"From start to finish, I absolutely loved working with Logan on this project. He was a complete professional and all communications were answered and addressed in a timely manner. We had a flexible schedule and were able to get on the books for the last two months just because I was in no rush, just before "it's too cold". The crew member who came out was incredibly kind and got things done and made sure that we knew what was going on and how long everything would take to dry. I would 100% recommend Cutting Edge Painting and Logan and his crew to anyone who needed work done."

"Working with Scott has been the most positive experience I have had in my 50+ years of home ownership. He not only installed exterior siding on our current home, he and his most competent daughter painted the inside of our house in such a thorough, careful manner. The work he has done for us is extraordinary. His businesslike, yet friendly relationship with us made completion of the projects a pleasure. He was prompt and reliable in every way. He let us know in advance of work he could not do and helped us find solutions. To top it off his prices are most reasonable for the high quality of work and the high quality of products he uses. I only hope he remains in business as long as I am a home owner. He is out "go to guy" from now on."

"Outstanding. Rick and his team did an amazing job. They communicated through out the whole process. Finished on time even with a humidity challenge, not their fault. The baseboards looked amazing, and you couldn't even see where the walls needed repaired."

"I gave them a list of possible dates to do the gutter cleaning last week. Yesterday I came home to clean gutters, a well-swept front deck and patio, and well-swept rear deck. I have a complicated, 2-story roof, and they did a fantastic job with the whole project. Highly, highly recommend!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

Staining a deck is typically less expensive upfront than painting. The cost to stain a deck professionally averages around $850, with most homeowners paying between $550 and $1,250, depending on the deck's size. A DIY staining project can cost less than $100. The cost to paint a deck ranges from $500 to $2,000. While the initial cost of staining is lower, it's important to consider long-term expenses. Paint can last up to 10 years, whereas stain needs to be reapplied every few years, which could lead to higher costs over time.

Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint. 

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.
