"Excellent! Very professional, hand painted everything in heavy coat of top quality paint. price quote included paint and they brought color charts to me to help choose and gave me counsel on what types of paints would be best for our particular needs. They had the challenge of painting, wood, fiberglass columns, composite decking and a spiral metal staircase. They prepped quickly and effectively and painted everything expertly by hand. Even painting the underside of the metal stairs when I did not even ask for that. Carlos also scrambled atop the house and painted our large, metal chimney stack which had worn back down to exposed metal. These men worked very hard for us."

"Tony did an amazing job painting our walls, trim, crown molding and baseboards! He was very thorough and timely! He gave us a timeline and finished earlier than expected. He was flexible to the changes we made in the middle of the process and walked us through what he planned to do each day. He’s very customer centric and ready to come up with the best solution possible!"

"We Out Here did an excellent job of cleaning up wood and underbrush left where numerous trees had been removed in a heavily wooded area on our property...a big job! Mr. Walker and his wife Michelle are hard workers, and we are well pleased with the work they did for us. They are pleasant and positive folks. The price for their hard work was very reasonable. We will hire them again. Frank and Carolyn J"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the deck refinishing process. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.

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.

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

Yes, pressure-treated wood can occasionally turn green due to certain preservatives, such as copper-based chemicals, used during the treatment process. These chemicals react with the wood, creating a greenish tint. The good news? It's temporary, and the color will fade over time. Staining or painting can also help hide any unwanted hues.

You’ll want to avoid excessively hot or humid conditions, so it’s best to apply your stain in late spring to early fall. It's also important to watch the weather forecast and aim for days when there isn’t rain expected for at least three days. For new decks, allow the wood to season beforehand for at least four to eight weeks.
