Cobra Deck and Concrete is your premier provider for all cleaning and protection of your exterior surfaces. This includes power washing, prepping, and staining/sealing those decks, docks, fences, concrete driveways, hardscapes, patios, pool decks, pergolas, and any exterior surface that builds dirt, mold, mildew. Our 3-step process is the! First, Cobra will spray a plant and animal friendly product on the surface to gently lift the stains from the surfaces. Secondly, a light pressure wash to the surface will gently wash away the dirt, mold, organics, and mildews to prepare the surface for the coating. Finally, a protective coating specifically tailored to your surface will be applied to protect from the harmful UV rays and the built in water sealer will help shed any water or accidental spills. Cobra takes great pride in providing top notch customer service, friendly technicians, and an expert knowledge base to help tailor your specific project or issues with tried-and-true methods.

"They were pricy, but came highly recommended. They were prompt in scheduling. Their main selling point is the quality of the prep cleaning. While the new deck looked OK, there were missed areas on the existing porch. The quality of the staining itself was variable - there were areas where they did a great job, and others that were missed, overlooked, or intentionally ignored. The eaves were among the intentionally ignored, and I was told "that's defined as part of the roof structure, which isn't included." Excuse me, but the contract says "clean and stain exterior of screen porch" - it does not say "screen porch walls only." Another ignored area was the top edge of the fascia and floorboards, which they stained above, and below, leaving a gap. And there were several other spots that were overlooked even after a visit to complete punch list items. I asked multiple times to talk to the owner but he never called me back. Next time I'll just hire a real house painter."

"I have work with Susan on multiple projects for 10 years now and I couldn't be happier with her and her crew. This year I asked them to replace nearly all the windows on the house. Susan made great recommendation and picked out the windows, so I didn't have to do a lot of shopping around. They showed up on time and cleaned up after the work. The crew members are trust-worthy which is great for a busy professional like myself. I left the house to them in the morning and went on with my day. They locked it up at the end of the day, cleaned up construction related mess so when I got home it was as if nothing had happened, except for all the brand new windows on the wall!!! There were some minor issues with a few windows, but when I pointed them out, they fixed them right away. House repair and remodeling could be very stressful but they really made it easy, from the initial consultation to the work completion, I never have to worry about a thing, that's why I alway go with them."

We were established in 2006 through a lot of sweat, tears and 80-hour work weeks, like most small businesses. I left my cushy upper management job in corporate to take over the great business my wife had started. She had decided to make our home a happier place by learning to paint faux finishes through our home like marbled ceilings and a brick painted patio. Then the neighbors wanted them, their friends and so forth. The name "Express Yourself Paint" came from customer's expressing their unique character through faux finishes. We started out in an eight-foot utility trailer with the forty-foot ladders hanging out to infinity with red flags tied to them and a used spray gun. We looked more like the Red Neck Painters of Raleigh. Thanks to all those trusting souls who allowed us to paint for them in those early days! We came from humble beginnings, but we wanted to create a different kind of painting company. A company that is high performance, uses modern technology for communicating and scheduling making for a more satisfied customer experience while still applying paint the old fashion way...brushes, rollers and sprayers. Our desire to be different has resulted in us becoming the largest and most successful repaint company in the Triangle. All that said, we still trip over our own feet sometimes and as of yet have not discovered how to be perfect. Give us a try and we will most definitely put our best foot forward for you. We can't leave the light on for you because we are at your home painting, but we will definitely bring all the paint and the fixings. Our sincere wish for you is to experience, "The Power of Paint!"

"Amazing job my walls looked great. They were fast and top notch job."

"They spackled a 14x28 shed walls and ceiling for us. They did a fantastic job on the spackling at a very reasonable cost, we only paid for labor they told us what materials to buy and they showed up and knocked it out the park. I would recommend them to a friend. It was well worth the money, saved me so much time and aggravation."

"DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. I had asked them to power wash and stain my deck. I wanted a semi-transparent stain. Tyson told me they recommend full cover. I don’t like full cover. I gave him a gallon of the stain I wanted to use, which was from Home Depot. I even told him to go to Home Depot and use my telephone number to bring up the stain I had purchased. 1. He got stain from Sherwin Williams and it was full cover and was not redwood. It is brown. 2. They got stain on the house siding, and the metal balusters. 3. The stain was applied unevenly. When I told Tyson all this and included pictures, he responded with wow. I also told him it was the wrong stain and he didn’t say anything. I had to have them come back several times, because they did not do all the touchup (it was too late for dealing with the wrong stain). When they tried to remove the stain from the side of the house they made a worse stain. Tyson did get a good match and painted over where the stain was on the side of the house. However, there was still touching up to be done. They also got stain on my flagstone walkway and all over the pool equipment piping. They did not put things back onto the deck. When I told him, he came and started putting the things in the yard back. I told Tyson I was not going to pay him $1,000. He said he would come down to $850. I told him I would offer him $500.00. He accepted. However, he walked off the job without doing the remaining touchups, or putting everything back onto the deck. I did not see this until I got back to the house and after I had paid him. I immediately filed a claim with PayPal to get $250 back from the $500. I have to live with the wrong stain and color until I can figure out how to remove it and start over."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Adding a second coat of stain to wood can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.

Staining or sealing a cedar deck will help it last longer. Cedar may be tough by nature, but without protection, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and mildew over time. Applying a stain, sealer, or both creates a shield against the elements, helping preserve the wood’s strength and appearance.

Waterproof paint creates a barrier to hold back moisture, but it doesn’t eliminate the source of the water. If you hire a basement waterproofing contractor, many will tell you that waterproof paint is only a temporary solution. On average, you can expect it to last from six months to two years in a wet basement before deteriorating.

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.

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.
