"Cruz Home Painting LLC did an excellent job painting the exterior of our home. Jesús and his team’s attention to detail on the project resulted in a high quality paint job. Jesús communicated with us on all stages of the job and ensured that all parties were on the same page. The quality of work was definitely worth the price."

"Silva's Painting powerwashed my deck, screened porch, and ceiling then came back to paint them. Everything was done perfectly and has held up. I highly recommend David Silva and his crew for excellent work and friendly service. I am so glad he was introduced to me by a friend who would not let anyone else work on his house because of the quality of service. Ben"

"Narciso was wonderful and stress free to work with from the initial estimate until the final payment. We found him and his employees prompt, professional, and did excellent work. His price was fair and reasonable. They even game on the 4th of July to touch up, and to our surprise, cleaned the front window by the doors. We also hired them to power wash our walk/driveway and clean the gutters.We have had more than a few compliments on our home. Without a doubt, from now on, Paz Painting will be our go-to for any painting, pressure washing, or gutters cleaning needs."

"H&M Contractor did a fantastic job on some exterior touchup painting that I needed. I have hired them again for a couple more jobs that I need done to the house. I highly recommend them. They do great work for a great price and are very communicative and prompt. Can't really ask for anything more."

"Great Painters, From beginning to end. They were incredibly easy to work with and schedule, responsive, and used email (a huge plus. I know it sounds silly, but a lot of contractors/painters aren't fully digital yet. It's incredibly annoying when all you want is a quick answer that doesn't need a phone call, especially since I work 3rd shift, and contact during the day can be a bit difficult.) The former owner of the home was a smoker, so they went through all of our options for removing smoke smell and stains. Incredibly thorough. Their rates are competitive, and they do a great job. Highly recommended.

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Ipe wood can last up to 75 years with minimal maintenance because its own oils help to preserve it. However, to get the most out of your Ipe wood deck, you should perform some routine maintenance, including regular cleaning, sweeping of leaves and debris, and rinsing spills with a hose. It’s also important to repair any deep scratches as soon as you spot them and reseal the deck annually to protect against scratches and scuffs.

For homes in areas with extreme weather, high heat, or intense sun exposure, high-quality acrylic paint is the best option. Acrylic paint is durable, resistant to both heat and cold, and provides a protective barrier with excellent UV resistance. For best results, look for acrylics that contain natural earth pigments, which are better suited for resisting sun damage. While oil-based paint is also durable, it can be prone to fading in high heat and can become too viscous to apply easily in cold temperatures. Additionally, choosing a neutral or light color like gray, beige, or white can help, as these colors absorb less heat than darker shades.

Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint. 

Painted decks typically require a new coat about once every ten years. In between new coats, it's best to maintain your deck by regularly removing debris, washing it down with non-abrasive cleaners, and staying ahead of structural issues, such as loose boards and rotting wood. In some cases, painting a small section of your deck affected by damage or the sun can lower your costs and workload.

The staining or painting process involves cleaning the deck, sanding surfaces, applying a primer (if needed), and carefully applying stain or paint for an even, lasting finish.
