"I hired True North Painting to paint the entire exterior of my log cabin house. They did a wonderful job! Dylan was extremely professional, friendly, and easy to contact. He and his entire team worked quickly and expertly and my house has never looked better. I recommend True North Painting without reservation!"

"For 6-years my wife has been asking me if we could sheet-rock over the "cabin-like" wood at our lake house. After hiring John, I admitted "why did I wait so long". The craftsmanship, professionalism, constant communication, price, attention to detail and ability to think of ideas to make the house look even better is beyond our wildest dreams. I have never seen my wife so excited about the outcome of John Devoe's work. For those who read this, please don't look for a 2nd or 3rd quote, just call John, you will be happy you did, your home or project will be 100xtimes better than you ever thought. I have already hired John for a second project in a few weeks. So you will have to wait until mine is done - LOL"

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

The best exterior paint for the job of painting your front porch depends on the material you’ll be painting. Acrylic paint is often recommended for a wooden porch as it’s durable and easy to apply. If your porch is made of concrete, you’ll need to find a formula suited to that material.

Painting a damaged pool deck is not recommended if the substrate is crumbling, cracking, spalling, or otherwise actively deteriorating. Continuing deterioration will result in the paint also delaminating or flaking off the damaged surface. Minor damage such as chips or hairline cracks that are not actively deteriorating can often be repaired enough to paint over. A damaged pool deck with a lot of cracking and deterioration should be replaced for best results.

You can use latex or acrylic paint outdoors. Although acrylic paint tends to last longer outside, it also costs more, so if you’re painting the outside of your house, for instance, latex paint is often a go-to option. However, acrylic will be your best choice if you want to spend some extra money for added durability.

Ideally, it's best to stain your dock once per year. Applying stain doesn't just keep it looking nice and new; it also helps extend the dock’s lifespan. Since you want to ensure water levels are at their lowest, it's best to have this project done by a professional dock repair service in the cooler autumn or early winter months. 

Provided conditions are ideal, staining an entire deck should take as little as a couple of hours and up to a couple of days to apply and cure. Additional procedures, like sealing a deck or using additional treatments, may extend the project by a few additional days.
