"Cruz Home Painting LLC did an excellent job painting the exterior of our home. Jesús and his team’s attention to detail on the project resulted in a high quality paint job. Jesús communicated with us on all stages of the job and ensured that all parties were on the same page. The quality of work was definitely worth the price."

"Mr. Silva was very professional. He kept in contact with me prior to coming out to do the job. He arrived at the time he ssid he would. They did an amazing job on the ceiling. It was an arched wood ceiling with wooden beams. The end results were exceptional. They cleaned up everything when they were done. I am so glad we found Silva painting. I highly recommend them for all your paintings needs."

"Narciso was wonderful and stress free to work with from the initial estimate until the final payment. We found him and his employees prompt, professional, and did excellent work. His price was fair and reasonable. They even game on the 4th of July to touch up, and to our surprise, cleaned the front window by the doors. We also hired them to power wash our walk/driveway and clean the gutters.We have had more than a few compliments on our home. Without a doubt, from now on, Paz Painting will be our go-to for any painting, pressure washing, or gutters cleaning needs."

"I have never met more hard working conscientious professional , honest, friendly folks in my 50 years of homeownership I have hired many contractors for decks and floors and patios and landscaping in 3 states over 5 decades, These people were special and did more than I expected. Not only was the patio they installed beautiful and of superior quality and workmanship, they left the site cleaned up and neat and in better condition than when they arrived,, I am recommending them to all my friends and neighbors. And to top it off their price quote was less than two comparable reputable companies, Thanks Mauricioas. ."

"Kelvin and his team did an excellent job. They were on time, efficient, diligent, clean and ended the job by painting and gutter cleaning all in one day. Job included Front door Fluted Fascia repair and install, new crawl space door and siding repair and replacement with painting, gutter cleaning. The company name doesnâ t do them justice - they can do more than paint!"

"Totally professional! They offered great color and design advice and the work was top-notch in every way. We are thrilled with how our home and deck looks now. They also painted a couple of interior ceilings—also excellent. Plus, they got it all done in a short amount of time. And prices were better than other estimates. We will hire them again for sure."

"We hired Rodas Construction for a roof and decking project. I interviewed several companies before them and they were by far the most professional and knowledgeable contractors. I knew after our first meeting I had to hire them and I don’t regret it. Chris was my point person and he always followed up with me, never late for our appointments and most importantly took his time to carefully explain to me the process and cost. I love the job they did on my roof and deck and would absolutely hire them again!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

The best time to paint your deck is when temperatures are neither too cold (below 60 degrees) nor too hot (above 85 degrees). Always paint your deck when there’s no risk of rain. For fast-drying paint like acrylic or latex, ensure your deck can dry for at least four hours. Oil-based paints take longer to dry and may require 48 hours to completely cure.

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.

For the longest-lasting exterior paint, consider acrylic or enamel (oil-based) paints. Acrylic paints, including acrylic latex and acrylic enamel, are known for withstanding harsh weather and sun exposure. Enamel-based paints are also one of the most durable options available. While latex paint is common, it typically has a shorter lifespan than acrylic or oil-based options. The paint's finish also affects its durability; a higher gloss finish is generally more durable. For resistance to moisture and cracking, matte and satin finishes can be effective, while a high-gloss acrylic or oil-based paint offers a combination of maximum longevity and durability.

Apply a wood stain or sealant to properly maintain a wood deck railing and keep it looking new. Sealants protect wood from moisture and weathering. Regularly inspect the railing for loose screws, damaged balusters, and other signs of wear to make timely repairs. Routinely clean the railing using mild soap, water, and a soft bristle brush.

It is not always necessary to remove old stain before restaining a deck. If the previous stain is in good condition and is compatible with the new stain, you may be able to apply a new coat after thorough cleaning. However, if the old stain is in bad condition, flaking, or peeling, it is best to remove it completely to ensure an even surface and proper adhesion for the new coat. Staining over a damaged layer can lead to an uneven finish and poor penetration. For best results, test a small area first and consult the stain manufacturer's guidelines.
