"We were very pleased with the excellent and professional job re-staining our log home. Dario and his crew were diligent, reliable, punctual and very easy to work with. They were extremely hard working and finished our house before a visit by our relatives. We love the way our log home looks now !! We would highly recommend them to friends and neighbors and definitely use them again."

"We are extremely pleased with the exterior painting and staining work provided by Custom Painting of Asheville! Dario was great to work with, and the entire crew did an amazing job repairing wood rot, replacing fascia boards, removing, painting and reinstalling gutter systems, and staining a large deck and porch. This team is highly recommended for their thorough workmanship, attention to detail, cleanliness on our job site, efficiency in time, and very reasonable cost of work. They are not just “color changers”, but true professional painters that provide necessary prep work that results in a beautiful end product—a very rare combination of qualities to find in most painting contractors. Thank you to the entire team for your work!"

"They have handled two major projects for me. A thorough pressure washing of our main home as well as a pressure washing, new roof, caulking/sealing of all the doors & windows, and staining of the deck and elsewhere for our summer home. They did an excellent job all the way around on both projects."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

It’s a good idea to sand your porch before painting. This will remove loose or chipped paint and debris, and give you a cleaner surface so that your new paint goes on smoothly. But if the existing surface is in good condition, it’s not necessary to sand your porch before you paint.

Aftercare includes routine cleaning, checking for water repellency, and promptly addressing any chips or peels, maintaining the deck's appearance and functionality.

Wood stain is not flammable after it dries. The solvent in wood stain is what causes the liquid form to be highly flammable, but the stain drying process involves the solvents dissolving, which leaves behind a non-flammable product on your wood project. Wood stain is, however, flammable before you apply it, so you should always store partially full cans and used wood stain rags away from sources of heat and open flames.

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

Most gutter painting pros also specialize in complete home exterior painting. You may save by making your gutter painting part of the cost to paint the exterior of a house in its entirety. Many people have all parts of their home exterior painted simultaneously to keep everything looking equally fresh. Consider having walls, trim, porches, shutters, and doors painted as well.
