"Over the course of the last year Grady Jones Paint has worked for me on (3) different occasions to repaint our home interior. The scope of work included scraping the popcorn ceilings, flattening them and then repainting them; repainting all of the walls; painting our cabinetry; and, finally, staining the exposed woodwork on our deck. Clee was very responsive and visited the project every time his workers were on site. Tim and Eddie made up the crew who did the work. They were amicable, professional, courteous and did a GREAT job. I plan to use Grady Jones Paint for any future work and recommend them to anyone in need of a paint contractor."

"David Silva was quick to respond to an inquiry and came out twice prior to doing the job, first to provide a quote, second to review paint/finish selections. He and his crew finished a job early and were able to come out sooner than expected and got the entire job done in less time they had anticipated. Everyone was very professional and cleaned up after the job was finished, even mopped all the floors. David is very professional and knowledgeable. I would definitely hire him again."

"Distinctive Coatings did an excellent job on the commercial interior paint work at Blue Water Spa. The space looks clean, polished, and exactly what we envisioned. Their team was professional, reliable, and respectful of our timeline, which was really important with an active business. The attention to detail shows in every room, and the finish completely elevated the space. Based on our experience, we would confidently recommend Distinctive Coatings for both commercial and residential painting projects."

"Great job! Paz submitted a thorough and professional quote of a reasonable amount. Other bids were more and less. His was the one I felt best about. He was accurate in fulfilling my requests and Andreas and Tony were excellent workers and of a great attitude...a joy to have on our property. The carpentry crew that redid the screen was good, too....just didn't get their names. They did great job, cleaned up after each day and took all debris away. Very good experience and I highly recommend Paz and his crew!"

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

You should refinish your deck to maintain its appearance, durability, and longevity. Refinishing your deck protects the wood from foot traffic and the elements. It also helps extend its life span by keeping rot, mildew, and termites at bay. By maintaining your deck, you can avoid the cost of replacing your deck sooner. A refinished deck also looks great and restores some of its original beauty.

Painting a damaged pool deck is not recommended if the substrate is crumbling, cracking, spalling, or otherwise actively deteriorating. Continuing deterioration will result in the paint also delaminating or flaking off the damaged surface. Minor damage such as chips or hairline cracks that are not actively deteriorating can often be repaired enough to paint over. A damaged pool deck with a lot of cracking and deterioration should be replaced for best results.

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.

The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage. 

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.
