"Im am very happy I found this company! Thanks Nick and Marshal for the outstanding work. Their quality/detail is unbeatable! They went above and beyond to meet my expectations. They had a tough job to fix a deck that someone else built so poorly. They explained what could be done, what could improve but also what couldnâ t be fixed entirely. The only thing was that my budged was tight, but I also requested other things outside the quote he gave me. The only thing I would do different next time was to purchase all the items in advance and ask them to install. That would create less trips for them to the store prior to initiate the service/project. Thanks Nick and Marshal with everything. I hope to hire you next time."

"I hired Putnam Coastal Painting through Angi. I listed my job and within 5 minutes, Meghan from Putnam called me to schedule an estimate. Jordan was here exactly at the appointed time a day later. I received a quote via email shortly after, which I accepted, then a phone call to schedule. The morning of the job, they called to make sure we were still on, since Mike was going to be travelling an hour to get here. I confirmed. He was on time, with everything he needed. Mike was kind, professional, and polite. There was one more follow-up text to see if I was pleased with the job, and to ask for a rating, which I was happy to do. The job was a plaster failure, about 3'X3' on a leaning inward wall. Mike did a fantastic job repairing it. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Putnam again! The communication was great, without being too much. Sometimes the Angi app is TOO MUCH."

"True north has done many projects for us and recently did our back deck which ended up changing into a screened in porch.

Customers say: Quality work

"There are a lot of great things to say about Bill. First of all, he can do ANYTHING. Bill replaced siding, installed new plywood and Tyvec, painted my house and deck, built a new front porch, repaired and built new features on my back deck, eliminated rot, installed new gutters, re-insulated my basement, and even fixed a closet door in my house. He is a perfectionist and will treat your house like it is his own. Our house was in really rough shape before Bill came and now it looks stunning. We get compliments on it all the time. If you want someone that will do the job right, won't cut corners, and is a very nice person to work with - Bill is your guy."

"My project has just started. So far, I'm extremely impressed. The owner came out to give me an estimate, and discuss what I wanted for my home exterior staining. Very professional, courteous, and honest. The first stage of washing my home to prepare for staining was also impressive. The foreman who is overseeing the project arrived, and again reviewed everything that will take place. The crew then cleaned my home in only 2 hours! Again very impressive. Prior to leaving, they neatly stacked all the ladders that they used completely out of the way, which is even more important to me because I have a large dog on a run who loves to get into trouble with new objects in the yard. So far, I'm extremely happy with Northern Ridge and highly recommend them."

"As the president of our condo association, I hired Alijah to brighten up the front of our condo by staining our mahogany decks, painting our front doors, and painting our front porch railings. After 5 years, our 5 buildings and 14 units needed a fresh clean look. Alijah and his team provided just that. Attention to detail with high-quality service! Alijah arrived each day, on time, eager to work, and stayed until the job was done! Our association is very happy with E.C.E Painting and would highly recommend them."

"Levi and his crew painted our entire downstairs when we redid our kitchen. They did the baseboard, ceilings, and all the way up the stairs. They fixed the cracks in the walls and did such a great job. I highly recommend him. My cat, who likes to the be the center of attention, got a lot of entertainment from the painters and he (the cat) even got a Christmas card from Levi that year!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Apply a wood stain or sealant to properly maintain a wood deck railing and keep it looking new. Sealants protect wood from moisture and weathering. Regularly inspect the railing for loose screws, damaged balusters, and other signs of wear to make timely repairs. Routinely clean the railing using mild soap, water, and a soft bristle brush.

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

You have a couple of options when choosing a durable pool deck coating. Epoxy is common and offers excellent stain and water resistance. Epoxy also withstands high temperatures and UV lighting, making it ideal for sunny spots. You can also add a coating to cement, which significantly lowers the temperature of the concrete, is environmentally safe, and makes cleanup a breeze.

Choosing the right product involves understanding deck material, desired finish, and local weather conditions. Opt for high-quality, weatherproof formulations ensuring long-term durability and appearance retention.

While the answer varies based on weather, 10 a.m. is a good time to start painting. The dew will have dried, meaning there’s no moisture on the house, and the temperature will likely be moderate and the sunlight less direct. Starting mid-morning should also give you enough daylight and pleasant weather to work on the job for several hours.
