"Platinum painting did an excellent job. The entire exterior of the house was power washed and painted and the deck was power washed and stained. We couldn't be happier with the entire process and the end result. Debbie was very communicative through the process and the work was completed within the timeframe that was given. They also replaced several boards that were rotten and replaced an exterior door. The premisis was left tidy at the end of each day and i was comfortable allowing access to our home when we weren't there to complete the door replacement and painting. I highly recommend Platinum Painting for any of your home painting projects."

"We love how our deck now looks. We have a 33 year old wood deck which we wanted to keep. They replaced rotted boards & brought the steps to todays standards. We did two tone stain with the rail & floor natural & the rails, steps & lattice a darker sable stain. It takes time but weâ ll worth having patience. Very reasonable pricing. Thank you Greg for making our deck the best in the neighborhood!"

"We own a cottage in OBX but live in Virginia and were looking for someone in the area that would not try to scam me (as I found a few of those). I found Jason at Reigle Contracting and I am glad I did. We had our decks, windows/doors, and siding replaced on our cottage in Kitty Hawk. They were amazing to work with and were top notch. The decks are very sturdy and built with safety and style in mind. The windows/doors turned out better than we thought they would. The siding is beautiful. Along the way, Jason would let me know what issues he had and would call me to make sure I was informed of what he found and offered the proper way to fix it. We found we had a roof leak in several places and he took care of this for us. This outside of the original scope of work. He really does take care of his customers. The before and after photos are amazing! It looks like a totally different cottage! I wish he could come do some work on our home in Virginia! We love it and would definitely use and recommend Reigle Contracting again."

"We previously hired Sean to paint the interior of our garage. He did an amazing job. At that time we discussed him doing our Garage floor with epoxy and sparkles. We scheduled the job with him. He arrived on time and completed the work in the agreed time frame. He exceeded our expectations. Our garage looks so spectacular, that we are now the talk of the neighborhood."

"We hired J & T for all new siding, decks, and doors and windows in our house near the beach. We talked to three contractors and they were the cheapest with all three using the same materials for the project. J & T did an amazing job. The house looks great. I HIGHLY recommend them for any work you need done to your home."

"Hamado is a rare find for a contractor. He is honest, thorough, and leaves the repair looking as if the damage never happened. I am a single female homeowner who stepped on a ceiling panel while changing out my insulation in the attic. The long side of a whole panel popped open. The panel needed to be drilled into the joists again and popcorn ceiling reapplied. Oh my Lord did other contractors try to take me for a ride...everything up to my whole ceiling needing to be replaced. Hamado was respectful (no contractor theatrics that my house needed to be replaced), assessed the damage fairly, and gave me a unbelievable fair quote. He showed up on time on the workday and made the ceiling look as if I never stepped on it. Beautiful work. And Angela who handled his quotes and booking with me was a total professional. This is a team you can trust...will be definitely be going to them the next time I screw up my house during one of my genius DIYs."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

You should refinish your deck to maintain its appearance, durability, and longevity. Refinishing your deck protects the wood from foot traffic and the elements. It also helps extend its life span by keeping rot, mildew, and termites at bay. By maintaining your deck, you can avoid the cost of replacing your deck sooner. A refinished deck also looks great and restores some of its original beauty.

Various kinds of substances and deck preservatives act as protective coatings for wood to prevent rot, which is caused by water getting into the wood and creating cracks and splits. Stains, paints, and sealants are the three best options to protect your wood, but there are also oils, varnishes, and waxes available. You’ll need to reapply sealant at least once per year, and you should inspect your wood deck regularly to look for signs of damage or general wear and tear.

Eggshell and satin finishes are best for porches because they sit in the sweet spot between scuffable matte and distracting high gloss. Your porch sees a fair amount of wear and tear, so you don’t want paint that’ll show every mark like matte, but you don’t want to be blinded by glossy paint in the sun either. Eggshell and satin have durability and a look that sits nicely in the middle.

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.
