"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."

"Greg did an excellent job with our deck. I'd recommend him to anyone who needs their deck fixed. He was flexible enough to arrange payments using credit cards as well and that meant a lot."

"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."

"Nick was polite, friendly and professional. When he arrived to give me an estimate he wore a mask, which I appreciated. He texted me the night before the job to confirm he would be at my house the next morning, and he texted me in the morning to let me know what time he would arrive. He did a great job power washing my front porch and rear deck for a reasonable price. I would definitely hire him again."

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.

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.

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.

Whether you can paint over your existing paint depends on what’s on there. Most of the time, you’ll want to sand down or scrape off the paint that’s currently coating your surface. Epoxy paint, for example, won’t let new paint stick to the surface. Latex paint is more forgiving and will accept a new coat, but a primer is recommended if you’re switching colors.
