"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!!"

"Great! Sampson painting exceeded my expectations! The painters were so great to work with, they were very respectful of our house, their attention to detail when spackling and painting created a professional painted finish - AND, they finished sooner than expected… what more could you ask for? Also, I completely trusted them in the house, since I had to come and go I made a key for them with no worries whatsoever. When I first contacted them via Angi, they called and arranged an estimate within 24 hours. PS: I got estimates from three companies but knew as soon as I met Tim I was confident I’d found the right company for the job. I was right."

"A1 Gutters responded quickly to my request for a quote. The technician arrived promptly and gave a very fair price to clean my gutters. He worked very well, and professionally. They cleaned out the gutters, hosed them down and made sure they were draining correctly. They also cleaned up any leaves that had fallen to the ground. I was very happy with the work they did. I would use this company again in the future."

"I had to do touch up work myself after the project was completed. When the owner reached out to inquire about another project I had mentioned and I told them about the touch up needs, I didn't hear back."

"The best contractors to work with. I have used them at our medical office, home, and rental properties. They are professional, do quality work, at a reasonable price. Everything they have done for us has lead to people asking who renovated our office, who installed the wall paper, built our custom closets, and did a full kitchen and bathroom remodel. They work around your schedule to keep your business running, and clean up as if they were never there. They pay attention to the small details and make sure your vision comes to life. We never felt nickel and dimed for every little thing. The best part is they are great people who take pride in building relationships and doing quality work."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Avoid using cleaning products that are abrasive or contain bleach or acidic components on composite decking to avoid discoloration. Early-generation Trex decking isn’t designed to handle pressure washer cleaning—and if you use them on second-generation boards, always use a low setting to avoid the risk of damage that can risk voiding your warranty.

If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood’s grain for best results.

Yes, staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan, typically by five to 10 years. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and rot over time. Applying a treatment creates a protective shield that helps prevent splintering, fading, and decay, preserving the wood's strength and appearance. A combination stain and sealer often provides the best protection, as it soaks into the wood grain rather than just sitting on top. This offers superior defense against UV damage and rot and lasts longer than a sealer alone. To maintain the wood's natural look, consider using a near-translucent stain. You should plan to reapply the stain or sealer every two to three years.

It’s a good idea to sand your porch before painting. This will remove loose or chipped paint and debris, and give you a cleaner surface so that your new paint goes on smoothly. But if the existing surface is in good condition, it’s not necessary to sand your porch before you paint.

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.
