"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!"

Not only was he efficient, but Jospeh took his own time to help my neighbor with a hard to reach area on his break. Stand up company with customers first mentality."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

When choosing between deck stain or paint, knowing what will last longer is important. Deck paint lasts longer than deck stain. With deck paint, you can get up to 10 years of coverage before you need to reapply. With deck stain, that time is significantly shorter at two to three years

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.

You don’t necessarily have to remove all the old paint before repainting your deck, but it’s best to remove as much as possible to ensure a smooth and long-lasting finish. Prioritize scraping off loose, peeling, or flaking paint, and sand down rough areas to create a smooth surface for the new paint to bond with.

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

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.
