"Larry was courteous, personable, very knowledgeable and professional. He was prompt and thorough. He power washed and stained all 3 of our decks at our cottage, gave us good advice on selecting products used and how to maintain afterward. We highly recommend CLS Painting."

"Don and his crew just recently finished the exterior stain project on our home. Our specific thoughts: 1. Pricing was fair and Don billed exactly as he said he would; no surprises. 2. Incredibly competent, professional, and courteous crew. We had a great deal of "high" work (3 stories) and they accomplished this amazingly. Don played the point and regularly communicated with my wife and me. 3. In addition to staining, we had a great deal of cedar trim damaged by woodpeckers--Don and crew replaced the damaged trim and did an excellent job. 4. Don and crew showed up when they said they would, and finished on time--all positives. In conclusion, my wife and I would highly recommend Painting by Don if you need exterior work done. They are pros."

"Can’t say enough about how Gabe and crew made sure the job was done right. No cutting corners or “good enough” attitude here. They literally scraped and sanded our entire home’s exterior. They seamlessly replaced the many boards that had damage, even added a cosmetic ceiling under a side porch. It looks like a new home. Additionally, they are really easy to work with. They were respectful and unobtrusive despite our many guests in and out while they were working. Have already signed up to have them back to power wash and stain the decks next year."

"We asked Dave for two projects 1) prepare and restrain a large deck and 2) remove, replace and paint miscellaneous wood trim on the exterior of the house. Dave contacted us within minutes of our request, arrived in the late afternoon to give us an estimate and began within a week or so. He did what he said he would and in a timely manner. He kept us informed each step of the way. We were so happy with his work we asked him to do another interior project."

"Adam's painting coated my ceilings, including the cathedral ceiling, and stairways. They look brand new. The crew carefully moved everything. Covered what could not be moved. Even vacuumed before they put all the furniture back. Chris is very easy to work with. He even made recommendations to save me money. The crew is very pleasant, really hard working. And all for a good price. I don't know what else you could ask for."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

A properly applied coat of stain will last between 3 and 8 years, depending on your climate. If you live in a place where your fence experiences a lot of moisture or high heat, your stain will last for a shorter period than in more temperate conditions. We recommend reapplying stain every 3 to 5 years to keep your wood in good condition.

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

Constant exposure to inclement weather conditions can damage your deck, causing it to fade, warp, or crack over time. Regular maintenance keeps it looking and performing its best. That means giving it a good cleaning and applying a quality sealant or wood treatment to help defend against moisture, sun damage, and everyday wear.

The best temperature to paint a pool deck is between 50 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit, because many paints and sealers require temperatures warm enough for the chemical reaction to take place for proper curing. The paint should not be allowed to freeze, and temperatures above 90 degrees can cause the paint to dry too quickly, also preventing the chemical reaction from following through to completion.

For the longest-lasting exterior paint, consider acrylic or enamel (oil-based) paints. Acrylic paints, including acrylic latex and acrylic enamel, are known for withstanding harsh weather and sun exposure. Enamel-based paints are also one of the most durable options available. While latex paint is common, it typically has a shorter lifespan than acrylic or oil-based options. The paint's finish also affects its durability; a higher gloss finish is generally more durable. For resistance to moisture and cracking, matte and satin finishes can be effective, while a high-gloss acrylic or oil-based paint offers a combination of maximum longevity and durability.
