"Bart responded quickly to my request for an estimate to seal coat my driveway. He came and said he could do the work in 2 to 3 weeks. Within 2 weeks he set the date and time. He arrived on time and did his work carefully and efficiently. He answered all my questions. Very satisfied!!"

"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."

"I had a literal “garden” growing in my gutters. Nate explained everything he would do and the solution he uses. I also had a whole house cleaning. Including garage and deck. The results are amazing. He was prompt and efficient. Will use his services again and strongly recommend."

"Nate and his team were fantastic to work with. They took the time to understand our needs and provided fair pricing for both interior and exterior painting projects. Most importantly, the team was reliable—they showed up every day and worked consistently until the job was finished. Unlike many others, they didn’t disappear mid-project to work on something else, which I truly appreciated. I highly recommend Nate and his team for your next painting project!"

"I had some concerns and reservations about hiring Extreme Painting given the short time they had been doing this business. I was very please with the professionalism of Craig and his team throughout the project. The results were nothing but quality work on the shutters, deck framing and metal spiral stairs when the project was completed. I highly recommend Extreme Painting for any outside painting project."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

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.

You’ll need to wait until the surface is completely dry, which can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours under optimal conditions. The waiting period depends on several factors, including the type of siding and the weather conditions. Trying to paint before the surface is completely dry can trap moisture under the paint, leading to bubbling, blistering, and mold growth.

DIY is possible but presents risks of uneven surfaces or improper adhesion; professionals offer expertise to ensure a lasting finish.
