to have Sheldon/Sons do the work, they worked closely with us as the project needed substantial revisions. After stripping/powerwashing the deck, it was determined that the deck was made with mahogany, a rare and expensive wood for decks. Rather than simply proceeding with application of the solid stain we originally requested, Scott Sheldon had his Sherwin Williams rep come out to determine the best option for refinishing the deck. And then Scott came to meet with us personally to discuss our options. We ended up using an Exotic Hardwood stain for the boards and rail caps. And after some steady rains kept the workers away for a few days, they got the project done promptly once the weather cleared. We are very thrilled with the outcome!"

"Wow! Not sure how to say it more...just wow! Edwin, Leo, and the Pena team are amazing. They painted the exterior and interior of my home. Took about 2-weeks which isn't bad for such a big job. They were pleasant, experienced, and went over and beyond my expectations. On the exterior of my home, they found rotten wood behind my chimney (which I never would have seen) and replaced the wood immediately. In the interior of my home, they moved heavy furniture to paint behind. Absolutely amazing! I chose wisely with Pena Brothers. I would hire them again without hesitation. I highly recommend Pena Brothers Construction. Thank you Edwin and team for a job well done. Extremely pleased with the outcome."

"Our house is finished with a Drvit Exterior Insulation and Finish System (EIFS). We needed a company to repair cracks and bulging in the exterior walls. We got several estimates - E.M.Texture was very competitive. What impressed us most was how patient and transparent Rob was. He explained what needed to be done and provided several alternatives depending on the scope of the work. He was very responsive and answered all of our questions. The crew was very prompt, professional and courteous. They cleaned the work area every evening. The finished product looks terrific. I can't over emphasize how terrific E.M. Texture was to work with. We highly recommend them."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

No, it is not okay to paint over rotted wood. Painting over rotted wood will not address the underlying issue and can trap moisture, leading to further decay. Properly addressing the rotted wood by removing and replacing or repairing the damaged areas is necessary before you can even consider painting.

Yes, beginners can use a paint sprayer, but there is a learning curve. It's important to go slowly, read the instructions thoroughly, and spend some time learning the technique. Watching tutorial videos for your specific paint sprayer model can be very helpful. Before starting your main project, practice on a scrap surface to get used to the sprayer and avoid common issues like overspraying, which can cause drips, bubbles, and other imperfections. For safety, always wear a mask and gloves, and be careful not to touch the sprayer's tip when it's in use, particularly with high-powered airless sprayers.

You don't need to seal your deck after painting it because most exterior paints are waterproof and weather-resistant. While stealing is not necessary, it can add an additional layer of protection.

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

Choose based on climate, finish preference (glossy, matte), and durability. Tailored coatings also provide longevity.
