"I hired a company highly reviewed on this site that walked off the job site prior to even starting, claiming he didn't charge enough as we negotiated the price. I waited 2 weeks to start this job and now I had no contractor. I called Dave Taylor early on a Monday afternoon for a quote, he showed up later that day. Monday evening he called and asked if he could start on Tuesday morning (!), when the other guy was to actually start painting. Dave and John showed up at 8:30 and the job was completed by noon on Wednesday. Taylor'd Painting was to start a 2 week job and he literally squeezed us in. I didn't feel I was in a position to negotiate a price, but we did I think we're both quite satisfied. I can't say enough about these guys, hire them today!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Hangers are one way of attaching stair stringers to a deck. These metal hangers are usually adjustable, allowing you to find the ideal angle for a secure installation. They’re the best choice for installing longer staircases, such as one on a two-story deck, to reduce the load on the deck frame while keeping the stairs stable.

Yes, beginners can use a paint sprayer, but there is a learning curve. It's important to go slowly, read the instructions thoroughly, and spend some time learning the technique. Watching tutorial videos for your specific paint sprayer model can be very helpful. Before starting your main project, practice on a scrap surface to get used to the sprayer and avoid common issues like overspraying, which can cause drips, bubbles, and other imperfections. For safety, always wear a mask and gloves, and be careful not to touch the sprayer's tip when it's in use, particularly with high-powered airless sprayers.

It's okay to walk on a newly painted deck after about four to six hours as long as the weather has been dry. Be sure to wait at least 24 hours before you place any outdoor furniture or grills on a freshly painted deck, though.

When choosing between deck stain or paint, knowing what will last longer is important. Deck paint lasts longer than deck stain. With deck paint, you can get up to 10 years of coverage before you need to reapply. With deck stain, that time is significantly shorter at two to three years

Two coats of stain are ideal for the best protection and aesthetic appeal. However, if your decking is made of particularly dense hardwood, you may only need one coat. If you want an intense color, two coats are ideal.
