"If i could give more thank five stars I would! Paint Bros was excellent in EVERY way. Paint Bros responded quickly to our questions, discussed options thoroughly with us, was open to our ideas and yet contributed his own helpful suggestions and expertise to the project. He provided a fair bid -- similar to other bids. The The hard-working owner checked in with us everyday, and he did the work himself with a helper. He showed up when promised and was always positive and cheerful and really nice to have around. He worked in terrible weather (when others might have found an excuse not to show up) and did REALLY nice work. Our deck never looked so good! Paint Bros did our project the right way, not the easy way. We also added to the project and had them do our dock while they were here and they were willing to take that on too. We could not be more pleased. We have worked with a lot of workmen over the years and feel very confident recommending Paint Bros and we WILL hired them again."

Hello, I specialize in interior/exterior painting and staining. I also do pressure washing on decks, driveways and also on residential homes and commercial properties. I also do small repairs for roofing and siding. I also offer gutter cleaning and install leaf protection on gutters. If needed I have other people willing to help depending on the scope of the project. 20 years experience in the industry. My goal is to make sure the homeowner wants to use my services on future projects with no worries about the job getting done right and establishing a great working relationship with one another. I will walk through with the homeowner at the beginning of the project to ensure the job details and scope of the project are performed to fit the homeowners want or needs. After the job is finished I also will do a walk through with the homeowner to ensure I have made them happy with the work and job performed before payment is issued. I have all the materials and job tools to perform the projects outlined above. Thank you and look forward to working with you!!

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.

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.

A quality deck stain lasts 2 to 5 years, depending on the type of stain, weather exposure, and how well the deck is maintained. Transparent stains may need reapplication sooner, while solid stains tend to last longer. Regular maintenance, including cleaning and sealing, will help extend the life of your finish.

While it’s best to avoid exterior painting when it’s raining, you can still paint inside when the weather is wet. As long as the humidity and temperature inside your house are moderate enough to allow paint to dry properly and your room is properly ventilated, it’s perfectly fine to tackle an indoor painting project even if it’s raining cats and dogs outside.
