"Painters arrived exactly on time and accomplished all tasks the same day. The manually stripped the deck and applied two coats of stain. They carefully cleaned and then painted the foundation concrete as it had got dirty over the years. They also scraped, caulked and painted a large bump-out window off our living room.

"The job went well. I purchased the stain/paint for them because I know what brand name stain I wanted and the color. Even with humid and wet conditions E&B was flexible and finished the project in just over a week. I would definitely use them for any painting job I have in the future."

Mr. Thomas answered my voice mail request and came to our house for an estimate the same day I placed a call to his business. He gave us a good price that included 2 coats of paint and some repair work.   We signed a contract and he left paint palettes with available colors and gave us plenty of time to chose.  Then he stopped and placed samples of the colors we chose on the walls.  I decided one color (I had chosen) was too dark and he went right to the paint store and brought back my 2nd choice to put on the wall. 

Mr. Thomas and his crew painted 7 rooms in our home in 4 different colors.  They moved furniture out and back, covered up everything, tried to minimize the disruption to our lives as best as possible, and finished the job much earlier than originally estimated.  There was a glitch with one color as I had written down the wrong number for the paint but Mr. Thomas just went and got the color I wanted without a fuss.  Our home looks beautiful! 

Mr. Thomas and his assistant Dwight did an excellent job of painting.  They showed up on time and worked hard all day.   They were nice guys and very professional.  They were kind to our pets who were wandering around.  Mr. Thomas kept us informed of his plans each day.   Cleanup was meticulous at the end of each day. 

If you need painters and want it done right, call Mr. Thomas.  We will definitely call him when it's time to paint the ceilings and trim. He also does power washing so we plan to call him to clean our deck.

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage. 

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.

Always sand a deck before repainting so the wood is smooth and ready for paint. While you do not need to fully remove paint before repainting, sanding helps remove any areas with weather and sun damage. Sanding also helps remove chipped or flaking paint and opens the wood pores to improve paint adhesion.

It is not always necessary to remove old stain before restaining a deck. If the previous stain is in good condition and is compatible with the new stain, you may be able to apply a new coat after thorough cleaning. However, if the old stain is in bad condition, flaking, or peeling, it is best to remove it completely to ensure an even surface and proper adhesion for the new coat. Staining over a damaged layer can lead to an uneven finish and poor penetration. For best results, test a small area first and consult the stain manufacturer's guidelines.
