"Wow! Eduardo and his team did a fantastic job! As first time going through an exterior house painting project, I did not know what to really expect. DJ painting went above my expectations and more! Not only did they do a fantastic job on the main house, they painted my flower boxes, gutters, all the trim, and even fixed some wood rot on my garage door frame! I would not hesitate to hire again!"

"Nick gave us a reasonable estimate and a good warranty(5 years) on their work. We had to wait awhile because of continual rain, but then they were here when things dried up. Julio (I hope I'm spelling that right) and his workers were unrelenting during their hours and days here. Their stamina and professional attitude and quality craftsmanship was refreshing. The house was carefully covered, taped and sprayed. That was the quick and relatively easy part. The difficult, labor intensive part was the deck and associated lattice work which was done in a very detailed manner. They left the house and grounds clean and neat. I am a very demanding homeowner and I found nothing wrong with their work and can only give them praise. Bravo!

"We were pleased to have hired Richard. He is a go-getter and was very proactive, customer focused and engaged through the process. The up front engagement/sales process was professional and smoothly transacted. Richard responded to all our questions in person and in emails and with photos. He also made a recommendation for a deck repair person that we engaged and were pleased with. During execution we did have some re-work which is what drives the overall rating to be a 4. We had a "supervisor"/lead person here throughout the job being one of the two workers but it is also this supervisor's work both in painting and in wood/caulking repair that had to be re-done. Had I not been home to spot the painting issue where wood was painted that was supposed to be left bare and was clearly delineated by Richard to the worker and in photos, the re-work would have been much more of a challenge but was fixed with paint remover and not too much effort. The wood/caulking work was quite clearly not well done initially by the "supervisor" either and was therefore redone when we pointed out our dissatisfaction in a walk through. I didn't have faith in the "supervisor"/lead person. The second person worked tirelessly and was what I'd call the workhorse. One thing that might have been improved is to have had a clearly communicated final inspection plan and date as I was a bit unclear when was to be called done as we had several walk throughs. Having several walk throughs is a positive thing but it would have been better to have the final clearly planned and communicated. Overall we recommend and are repeat Certapro Customers having used them at another home we owned in another state which is what drove us to favor the Company this time around."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Deck staining or painting safeguards wood against the elements through its protective layer, enhancing decay resistance, prolonging structural integrity, and improving visual appeal.

For the longest-lasting exterior paint, consider acrylic or enamel (oil-based) paints. Acrylic paints, including acrylic latex and acrylic enamel, are known for withstanding harsh weather and sun exposure. Enamel-based paints are also one of the most durable options available. While latex paint is common, it typically has a shorter lifespan than acrylic or oil-based options. The paint's finish also affects its durability; a higher gloss finish is generally more durable. For resistance to moisture and cracking, matte and satin finishes can be effective, while a high-gloss acrylic or oil-based paint offers a combination of maximum longevity and durability.

While the answer varies based on weather, 10 a.m. is a good time to start painting. The dew will have dried, meaning there’s no moisture on the house, and the temperature will likely be moderate and the sunlight less direct. Starting mid-morning should also give you enough daylight and pleasant weather to work on the job for several hours.

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

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.
