"I had been wanting to build a deck for a while, to hold my hot tub. I met with the owner, Steve, and he told me exactly how much it would cost, approximately how long it would take, and they got it done. Clean, professional, and honest. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thanks Newhouse Construction!"

"Sheldon was excellent! Rapidly responded to our Angi request for a painter and was able to fit our project in when we needed him. Arrived on time and painted bedrooms, dining room wall, and did hallway touch ups. He also did a couple extra touch ups including spackle texture and was able to blend into existing color nicely. Highly recommend!"

"I would give 6 stars if I could. Paul is a true professional and master at his craft. His care and attention to detail and perfection is not something I’ve experienced with other painters. I hope he never retires. He has set the bar for what to expect. When one product he put on didn’t sit right he corrected it no questions asked. There’s no other painter in the Big Sky area I would trust with my home."

"It was a team of three painters that painted my 125 year old house. There was a lot prep work before paint was applied. They were a very coordinated team that represented three different generations that worked together to get the job done. Planning on using them to paint the back of my house next summer 2020."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Two coats of stain are ideal for the best protection and aesthetic appeal. However, if your decking is made of particularly dense hardwood, you may only need one coat. If you want an intense color, two coats are ideal.

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.

The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage. 

Always wait until the morning dew has dried before you stain your deck. The stain needs a fully dry surface to sink into.

Here's the deal with leaving used rags covered in oil-based stain lying around in a pile: Depending on the conditions, these rags can take just an hour or up to a few days to combust. The source of ignition is caused by trapped heat that can be compounded if the rags are near a heat source.
