"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.

"Antonio Ayala arrived on time to paint my doors. He and his helper were polite and very professional in their work. They scraped the old paint off, applied primer and the first coat of paint on Saturday. Due to rain, they couldn’t come back to apply the second coat until Wednesday. They arrived on time and completed the job in good time. The area around the doors was protected by a tarp. They, also, cleaned the area so no dust could get on the painted doors. I am very pleased with the excellent work that was done. I would definitely hire them again."

"After previously doing a wonderful job painting the EXTERIOR of our house, Frank was hired to paint the entire interior as we readied the house for sale. The prep work included removing a huge mirror from one wall and various drywall repairs. Frank did a wonderful job and the results were excellent. Would recommend."

"I've had several companies come and give me quotes for the replacement of my roof. So when Chris (sales person) came (last quote) and went over everything from how to what and even had samples of all the materials, I was thinking, oh man this is going cost a lot, but it didn't. It was a lot less than what I was thinking. The project manager, Eric was great! Although, some nails and a little debris was left, the workers did a great job. I was not able to see the roof until the next morning and when I did, it was beautiful. Thank you Chris and Xpress Exterior Design!"

"it went very well. Luis is a real pro—and it was easy to have him and Diego in the house. they went about their business in a very organized, but low-key way. the prep work was very well done, so i had confidence that we would end up with a neat paint job. there are 9 doors and much woodwork around the carpeted stairs, so i was a little worried about paint on the carpet. no problems at all, and they cleaned up well each day. and, it took less time than we had planned for. we couldn’t be happier with the paint job."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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 opposite is actually true: Wood stains tend to appear lighter when they’re fully dry. However, stains may darken as they weather and oxidize with age. Stains might also darken on surfaces left in direct sunlight, as UV rays can break down pigment particles and cause them to darken over time.

If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood’s grain for best results.

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.

Satin paint is generally considered a better choice for woodwork—including trim, baseboards, cabinets, and doors—than flatter finishes like eggshell or matte. Its soft sheen enhances architectural details and stands up well to frequent cleaning and daily wear. Compared to eggshell and matte finishes, satin is more durable for high-touch areas because it is less porous and doesn't absorb dirt as easily. Matte finishes, in particular, are prone to scuffs and are harder to clean, making them less practical for surfaces like doors and cabinets.
