"We researched for exterior painters on Angi’s List; Home Advisor and also looked through google reviews as well. There are a lot of painters out there, but we did narrow it down to five and obtained estimates from all. We selected Pete of Premier Painting and so happy we did. From the beginning he was timely with his follow up to our calls/emails; he provided an initial estimate based on information and photos and then met with us to do a more detailed estimate (which didn’t change, except for additional items that we decided to include). His estimate was competitive and we just had a “good feeling” that he would be the right fit for us and based on reviews, a good painter. Although we were initially going to be scheduled for Spring of 2022, at the last minute Pete had an opening in the schedule for the end of this season and began in September. His work is great; he sprayed and brushed our home and when he sprayed he back brushed for complete coverage; he is neat; cleans up each day; is organized in his approach on how and what he painted so as the front was done first both trim and body so from the road it looked complete. During the course of his being here, we ended up making some changes in terms of stain treatment for our deck, which resulted in more sanding; adding an item or two and he has always been professional and agreeable. In addition to painting the entire exterior - our deck balusters were all stained brown and he is painting them all white - pretty labor intensive but the finished product is just what we hoped for. For various reasons he ended up painting our home by himself and he is here every day - 6 days a week, weather permitting; is communicative if he won’t be here for weather related reasons - and he even returned our dog when he was leaving and found her down the road. A pleasure to work with; we highly recommend.--"

"I would highly recommend Star Painting!! They transformed my house into something that didn't look good into something beautiful! I absolutely love the job they did. They also were showed up whenever they said they would and finished the job quickly and in the time frame they quoted taking into consideration the rain days. Not to mention they are affordable and the crew was very friendly. I give them an A+"

"Working with Brian and Northern Ridge was a great experience - Excellent pricing and my deck looks terrifi!. Moustafa was a hard worker, very friendly and did a wonderful job staining the deck. Brian came back to look over everything and even made a few touch ups himself - I was very impressed with him and his entire crew. They were a joy to deal with and very professional. I would recommend Northern Ridge to anyone who wants to deal with a customer-oriented company that does excellent work!"

"I recently hired Antonelly Pro Painters, led by Alex, to paint my mother’s living room, dining room, bathroom, and kitchen. They handled the walls, trim, ceiling and doors with excellent craftsmanship and great attention to detail, especially for her 80-year-old home. Alex provided a clear estimate, a reliable schedule, and outstanding communication throughout the project. The refreshed rooms truly made my mother’s day. I highly recommend Antonelly Pro Painters for their professionalism, quality work, and excellent customer service."

"Ricciâ  s Painting just finished their work on my home. I have vinyl siding with wood windows. The team first power washed my house, which made a huge difference. They then had a carpenter come and repair 2 windows with rot. The next day, they painted all the trim and doors. Everything looks great! They started the project on time, completed on schedule, cleaned everything up well, and charged a reasonable fee. Plus Bruno and his team are nice guys. They were a pleasure to work with. Couldnâ  t ask for more!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Choose based on climate, finish preference (glossy, matte), and durability. Tailored coatings also provide longevity.

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

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.

Ensure gutters and downspouts remain clean, monitor wall integrity, and promptly address any arising imperfections or peels concept permanence rooted.
