"We couldn’t be happier with the work GVR painting company did on our new home in Calabash, NC! They painted the entire house, inside and out, and their workmanship was truly impeccable. From start to finish, they were professional, meticulous, and took great pride in their work. We would wholeheartedly recommend GVR to anyone looking for a painting company they can trust!"

"I have been working with GCC for the past 6 months. They are professional, hand-on with their team and reverent in the homes they repair. We have used them to manage renovations as well as minor repairs. They have repaired everything except major electrical issues. Additionally, they have had to "come behind" the work of other vendors we have used and have seamlessly integrated a finished product each time! I highly recommend them as contractors, carpentry experts, great partners for Home Renovation and Repair!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.

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. 

Adding a second coat of stain to wood can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.

If you have wood decking, there are several common deck problems that you might encounter. For example, your natural wood boards may fade over time due to things like sunlight, weather, and debris. On top of that, some types of wood decking can rot, grow mold, and attract destructive pests—including termites, carpenter ants, and woodpeckers.

It’s often best to spray on deck sealer. Sprayers can apply sealant more quickly and evenly than rolling while still enabling you to reach tight spaces. When using a sprayer, always use a low-pressure setting at a close distance to ensure an even application. Avoid using sprayers on windy days.
