"The men that stained our deck were very efficient. They did an amazing job restraining our deck and railings. They cleaned up everything when they were finished. They were very polite and courteous. We highly recommend them."

"I don't often write reviews but feel compelled to do so now to recommend the great work of Adam's Quality Painting...I live in a 36 unit condo complex and Adam is completing this month long project on time and exceeding expectations...Adam's team has gone beyond expectations in terms of the quality of their work, doing so in a considerate and friendly manner...while the job is primarily exterior, there are a number of enclosed decks which had to be accessed indoors, and the team worked hard to fit varying schedules...if you are considering a painting project, large or small, I would encourage you to consider Adam and get an estimate from him...you'll be very glad you did!"

He went above and beyond in making us happy! Needless to say, we highly recommend Diego and Vallen Pro Painters!"

"I needed the backsplash in my kitchen done professionally since I chose tile, which is not something I could do. Torin fit my smaller project in , between his bigger outdoor projects. He was very professional, offered suggestions, did a great job, both installing and cleaning up each day so as not to disrupt my kitchen usage. His measurements and quantities were spot on( I was ordering the tile myself). I will definitely call him for my next project. His quote and finished price were almost spot on and very reasonable. I highly recommend him for anything you need done!"

"Antonelly pro painter company is very professional. Estimate for work to be done was reasonable. I had a two story center hall with multiple doors and a lot of wainscoting. They also painted the hallway area leading up to half bath and bathroom. They were able to repair damage done to walls from wallpaper removal and improve wainscoting area from pet chewing. Prep work and cleanup excellent. Work done in a timely fashion with explanation as needed done every step of the way."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Eggshell and satin finishes are best for porches because they sit in the sweet spot between scuffable matte and distracting high gloss. Your porch sees a fair amount of wear and tear, so you don’t want paint that’ll show every mark like matte, but you don’t want to be blinded by glossy paint in the sun either. Eggshell and satin have durability and a look that sits nicely in the middle.

The opposite is actually true: Wood stains tend to appear lighter when they’re fully dry. However, stains may darken as they weather and oxidize with age. Stains might also darken on surfaces left in direct sunlight, as UV rays can break down pigment particles and cause them to darken over time.

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

An exterior paint job typically lasts between 5 and 10 years, though this can range from 3 to 17 years depending on several factors. The longevity is influenced by the quality of the paint and primer, the quality of the application, the local climate, and the type of surface being painted. For example, paint on wood siding may need to be redone every 3 to 7 years, while painted brick can last up to 17 years. Aluminum siding often needs repainting every 5 years.

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.
