"I normally do not take the time to do reviews but Mike is an exception. My mother needed her front porch re-painted. Upon arrival, Mike was punctual and with a "one of the guys" persona. I described what needed to be done and with a professional manner, he said he'll handle it. Fast forward in time when all was said and done, not only was the porch completely done but he noticed that the entrance door trim needed touching up and went ahead and did that without charging me extra! You are what you do not what you say and Mike is both professional and makes you feel like family. 10/10 would recommend."

"As a first-time homeowner, finding the right contractor for a major renovation project was incredibly important to me and my family. We recently purchased a colonial-style home in Abington that needed significant cosmetic updates and repairs before we could move in. Wesley and the team at WNP Painting and Remodeling exceeded every expectation. In just two and a half weeks, they completely transformed our home. Their work included wallpaper removal, painting the entire interior, electrical and plumbing repairs, deck updates, fence installation, door installation, shutters, exterior trim work, luxury vinyl plank flooring, carpet installation, and much more. The quality of the work was outstanding, and the attention to detail was evident throughout the entire project. What impressed me most was Wesley's communication, honesty, and leadership. Since this was my first home renovation, I relied heavily on his expertise. He kept me informed every step of the way, explained issues when"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, you must thoroughly clean your deck before staining. If you don't, dirt, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped between the wood and the new stain. This not only looks unsightly but also prevents the stain from penetrating the wood properly, reducing its ability to protect the deck from weather and UV rays. As a result, the stain won't last as long or look as good. Any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage. Always wait at least 48 hours after cleaning for the wood to dry completely before applying stain.

Wood stain is not flammable after it dries. The solvent in wood stain is what causes the liquid form to be highly flammable, but the stain drying process involves the solvents dissolving, which leaves behind a non-flammable product on your wood project. Wood stain is, however, flammable before you apply it, so you should always store partially full cans and used wood stain rags away from sources of heat and open flames.

Opt for an interior wood stain that is rated for your type of wood. Consider your personal style preferences as well as the overall use of the room when choosing a color. Remember, the color you see at the store may look different on your actual floors once applied. This is why if you have the chance, it’s helpful to test a few options on a scrap piece of wood in the room first. Once you narrow it down, you can test a small patch on an inconspicuous area in the room to see it on the actual floors.

If you have wood decking, there are several common deck problems that you might encounter. For example, your natural wood boards may fade over time due to things like sunlight, weather, and debris. On top of that, some types of wood decking can rot, grow mold, and attract destructive pests—including termites, carpenter ants, and woodpeckers.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.
