"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!"

"Great! We were not sure that this technique was the right solution for our business so we needed to try cleaning a single mold first and test it before having the remaining molds cleaned. Andy was very accommodating in this process and made multiple trips to finish the job. He also worked with us to find the best media since surface finish was very important. We will absolutely us Aqua Terra Vapor Blasting again when needed."

"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 questions, answered by experts

You don't need to seal your deck after painting it because most exterior paints are waterproof and weather-resistant. While stealing is not necessary, it can add an additional layer of protection.

The best time to paint your deck is when temperatures are neither too cold (below 60 degrees) nor too hot (above 85 degrees). Always paint your deck when there’s no risk of rain. For fast-drying paint like acrylic or latex, ensure your deck can dry for at least four hours. Oil-based paints take longer to dry and may require 48 hours to completely cure.

Aftercare includes routine cleaning, checking for water repellency, and promptly addressing any chips or peels, maintaining the deck's appearance and functionality.

The need for a topcoat on a painted deck depends on various factors, primarily the type of paint used and your desired level of protection. Many premium deck paint formulations are self-sealing, eliminating the necessity for an additional topcoat. These paints often have built-in additives that substantially protect against moisture, UV rays, and everyday wear and tear.

Deciding whether to stain or paint a pool deck depends on your budget, desired look, and the deck's material. Both options can work. Paint offers a wider variety of color options, provides excellent water resistance, and can last longer. However, it requires a primer and can eventually fade or peel. Stain is often cheaper, easier to apply, and penetrates the wood for a more natural look and longer-lasting finish. It also has great water resistance. The downsides are fewer color options and the need for a sealant. The choice can also depend on the deck material; for example, staining may be a better option for concrete as it bonds well and lasts longer than paint.
