"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."

"I would absolutely recommend All Seasons. They were very professional, honest, and fair with their pricing. They also showed up on time and finished the job on time. Their work is impeccable, and they paid attention to every last detail. I liked them and their work so much that before they even completed painting my home, I pre-booked them to come back and paint my deck. I will continue to use them for any future projects that remain."

"The crew was timely, quick and neat in completing the job. They painted over half of the entire interior including the ceilings. We will have them do the remainder of the interior when we are ready to have it done. Very responsive to any concerns we raised at the finish and made sure they were addressed to our satisfaction."

"My husband and I hired Edy’s Quality Painting to paint the entire interior of our home. We chose them after reaching out to multiple companies because their pricing was reasonable and customer service impeccable. Rich, the person responsible for organizing Edy’s schedule was the first person to get back to us and the only person to explain in detail what we could expect if we hired them. Rich is also so personable; I felt like I was talking to an uncle every time I spoke to him. Once we hired them, it was evident that Edy is a true artist who takes pride in his work. Edy is also very considerate; he made a special trip back to paint our floor molding, as he knew we were getting our floors refinished. We were so happy with their service we hired Edy to come back and paint our stair railing. Even then, he made a special trip to finish the railing to ensure the weather permitted proper drying. We plan to hire them again in the near future to paint our deck and highly recommend them overall."

"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."

"This company was terrific. They were very courteous, on time, efficient thorough and incredibly energetic. They did a great job on a large duplex with LOTS of mold and mess and the place looks like new. They also exceeded the requirements by power washing my fences, block along the driveway and even did the outside furniture! A couple of neighbors stopped by to admire their work and enquire as to their availability. They deserve a VERY high rating, You will be pleased. :-)"

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

Adding a second coat of stain to wood can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.

You’ll want to avoid excessively hot or humid conditions, so it’s best to apply your stain in late spring to early fall. It's also important to watch the weather forecast and aim for days when there isn’t rain expected for at least three days. For new decks, allow the wood to season beforehand for at least four to eight weeks.

If your biggest concern is making sure your deck doesn’t show dirt, opt for a darker neutral color that blends in well with your surrounding landscape. A rich brown or dark grey are both good options that work with a variety of house colors. A high-quality acrylic paint is easy to clean and maintain, so it might be worth spending the money on.

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.

For homes in areas with extreme weather, high heat, or intense sun exposure, high-quality acrylic paint is the best option. Acrylic paint is durable, resistant to both heat and cold, and provides a protective barrier with excellent UV resistance. For best results, look for acrylics that contain natural earth pigments, which are better suited for resisting sun damage. While oil-based paint is also durable, it can be prone to fading in high heat and can become too viscous to apply easily in cold temperatures. Additionally, choosing a neutral or light color like gray, beige, or white can help, as these colors absorb less heat than darker shades.
