"Wes and the crew at Straight Edge Painting Pros were outstanding. Wes quickly returned my calls, gave a very reasonable quote, and the crew did an outstanding job repairing damaged wood and staining the house. In addition we had new wood garage doors installed after the house was stained and the Straight Edge team came back right after installation to stain these doors as part of the original estimate. We are very satisfied and would strongly recommend Straight Edge Painting Pros to anyone looking for house painters."

"We are so happy with the work Alexander and his team did for us - staining our newly installed stair balusters and railings. The quality of work was fantastic, and the team was responsive and professional. We were very impressed with the preparation and care Alexander and his team put into making sure they kept a clean area and prevented any mess with the stain. We absolutely would hire again!"

"Ukie Painting went above and beyond on my exterior painting and brick limewashing! I am completing a full home renovation at the time of the painting, and my GC and builder team complimented the Ukie Painting team on their professionalism and workmanship. The crew cleaned up every day, was courteous to the team working inside the house, and spent ample time on the prep work to correct a former painter’s job and ensure a superior finished product. For the limewash, they steered me in the right direction on color and customized the application and mixture to achieve my desired finish. It’s difficult to find limewash vendors, so this is one of their offerings that I think differentiates them from competitors. I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Ukie Painting. Everyone from Vitalii, Andrii, Cristian, and Carmen were fantastic to work with, and I look forward to the day when we can collaborate on another project together!"

"The Restored Living team sanded and restained the stair railings and banisters in my home. I am beyond pleased with their work! Great attention to detail on the curves of the railing, and they took care to tape off areas to avoid mistakes, shield furniture from wood dust, and cleaned up afterward. Consultation and scheduling of the project was timely and smooth, and communication throughout the entire project was excellent as well. I have other projects coming up and will definitely be reaching out to them again. 5/5 stars, 10/10 recommend!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

Deck staining or painting safeguards wood against the elements through its protective layer, enhancing decay resistance, prolonging structural integrity, and improving visual appeal.

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.

To make sure the paint won’t bubble as you apply it, make sure to paint on a day that’s cooler than 85 degrees Fahrenheit. When the temperature is too high, the paint won’t dry evenly, which can result in bubbles forming on the surface. Another way to prevent paint from bubbling is to clean the walls, apply primer, and let everything dry completely before you begin.

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.
