"LMJ owner Luis Jimenez was first class. Competent, knowledgeable and lived up to every inch of our agreement. He installed a 20x20 concrete slab and it turned out exactly as I had hoped. On top of it, his crew was awesome. They were polite and went the extra mile to make sure I was satisfied. Ontime dependable work."

"We hired Five Star Painting this past summer because they had done such a nice job seven years prior. They were extremely profession, from the initial call, through estimate, during the project, and following up afterwards. I would highly recommend them to family or friends."

"Let me tell you about this guy right here. We had just bought our house and my husband was deployed. I was still living in Virginia Beach at the time and would drive back and forth to get the house in order. I found Steve On home advisor and felt comfortable with him right off the bat. I could not get my colors right and he picked up on the direction I was trying to go in and picked my color without me even being present! He sent me pictures and talked to me consistently when I was out of town and I totally put my trust in him. When I got home I was more than surprised and very very happy with the color on the walls! It was exactly what I wanted! Steve is just an all-around awesome person and I would definitely call him before I call anyone else. He has a great listening ear and picked up what I wanted very quickly. Very friendly, pays attention to detail, affordable, and is very trustworthy! I even gave his information to my realtor to give to her clients. I stand behind Steve and his work 100%!!! Will hire again in the near future!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Staining pressure-treated wood is a recommended practice. While inherently resilient, it's not impervious to moisture and UV exposure. Staining treated wood is feasible and recommended for enhanced protection and longevity. Applying stain and sealant safeguards against degradation, prolonging its life span. These measures shield the wood from environmental threats while augmenting its aesthetic appeal, ensuring your investment endures the test of time.

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.

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. 

The best time to paint your deck is when temperatures are neither too cold (below 60 degrees) nor too hot (above 85 degrees). Always paint your deck when there’s no risk of rain. For fast-drying paint like acrylic or latex, ensure your deck can dry for at least four hours. Oil-based paints take longer to dry and may require 48 hours to completely cure.

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.
