"From start to finish this was the easiest thing I’ve ever done. Brad came to my house and spent about 45 minutes looking at the area, discussing the project, and getting to know me. He answered all of my questions and even left a brochure. I had a detailed quote within two days. My project was scheduled within two weeks. The day of Brad came to the house and introduced me to the three painters. They were on time, professional, and polite. They updated me throughout the day and cleaned everything up when finished. Brad then followed up with me later in the evening. They made everything easy by signing contract, paint approval, final approval and payment done all online. I would not hesitate to use this company again."

"Great job on re-staining and sealing the exterior of our house which has a log cabin look. We had some challenges in regards to the weather not always cooperating, but he kept us well informed. We've asked him to give us some quotes on interior work next."

"Bryan was great to work with. He was prompt, polite & personable. But he also did an excellent job. We bought a new home and part of the living room ceiling had an area where a repair had been made but never painted. Bryan matched the ceiling paint and covered the repaired area, saving us hundreds of dollars by not having to paint the entire ceiling. We will definitely use True Finish Painting for future projects. We highly recommend them."

"CertaPro did a very nice job. It looked great. I had many neighbors compliment me about the quality and color selection. Ann Marie was the sales associate I worked with. She was very professional and took the time to answer any questions, even if it was on a weekend. The project was managed very well. All done within the timeframe agreed upon. I would have given them a 5, but they did not remove the light and plug fixtures before painting. It was my understanding that they would. They were very easy to get to and would have taken very little time. I removed anything else that was attached that was not to be painted. I would highly recommend them to anyone and would use them again for any future projects"

"My experience with Tracy "Tray" Hollingsworth was tremendous. We hired Tray initially to do some backyard deck repairs and staining, and his quality of work and strong communications were so excellent that we hired him for some additional activities that centered on exterior painting and some handyman tasks. I look forward to working with Tray again - - he is the BEST!"

"They did a fabulous job for us. This father and son owned business were very considerate of our needs and did a wonderful service for us. I will be having them back to paint the interior of our house, and will be recommending them to family and friends. They returned to our home a few days after they completed the job to see if we were satisfied with their work. We definitely were!"

"Ray replaced some bad siding in various places, installed a new door/trim, added a gutter and ended up replacing windows for us. Sometimes weather and available workers were challenging, but he always kept me informed and was very pleasant to work with. Satisfied with the work and so far no issues-"

"They did wallpaper and painting for me. They had quite a crew! They did everything I asked and were happy to make changes, going above and beyond for me. Really communicative, responsive, and professional. For the amount of work they did in all the different areas of my home, I felt the price was reasonable. I was very pleased with them. I plan on using them again when I'm ready to paint my exterior!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.

You don't need to seal your deck after painting it because most exterior paints are waterproof and weather-resistant. While stealing is not necessary, it can add an additional layer of protection.

It’s best to use an exterior latex acrylic paint to promote maximum adhesion to composite decking. This flexible paint type can better cope with the natural expansion and contraction that can occur with composite deck boards. Oil-based paints won’t adhere as effectively and are more likely to crack and peel as the boards flex. Testing whether your chosen paint will stick on an inconspicuous section or a spare board is a good idea.

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.

If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood’s grain for best results.
