"Petar did a great job staining my fence and am very pleased with his work and the end result. I have hired Petar for several jobs now and he always exceeds my expectations with his meticulous work ethic, fair pricing and being such a pleasure to work with. He always strives for customer satisfaction and will not disappoint in any way. Highly recommended."

"Gary and crew of three arrived early every day and got the project done ahead of schedule. Gary was on-site for the entire project and resolved unexpected issues after wallpaper removal. He even went the extra mile and painted an upstairs hallway that adjoined a space that had wallpaper removed. He said it just wouldn't look right if that was not painted. Cleanup was thorough and even had trash out at the curb in time for pickup. Highly recommend DeLuca Painters!"

"All‘s well that ends well. The house looks great, and the windows are great. There were some glitches with the workers, accidentally breaking a window, laying the windows on the grass, so that the sun burns the grass. And leaving some paint on the windows. The owner make sure all was corrected . So I am satisfied!"

"We were very pleased with the results. House looks great. Price was fair and reasonable. Joe DiBlasi was on site everyday with a crew of 5 painters who were professional and courteous throughout the project. This was a large home with cedar siding which required much prep work before they could even begin staining. Bushes were covered, and at the end of the day, the old stain scraped from the siding was swept and vacuumed up. Staining the house and painting of trim was done with excellent quality workmanship. When we are looking for someone to paint the interior of our home, we will call Joel."

"Cedric is always professional and punctual. He takes great pride in his work and always shows up when he says he is going to. Cedric painted my entire kitchen, including the cabinets and then we added the entire first floor and stairs up to the second floor. TBD on what else I will want done at this point but you can be sure I’ll be calling Cedric to do it! Highly recommend Marine 1 for interior paint and cabinet painting."

"Kelvin and Ryan were nothing short of exceptional throughout the entire process. Their communications were always immediate, professional, and accommodating. We always felt like they truly cared about the job, its outcome, and our home?they quickly became trusted. Ryan?s expertise and devotion to the job were impressive. There are a lot of painters out there, but Ryan really went the extra mile at each moment?never rushed, always thoughtful, like he was working on his own house. It rained in the middle of the job which of course changed the schedule, but it was clear that once the weather cleared returning to our home was a priority. Lots of ?Buffalo? in this company, they named it appropriately, ?Gold Neighbors? for sure! We will be calling them for all of our future painting/staining needs."

"Haley Hills, owner of Pretty Painters does an excellent job at whatever she does! She went with us to the carpet store to coordinate our new wall color of paint with our new carpet color. She bricked our fireplace. She was always on time, neat, cleaned up at the end of the day. Very professional lady! I highly recommend her! You won't be disappointed ?"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.

Always wait until the morning dew has dried before you stain your deck. The stain needs a fully dry surface to sink into.

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

It’s often best to spray on deck sealer. Sprayers can apply sealant more quickly and evenly than rolling while still enabling you to reach tight spaces. When using a sprayer, always use a low-pressure setting at a close distance to ensure an even application. Avoid using sprayers on windy days.
