"The owner Eric was great and always kept me up-to-date on the project timeline (I was painting my deck and obviously it was dependent on weather). He was very professional, and his two painters Edgar and Diego were wonderful. They were very thorough and the deck looks like new! Thank you Red, White and Blue painting!!"

"I had removed the carpet from my stairs so I could stain and refinish them. Then building contractors had got a lot of paint on the steps. I needed to remove the paint before I could stain and finish them. In the process of removing the paint and staining and finishing them, I got stain on the sides and some paint came off when I removed the tape. I tried painting the sides myself but was getting paint on the steps. I decided to get a professional and went with Eagles Painting. Flavio came when he said he would and did an excellent job. He was professional and very polite. I would definitely use him in the future for all my painting needs."

"Mike and his team will have the utmost respect for your property, extremely professional and treated my home as if it were his own. The time management aspect of Mike and his crew was exceptional as well. Mike also went above and beyond to repair our gutters because he identified an issue with the pitch. They painted our entire exterior along with our shutters, not a speckle of paint outside of where the paint was supposed to go!! I would highly recommend Moxie Home projects to anyone that is in need of a professional contractor. I will absolutely use this team in the future!"

"Good as Gold brought my two level deck back to life. They used the highest quality materials and supplies. The deck boards are median cocoa color, spindles and railings white. I love the contrast. It s a master piece! Greg was so great to work with. I will have them back to do more work inside the home."

"They cut a hole in the ceiling to see if there was a water leak. Since there wasn’t an obvious one, they repaired the hole and painted the other stains with anti-mold paint. Then they repainted the entire kitchen ceiling."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must. 

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths

The best time to paint your deck is when temperatures are neither too cold (below 60 degrees) nor too hot (above 85 degrees). Always paint your deck when there’s no risk of rain. For fast-drying paint like acrylic or latex, ensure your deck can dry for at least four hours. Oil-based paints take longer to dry and may require 48 hours to completely cure.

Deciding whether to stain or paint a pool deck depends on your budget, desired look, and the deck's material. Both options can work. Paint offers a wider variety of color options, provides excellent water resistance, and can last longer. However, it requires a primer and can eventually fade or peel. Stain is often cheaper, easier to apply, and penetrates the wood for a more natural look and longer-lasting finish. It also has great water resistance. The downsides are fewer color options and the need for a sealant. The choice can also depend on the deck material; for example, staining may be a better option for concrete as it bonds well and lasts longer than paint.
