"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."

"MAS General Contractor fixed cracked and broken plaster ceiling. MAS is highly professional from start to finish. He provided an honest quote of the project along with possible options. He was patient with answering all my questions as he explained the process step by step. He was also extremely respectful of the property and the furniture by making sure all was covered. Final project turned out great."

"Design Painting did an excellent job tackling the tough job we had for them. Our second-floor walkup rental unit in North Brooklyn hadn't been painted in nearly 10 years when our longtime tenant moved out in May. There was not only years of **** and possibly smoke accumulation to deal with but also lots of holes, mollies and dents in the walls and ceilings to tackle. In addition, timing was an issue as we had a family medical emergency smack dab in the middle of when the job was meant to start. Design Painting worked with us and around our difficulties. We had a good feeling from the get-go, when Nick arrived to do an on-site estimate and presented as friendly, knowledgeable and professional. He got back to us quickly with an excellent bid. It was not the absolute lowest we got but we accepted it because of the firm's reputation and presentation. Point person Jeremy was helpful with the scheduling and on-site workers who arrived to complete the job (5 rooms, walls and ceilings) were professional, friendly and efficient. They got the whole project done in 3 days. We're very pleased with the results and recommend Design Painting wholeheartedly."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Provided conditions are ideal, staining an entire deck should take as little as a couple of hours and up to a couple of days to apply and cure. Additional procedures, like sealing a deck or using additional treatments, may extend the project by a few additional days.

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.

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.

The best paint for an older deck depends on the material and whether or not your deck already has a coat of paint. Generally, if your deck already has paint on it, you should choose the same type of paint when repainting the deck. For example, if an old deck has oil-based paint on it, stick with oil; if your deck has water-based paint, choose water-based paint. 

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.
