"Gt Lakes Building Services did a very good job painting the trim on my house. They were punctual on the day they were scheduled to be here. The Great Lakes crew worked continuously until the job was done and cleaned up after themselves. The skilled painters left good coverage and very straight lines on old boards that badly needed paint. They repaired some very rotten boards on an alcove/porch entrance, replaced them with composite boards, and painted them on all sides--no chance of dry rot there. Thanks for the good job! They have many pictures on Instagram of their past jobs. They know how to paint!"

"Phil and Doug at 360 Painting of Ann Arbor made the estimating and scheduling process very smooth. Phil worked with us on a very tight schedule and accommodated our changes in plan. Their team was amazing and super efficient - moved through painting all the rooms within two days. I'll be recommending them to all my friends who need their homes painted!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

You can paint over old paint on a concrete porch. For the best results, you should first clean the surface and remove as much paint as you can. A power washer is helpful here, but you’ll also want to scrape as much of the old paint away as possible. Then you should prime the porch before repainting it.

Wood stain is not flammable after it dries. The solvent in wood stain is what causes the liquid form to be highly flammable, but the stain drying process involves the solvents dissolving, which leaves behind a non-flammable product on your wood project. Wood stain is, however, flammable before you apply it, so you should always store partially full cans and used wood stain rags away from sources of heat and open flames.

Yes, it is generally a very good idea to seal your deck after pressure washing. Power washing removes not only dirt and debris but also a thin layer of wood, leaving the surface exposed and more susceptible to weathering. Sealing is almost always needed after this process. After a general cleaning, sealing isn't automatically necessary if the existing sealant is still intact. You can test the surface by placing a few drops of water on it. If the water beads up, the sealant is working. If it soaks into the wood, it's time to apply a new sealant. If it has been a few years, it's wise to remove the old sealant, wash the deck, and reseal for maximum protection.
