"They stained my cedar siding and painted the vinyl addition. They taped things off nicely and even painted a spot that was missed high up previously. I am having them back to do some interior painting! Looks great!!"

"Clean Cut Painting applied a concrete floor coating in my garage, and I?m really impressed with the outcome. The team worked efficiently and made sure every detail was done properly. The surface looks clean, glossy, and very durable. It has completely improved the look of the space. I would definitely recommend their service to anyone considering floor coating."

"I have a very complicated job with four different colors and many sharp angles and high ceilings. I also wanted all my trim board painted and doors painted. They also refinished my front door and fixed areas outside the house. They were very pleasant, attentive to my needs, and did a fabulous job!"

"I hired him to come and fix the outside of my house. I had a fire on my porch, because the porch light caught fire due to a bird nest! He did such a WONDERFUL job cleaning and repairing it all! There was alot of damage to the front of the house because I didn't know it was on fire!!! Looks like nothing ever happened 😊 After that, I also hired him to due painting inside my home. You won't be disappointed! 👍🏻👍🏻"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.

Adding a second coat of stain to wood can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.

Choosing the right product involves understanding deck material, desired finish, and local weather conditions. Opt for high-quality, weatherproof formulations ensuring long-term durability and appearance retention.

Liquid rubber is great for waterproofing, but it can damage your deck if it’s not applied correctly. First, it can trap moisture in the wood if the deck isn’t completely dry before application.  Second, applying it too thickly can create a heavy, rubbery surface layer that peels and cracks under fluctuating temperatures. For the best results, ensure the wood is completely dry before application, and apply the liquid rubber in thin, even coats. A quick inspection every now and then will help you catch any issues early, keeping your deck protected and looking its best.
