"Mr. Cortez and his son did an excellent job of prepping and painting my guest room. He certainly knows what he 's doing. They worked hard, courteously, and efficiently, did a very good job of cleaning up afterwards. I would highly recommend them and would use them again."

"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!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

There’s no single paint that’s the most waterproof. Instead, there are several types of waterproof and water-resistant paints that suit different purposes. Epoxy paint, for instance, is commonly used to provide a waterproof coating to floors and decks. Masonry paint is an excellent choice for exterior walls. Meanwhile, there are waterproof acrylic paints that can be used for interior and exterior walls. It’s more about choosing the best type for what you’re painting instead of the most waterproof paint overall.

Two coats of stain are ideal for the best protection and aesthetic appeal. However, if your decking is made of particularly dense hardwood, you may only need one coat. If you want an intense color, two coats are ideal.

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.

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

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.
