"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 hired Rein Green Painting to repair and paint the exterior of a seasonal cottage in addition to replacing and sealing the lattice work at the base of the house - they've been very pleasant to work with and quite responsive - jumping on the project and completing it quickly - and they've done a great job, I recommend."

"We are very happy with the work A & B Painting completed on our house... Brian was a great communicator throughout the process. We were particularly impressed by the time spent on getting just the right paint and stain matches for the job. Brian and Joe completed the work on schedule and left our house looking brand new!"

"Zach was great. Weather dependent of course he stuck to his estimate of time and promised work. JH Paint did a great job cleaning the surface wood and double coating with the stain color of our choice. They cleaned up when done. I would definitely hire them again with no reservations."

They cleaned up nicely when they were finished. Very personable crew - you will be happy you hired them. Shanna deals with the business end and responds quickly to inquiries."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can waterproof any wood that has not already been treated. A good way to test this is to splash some water on it. If the water starts to bead up, the wood is treated and most likely doesn’t need another coating.

Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years.

Wood stain is not flammable after it dries. The solvent in wood stain is what causes the liquid form to be highly flammable, but the stain drying process involves the solvents dissolving, which leaves behind a non-flammable product on your wood project. Wood stain is, however, flammable before you apply it, so you should always store partially full cans and used wood stain rags away from sources of heat and open flames.

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths
