"The management and staff at Spiros Painting were 100% professional from beginning to end. They responded immediately to my request for an estimate. They had someone come out to look at the project site the next day. I had called another painting company who told me that they could not provide an estimate unless I assured them that I would sign a contract within 30 days. Spiros made no such stipulation. Spiros began the work about a week after I accepted their proposal. This was partly to accommodate own my schedule; they could have started earlier. The rear wall of the house is difficult to access, but Spiros was able to deal with the situation without bringing in any special equipment. They scraped and patched the wall thoroughly. I have had experiences with painters in the past whose scraping amounted to a light rubdown. Spiros was very conscientious about removing ALL of the peeling paint. The company was patient with me when I changed my mind a couple of times before the work started, about the color I wanted. The work was finished in two days, partly because it was interrupted by rain. The company cleaned up thoroughly after the job was done. I'm very pleased with the work and the workmanship."

"Making a decision to paint the kitchen cabinets and the
kitchen walls and the hallway at the same time was a little overwhelming. It
took a long time to decide on the right white for the cabinets (I kid you not
here are a MILLION shades of white) and then the walls (even more colors to
choose from) and then the hallway (not too bad since it matched the kitchen
color on the chart) but there was never any decision making about who would
paint. Sheldon and Sons painters have painted multiple parts of the our house
from my husband?s office to the deck surrounding the entire house (twice the
last time with special paint and always with a power wash) to the house itself
and the patio furniture, Sheldon and Sons was the go to people. From the
estimator to the painters inside and out it was a great experience. All the
painters were professional as well as kind and patient as they completed the
jobs. The painters who did the deck just plain enjoyed eithers company worked
like one person. The painter who just completed the kitchen was extremely neat
in all he did in the house to remove cabinets, sand them then repaint all in
the house without a bit of mess outside his work space. He was so polite and
careful with all the furniture that I was very impressed (so ask for Walter). Seriously
no matter who you get as your painter from Sheldon and Sons you will be
pleased, impressed and happy with the outcome. Oh and you will appreciate the
price for the product you will get.

"Job was bid as 2 days, prime bare wood, paint 2 coats enamel. Price seemed fair for that work. The good: workers on-time and pleasant, all surfaces were well sanded, final finish looks good. The uncertainties: no primer in sight. Asked painter and he said primer only used on new cabinets not repaint jobs. There was some pealing and bare wood exposed on cabinet doors. Enamel paint can says to prime bare wood before top coat. Job bid for 2 days and finished in 6 hours because they only allowed 30 minutes drying between enamel coats. Paint can says dry 4 hours between coats. Maybe will be OK because it was a warm dry day. Won't really know if job will stand up for a couple years. Based on 3 workers for 6 hours, allowing $100 for paint that works out to over $90 an hour. Even with overhead that seems excessive and I feel like I am overpaying for what actually occurred as opposed to what was bid."

"DVR was the best remodel work I have ever had. Did my upstairs, main floor and basement. The work was detailed and precise. Including new fireplace. Outside work included my pier, decks, stairs and paving work. They stand behind all their work as they responded quickly to any concerns I had. Price was by far the best I found. Lastly, they are good people too. That is what I liked the best."

"They did a great job with the power wash of my patio and deck. They then painted the deck and I love the color and finished look. They also painted the shutters on the front of my  house which also turned out looking really good. I plan to hire them this spring to paint my hallway. They are so professional and very friendly. Look folks, they go above and beyond and are worth every penny! I highly recommend them!"

"Cleveland Gordon did an excellent job. He showed up when he said he would, gave me good advice, priced my job fairly, left my deck looking great and well-protected for the winter, and has a delightful personality to boot. I have already recommended him to several friends and neighbors."

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. 

Adding a second coat of stain to wood can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.

Oxygen bleach uses hydrogen peroxide as a base and won’t harm wood when using it as a cleaner. On the other hand, chlorine bleach breaks down wood at the cellular level and causes irreversible harm. Although you may not see immediate damage to wood after exposing it to chlorine bleach, its strength and integrity are now compromised.

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.

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.
