"STRAIGHT EDGE PAINTING - CAN'T SAY ENOUGH POSITIVE THINGS We recently engaged Straight Edge Painting owned by Wes Reese to paint the entire interior of our house, including all the ceilings and wood trim work. Until now I doubted anyone could paint to my own expectations.. Wes sent in a team of the most professional, careful, pleasant, respectful and well-trained painters you could ever ask for. They start by covering all the floors by taping down heavy-duty brown kraft paper. Then they patch every imperfection in the ceiling and walls that they find. They even shine flashlights on the ceiling and walls to find these imperfections. Then they scrub down the walls with a giant dry mop-head. Next, they clean the baseboard moldings with a brush. Then, they start by priming all the surfaces first. Then they apply 2 coats of the highest quality paint. Wes is always accessible. They are fully insured and offer a very strong warranty. I COULD NOT IMAGINE THAT YOU CAN FIND A BETTER PAINTER."

"The guys were very polite, respectful and dedicated to their work. They protected everything on the exterior of the home. This included new deck, railings, new concrete patio, roof shingles, windows, doors, air conditioning unit. We had board and baton installed on the front of the home, we are very pleased with the work they performed on the siding. I would highly recommend this company and their workers."

"Hired to paint the entire interior of a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home. It ended up needing 3 coats of paint. The work was done professionally with attention to detail. Clean up was handled the same way. We were also pleased with the time it took. Much less than we expected. He was also trustworthy and personable. I would highly recommend him."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

The best temperature to paint a pool deck is between 50 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit, because many paints and sealers require temperatures warm enough for the chemical reaction to take place for proper curing. The paint should not be allowed to freeze, and temperatures above 90 degrees can cause the paint to dry too quickly, also preventing the chemical reaction from following through to completion.

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

It’s best to use an exterior latex acrylic paint to promote maximum adhesion to composite decking. This flexible paint type can better cope with the natural expansion and contraction that can occur with composite deck boards. Oil-based paints won’t adhere as effectively and are more likely to crack and peel as the boards flex. Testing whether your chosen paint will stick on an inconspicuous section or a spare board is a good idea.

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.
