"It is rare to find excellence and integrity. Christian exemplifies both. He painted the exterior of my home and deck and transformed it from a sprawling cabin exterior to a fantastic glistening white farmhouse. He is straightforward in his communication and a man of his word. He recommended the quality and textures of the paints based on the type of siding and exposure my home has to the seasonal elements. He paid expert attention to detail so that areas of siding were caulked and matched perfectly with the house color. You will be in excellent hands and will be delighted by the caliber of his work. He is a gem of a professional and person."

"I would recommend Douglas Painting to all my friends and anyone needing a paint or staining job, big or small. I was contacted as soon as my request was made and Douglas worked very hard with me re: price and timeline. The work was done efficiently, on time, and in an above satisfactory manner with the area left neat & clean. They even moved everything. I didn't have to do any prep work. I look forward to working with them again in the future."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Oxygen bleach uses hydrogen peroxide as a base and won’t harm wood when using it as a cleaner. On the other hand, chlorine bleach breaks down wood at the cellular level and causes irreversible harm. Although you may not see immediate damage to wood after exposing it to chlorine bleach, its strength and integrity are now compromised.

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.

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.

The opposite is actually true: Wood stains tend to appear lighter when they’re fully dry. However, stains may darken as they weather and oxidize with age. Stains might also darken on surfaces left in direct sunlight, as UV rays can break down pigment particles and cause them to darken over time.

Deciding whether to stain or paint a pool deck depends on your budget, desired look, and the deck's material. Both options can work. Paint offers a wider variety of color options, provides excellent water resistance, and can last longer. However, it requires a primer and can eventually fade or peel. Stain is often cheaper, easier to apply, and penetrates the wood for a more natural look and longer-lasting finish. It also has great water resistance. The downsides are fewer color options and the need for a sealant. The choice can also depend on the deck material; for example, staining may be a better option for concrete as it bonds well and lasts longer than paint.
