"When I met Leo of HighRollers Painting I hired him because I could sense his integrity. His crew was very kind, efficient, and helpful. They also stained my deck and painted the foundation of my house. The worst part of the ordeal was me having to pick the colors for the paint and stain. Leo’s estimate of what it would cost was in the ballpark of what I was willing to spend. I give Leo and his crew five stars for their service ."

"I had them paint the front of the house and stain our deck (800 SF) this fall and plan to hire them to paint the rest of the house next Spring. They responded quickly to my request for a bid. The bid was competitive and transparent. They got the work done in the time period we discussed. They did nice work and cleaned up each day. My only comment is the work van does not inspire confidence but the owners are frugal and conscientious. :0)))."

"The entire crew was super nice, extremely courteous with other work being performed at the time and/or keeping the home neat and clean throughout the entire process. The entire crew worked late to get the job done and had smiles the entire time. Would absolutely be first in line to recommend to anyone for any size project (I had a very large residential project)"

"I couldn’t be happier with the work this painting company did in my home. They painted multiple interior spaces, including the bedrooms, kitchen, and living area, and the results exceeded my expectations. From start to finish, the team was professional, punctual, and detail-oriented. Their preparation work was thorough, the paint lines were crisp and clean, and they took great care to protect my furniture and floors throughout the project. The finished rooms look absolutely beautiful and have completely refreshed the feel of my home. Their craftsmanship and attention to detail really show in the final product. They were also friendly, easy to work with, and left everything spotless when the job was complete. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality interior painting. Fantastic work, excellent service, and results that truly speak for themselves!"

"The painter started and finished on time and did a reasonably good job of cleaning up when he completed the job. I was disappointed in the amount of paint splatters I had to scrub off the floors, counter tops, tub and woodwork later that I thought should have been covered with a tarp."

"We had the best service from Elite Finish Painting! Stefanie and Conrad were punctual (actually they were even early), friendly, meticulous, and made sure that we were happy with their work. And we were ecstatic about how the interior of our home turned out, we are planning to book them for more work for both the inside and outside of our home. They left our house cleaner than before they started. I highly recommend this company for their excellent work and incredible service!"

"The job was a bit expensive, but it's not a small house, though a neighbor is getting their house done by someone else for $1000 less. The house and trim look good, until you get really close. House color on trim edges that should be a different color. All over spray wasn't cleaned up well, no masking was done. Lots of paint on the driveway, in the grass and on the upper deck. Areas in the yard where brushes and equipment were cleaned, or where paint was spilled are now dead, I will have to reseed those areas when it gets cooler. For the most part we are satisfied, but attention to detail was lacking."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.

It’s often best to spray on deck sealer. Sprayers can apply sealant more quickly and evenly than rolling while still enabling you to reach tight spaces. When using a sprayer, always use a low-pressure setting at a close distance to ensure an even application. Avoid using sprayers on windy days.

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.

DIY is possible but presents risks of uneven surfaces or improper adhesion; professionals offer expertise to ensure a lasting finish.
