"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."

Customers say: True professional

"They did an amazing job staining our log home and painting the porch and railings that surrounds 3 sides of the house. They did all the cleaning, caulking, scraping, then 2 coats of stain. They even came back for touch ups. The house looks wonderful. They were great to work with, left no mess… very professional and used only the best quality stain and paint. I’d definitely recommend them!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. 

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.

The plastic in composite decking boards protects them enough that you do not need to paint them to prevent warping. In fact, painting composite decking voids the warranty of some manufacturers. Painting can also increase maintenance on the deck, as you must paint regularly to keep it looking its best.

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. 

It is not always necessary to remove old stain before restaining a deck. If the previous stain is in good condition and is compatible with the new stain, you may be able to apply a new coat after thorough cleaning. However, if the old stain is in bad condition, flaking, or peeling, it is best to remove it completely to ensure an even surface and proper adhesion for the new coat. Staining over a damaged layer can lead to an uneven finish and poor penetration. For best results, test a small area first and consult the stain manufacturer's guidelines.
