"Torin and his team did a wonderful job upgrading our original 1980s kitchen. He was flexible with its construction ‘quirks’ and helped me find materials within my budget. Kitchen remodel included cabinets countertops & lighting. Torin is detailed and thorough. He shows up on time, is clean and personable. Throughout the project, he took on smaller fixes including replacing my bathroom faucet, fixing the drafty front door & hiding the TV cable wires behind the wall. Overall very satisfied with his work."

"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."

"Excellent company to have any painting and all household repairs done by. They have been doing any and all work in my home for six years. Indoor and outdoor painting and repairs etc. They pay attention to all detail at all times and have excellent suggestions as to the best way to make the repairs. Honest and most reasonable pricing on every job. Efficient and honorable and very time conscious. You will not find another company, that will give you excellent man power and customer service. I have had work done by other companies and there is simply no competition out there to even compare them with. Efficiency and great work ethics has always been part of their priority. C&S paint is by far the best."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Liquid rubber is great for waterproofing, but it can damage your deck if it’s not applied correctly. First, it can trap moisture in the wood if the deck isn’t completely dry before application.  Second, applying it too thickly can create a heavy, rubbery surface layer that peels and cracks under fluctuating temperatures. For the best results, ensure the wood is completely dry before application, and apply the liquid rubber in thin, even coats. A quick inspection every now and then will help you catch any issues early, keeping your deck protected and looking its best.

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.

Yes, you must thoroughly clean your deck before staining. If you don't, dirt, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped between the wood and the new stain. This not only looks unsightly but also prevents the stain from penetrating the wood properly, reducing its ability to protect the deck from weather and UV rays. As a result, the stain won't last as long or look as good. Any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage. Always wait at least 48 hours after cleaning for the wood to dry completely before applying stain.

Deck staining or painting safeguards wood against the elements through its protective layer, enhancing decay resistance, prolonging structural integrity, and improving visual appeal.

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.
