"In April / May, 2026, we worked with Missi painting on my Mom's 215 year old Colonial house in Alstead, NH. They gave us a very reasonable estimate to scrape, paint and replace some rotted boards. The crew showed up when they said they would and did a great job, my Mom was super happy with their workmanship, and actually immediately hired them to do some more work on our barn. I live out of state and personally dealt with Fernando, he was super responsive, he sent me texts and emails with the schedule, estimates, work updates, pictures etc. and was on site while the work was being done. The next time we need some painting work done Missi will be the first company I call."

"Putnam Coastal Painting/Jordan did two exterior paint projects for me, one was a two family apartment building and the second was my 1830 Greek Revival farmhouse. Jordan is the consummate professional, focusing on detail and customer satisfaction. My house looks absolutely beautiful! I highly recommend Putnam Coastal Painting/Jordan Martinez for any job, whether extensive or small. Jordan is prompt, conscientious and extremely polite. My neighbors remark everyday when walking by my house on Jordan's work, "Beautiful work..."."

"Nice family business. Had some trouble with some employees getting started but Costas and his dad always took over and made sure everything was great. They did most of the work themselves which was important to me that someone was always on site. My schedule is crazy. Iâ m often not home and I trusted them to be here and get the job done without my oversight. We ran into some challenges, even added a few more jobs to the project. He took in stride, eager for the work and honest and upfront about what he could do what needed to be done? I enjoyed working with him, so Iâ m giving him another project"

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."

"All proceeded very smoothly. Good communication with Pete. Superb attention to detail including a few things that were not in the quote... Pete simply noticed a few necessary repairs around my house and he took care of these things for me. It would have been very difficult to find a contractor for these small repairs but it's great to have things in good shape now thanks to Pete! Great crew, cheerful, thoughtful, highly skilled. Beautiful porch in front of my house, replacing ugly concrete steps. A very nice job. Beautiful re-designed steps in the house for safety. Excellent job installing the new windows. A+ job. This was a big job but Pete made it go very smoothly and I am very happy with the results. I paid a fair price and Pete was open and honest at every stage."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

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.

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.

No, you don't need to stain Ipe decking, although you can if you want to change the color. You will, however, need to apply a UV coating if you don't want the natural color to fade. Speak to a deck staining specialist near you to discuss the best options if you want to stain your decking. And remember that you’ll need to seal your Ipe wood deck annually to protect it from scratches and Mother Nature.

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.
