"This is the second time I’ve hired Proud Work Ethics in the past 6 months to do painting for me. The first project in the fall was the interior of our garage, and refinishing our deck. The work they performed was so outstanding, that it was easy to hire them back to paint our master bedroom. Professional, courteous, prompt, clean, honest, reasonable and hard working. What more could you ask for in a contractor? Would not hesitate to hire them again, or to recommend their services to anyone in need of a painter."

"Eric takes his time to insure that the prep work is done right. He is careful and very knowledgeable about his craft. He did our trim and shutters that had not been painted in 14 years as well as the old garage door. This required a lot of sanding, scraping and re puttying the windows and doors. They now look almost brand new especially the garage door. His prices are very competitive and much better than the big paint consolidating chains. We will have him back to refinish our kitchen cabinets. You can trust Eric to do a first class job."

"On the Job Painting exceeded our expectations. They just completed an exterior paint job of our shingles and trim. The crew was prompt, clean, courteous and meticulous with their work. Keith checked in regularly to insure we were being taken care of. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a painting contractor, and I will contact them again if we decide to do any interior painting work in the future. You may get quotes from other companies that come in lower, but do not be fooled. On the Job Painting performs at a higher quality than the average company. For this type of investment we are happy we chose them over other bids."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

The longevity of paint on wood depends on factors like the quality of the paint, surface preparation, exposure to elements, and maintenance. Exterior paint on wood surfaces can last 5 to 15 years or more with proper care and maintenance. Interior paint tends to have a longer life span, often 10 years or more. Regular cleaning, touch-ups, and addressing any issues like peeling or cracking can extend the life of the paint. 

Yes, staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan, typically by five to 10 years. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and rot over time. Applying a treatment creates a protective shield that helps prevent splintering, fading, and decay, preserving the wood's strength and appearance. A combination stain and sealer often provides the best protection, as it soaks into the wood grain rather than just sitting on top. This offers superior defense against UV damage and rot and lasts longer than a sealer alone. To maintain the wood's natural look, consider using a near-translucent stain. You should plan to reapply the stain or sealer every two to three years.

Exterior paints contain more volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, making them dangerous when used indoors. Without the free ventilation of the great outdoors, it can take longer for the fumes to dissipate than interior paint. While you may notice the smell lessening more quickly, you should be wary of paint fumes inside for 48 to 72 hours after it dries.

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.

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.
