"Pro Home Exteriors did a wonderful job installing my vinyl siding, painting my foundation and staining my porch and deck. Juan and his crews were very professional and explained everything they were doing. My house is beautiful and they stayed on schedule. The clean up after completing the project was great and I am completely satisfied with this project. I highly recommend Pro Home Exteriors for your next vinyl siding or painting project. My deck looks brand new and is much sturdier than even when it was first built. I’ll hire this company again for my next project. Thanks Juan- appreciate the attention to detail and hard work from you snd your crews!"

"Shane is detailed and has a strong work ethic. He communicates very well to ensure he has a clear understanding of the job expectations. He is also well organized and keeps the work area clean and tidy at all times. In addition, his bid was reasonable and he touched bases with me frequently to ensure that we stayed within my budget. I'm very pleased with the results and could not be happier. Would GLADLY do business with him again!"

"The process was pretty seamless and straightforward. The only issue was that the only person we could verbally communicate with was the site leader who did not stay onsite. The painters themselves did not speak English and communicating as a mime was not very efficient....Overall the job was done and done well. Would still consider them again."

"Fresh Start painting did two of my friends homes both interior and exterior. I was so impressed I had them come and paint multiple interior rooms in my home and then they painted the exterior of my home inclusive of my front porch and my screened in back porch. They are efficient, accommodating, detail oriented and so neat in cleaning up other than beautiful painting as a result you would never know they were here. Immaculate ~ and I have already rehired them for more work. Reasonable prices and worth every dime. Accommodating with my schedule ~ and I could just leave while they did their work. Lovely to be in a position of trust and reliability. PS they were fabulous working around my labrador and she moved from room to room to say hello and then she would tuck into a bed for a nap."

"I recently hired Luis to build a new wooden deck for my backyard, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the very first consultation, Luis was incredibly easy going and professional, making the whole process feel stress free. He took the time to listen to my ideas and vision for the space, and then broke everything down into simple, understandable steps explaining the materials we’d use, the timeline, and even potential challenges like weather delays in our crazy KC winters. His clear communication helped me feel confident and involved every step of the way. The quality of his work is top notch, the deck is sturdy and beautifully crafted with pressure treated lumber, and seamlessly integrates with my home’s exterior. He paid attention to all the little details. Luis was punctual, respectful of my property, and cleaned up thoroughly after each day’s work. Easily my top choice for future projects"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, you must thoroughly clean your deck before staining. If you don't, dirt, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped between the wood and the new stain. This not only looks unsightly but also prevents the stain from penetrating the wood properly, reducing its ability to protect the deck from weather and UV rays. As a result, the stain won't last as long or look as good. Any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage. Always wait at least 48 hours after cleaning for the wood to dry completely before applying stain.

There’s no single paint that’s the most waterproof. Instead, there are several types of waterproof and water-resistant paints that suit different purposes. Epoxy paint, for instance, is commonly used to provide a waterproof coating to floors and decks. Masonry paint is an excellent choice for exterior walls. Meanwhile, there are waterproof acrylic paints that can be used for interior and exterior walls. It’s more about choosing the best type for what you’re painting instead of the most waterproof paint overall.

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. 

Yes, pressure-treated wood can occasionally turn green due to certain preservatives, such as copper-based chemicals, used during the treatment process. These chemicals react with the wood, creating a greenish tint. The good news? It's temporary, and the color will fade over time. Staining or painting can also help hide any unwanted hues.
