"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."

"Franklin and crew were very disciplined workers. We were looking for not only good workmanship but good craftsmanship and SCS provided both. Partial replacement of old, obsolete Masonite siding was done well to the house and shed. The exterior of the house and shed was washed and painted. The deck, tree house and swing were washed and refinished, The driveway and sidewalk were powerscrubbed. Walkaround on job completion pointed out minor discrepancies which were gladly and immediately corrected. Check written to honest and Godly Family Man."

"When I met Chris I felt up front that he was the right guy for my job. He had pictures of work he previously worked on. ( just beautiful ) I needed my 10x10 deck stained and sealed. With the 14 steps and balusters that run the length of both areas and set’s pretty high up on large wood deck beams. I hired Chris he got started early morning and finished the job by 3pm same day. I’m very pleased with his work he’s very qualified to take on any job very knowledgeable in his field of work and is very professional he will show up in a vehicle with his logo on it and a shirt logo to. He takes care of your property like he does his own. I highly recommend Chris for your painting needs indoor or outdoor. He’s very trustworthy."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Satin paint is generally considered a better choice for woodwork—including trim, baseboards, cabinets, and doors—than flatter finishes like eggshell or matte. Its soft sheen enhances architectural details and stands up well to frequent cleaning and daily wear. Compared to eggshell and matte finishes, satin is more durable for high-touch areas because it is less porous and doesn't absorb dirt as easily. Matte finishes, in particular, are prone to scuffs and are harder to clean, making them less practical for surfaces like doors and cabinets.

When applying multiple coats, wait four to six hours for each coat to dry. Not waiting long enough can result in streaks, peeling, and uneven color. Plus, it will be more difficult to discern where the second coat has already been applied.

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. 

The staining or painting process involves cleaning the deck, sanding surfaces, applying a primer (if needed), and carefully applying stain or paint for an even, lasting finish.

Yes, it is important to wash your deck before painting to ensure the paint applies well and adheres properly. While you don't have to use a pressure washer, it is one of the most efficient cleaning methods. Pressure washing can quickly remove dirt, wood fibers, and flaked paint, getting deeper into the wood than manual scrubbing. You can also clean the deck with a stiff broom and a cleaning solution. Regardless of the method, a clean surface is essential for good paint adhesion. Make sure the deck is completely dry before applying any paint.
