"Southern Grace Exteriors was VERY responsive!  Within literally 30 seconds of requesting an appointment for an estimate on Angie's List, I was contacted by Christian Adams to discuss what I wanted done.  He was extremely personable and very knowledgeable.  He was careful to call to confirm an appointment 15 minutes or so before arriving and was always prompt.  He kept very good communication and was accessible when I needed him.  He worked tirelessly to complete the job on time and we are extremely satisfied with not only the work that was done, but the quality of the product as well.  I would highly recommend Christian Adams and Southern Grace Exteriors for any home repair projects and will contract with him again for future needs.

"Things went well. The work was done meticulously. They cleaned up every day and communicated well as to any stoppage. i.e. Weather stopped job for two days and I was called to inform me. All nail holes were painted to match the color scheme. The bottom line: my home looks fantastic."

"Paul and TJ did a great job and were also just so nice to have around. They are reliable and professional perfectionists. I had a small area (a high stairwell and hall) in an old house with plaster walls - not a job everyone would want to take. They repaired cracks and blended everything perfectly. I would definitely recommend."

"They did an amazing job! I needed my whole house repainted, they came in gave me a bid, and after I hired them, they were done 3 days earlier than expected. I have another house that needs done and will absolutely be hiring this crew again for the work!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

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.

A wood deck requires annual cleaning and regular inspections for loose or broken boards, nails, and screws. It should be refinished by applying a stain or sealer every two to three years to protect the wood from water damage, rot, mildew, and sun fading. The exact frequency can depend on the climate and the deck's exposure to sun and moisture. If your deck is painted, it will need repainting approximately every 10 years. Signs that your deck needs refinishing include faded, splintering, or warping boards.

Whether you can paint over your existing paint depends on what’s on there. Most of the time, you’ll want to sand down or scrape off the paint that’s currently coating your surface. Epoxy paint, for example, won’t let new paint stick to the surface. Latex paint is more forgiving and will accept a new coat, but a primer is recommended if you’re switching colors.

No, it is not okay to paint over rotted wood. Painting over rotted wood will not address the underlying issue and can trap moisture, leading to further decay. Properly addressing the rotted wood by removing and replacing or repairing the damaged areas is necessary before you can even consider painting.
