"I hired Lenzen Pro Painting to paint the exterior of my home along with some stucco repair. They did a fantastic job. I am very happy with the results. Everyone at Lenzen is a pro at their jobs. I received a detailed itemized estimate which none of the other companies I got estimates from did. The person who prepped my house was thorough to prevent over-spray and catch any drips. The stucco repairs came out much better than I thought they could and after painting it's very hard to tell where any repairs had been done. Oscar, the person who prepped my house and did the repairs, also painted my house. It was done very professionally. Small imperfections and problems areas around the exterior have completely vanished. My home looks great. I will use this company again for my future painting projects. I recommend this company for its professionalism, great communication throughout the project and, quality results."

"Kevin is personable, reliable and extremely competent. He did an excellent job rehabbing my deck at a fair price and in a timely manner. I would recommend him to anybody and have already discussed another project with him."

"Jordan did a great job! He kept me informed and his work product exceeded expectations. I have a 1929 craftsman home where the wall looks new after repairs and painting. He took down a plaster ceiling after a professional review of its conditions. It was the right time with the house empty to go further with the refresh than I had originally planned. He helped me find a contractor to do carpentry and ensured their work product was up to his high standards! I would highly recommend Putnam Coastal Painting."

"Don and his crew were pleasant, professional, showed up on time and communicated well with me during the project. He did a great job prepping my garage floor for epoxy painting and clear coat application. He pays attention to detail, answered any questions I had and cleaned up after working. His services are fairly priced and I highly recommend him and his crew! I liked his work so much I've hired him to prep and paint my deck!"

"We had a great experience with Nate and his crew. Nate did an exterior paint job for us on an old house with a lot of detailed prep work required. Communication was great throughout and Nate was very flexible in quoting the job in segments and handling any rot/carpentry encountered along the way. The work was done quickly, the crew was friendly and hard-working, site was kept clean throughout, and the result was great. Will definitely be using Nate again for any future paint work."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Deck staining or painting safeguards wood against the elements through its protective layer, enhancing decay resistance, prolonging structural integrity, and improving visual appeal.

If you have wood decking, there are several common deck problems that you might encounter. For example, your natural wood boards may fade over time due to things like sunlight, weather, and debris. On top of that, some types of wood decking can rot, grow mold, and attract destructive pests—including termites, carpenter ants, and woodpeckers.

Yes, you must thoroughly clean your deck before staining. If you don't, dirt, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped between the wood and the new stain. This not only looks unsightly but also prevents the stain from penetrating the wood properly, reducing its ability to protect the deck from weather and UV rays. As a result, the stain won't last as long or look as good. Any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage. Always wait at least 48 hours after cleaning for the wood to dry completely before applying stain.

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

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.
