"Excellent company ... Project was staining a log home & painting a metal sided barn/garage. A very detailed quote showed Michael had listened to me during conversations on phone and visit to our property. Angi has so far been a good source for reliable contractors. Clean Cut Painting employees are very efficient and personable. They showed up each day ready to work and work they did. Ryan kept me informed during the prep process as my log home needed a lot of TLC. Weather cooperated (most of the time) and the project was completed in less than two weeks. Ryan went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied with the quality of his and his crew's work. Attention to detail was excellent. I would hire this company for any painting projects I may have in the future. I've also recommended this company to friends and neighbors. Thank you Clean Cut Painting for a job well done."

"A @ K provided the best all around contracting experience of my 97 years. The contract was for substantial decking and siding repairs and major tree removals. Once a price and a date was set, they showed up and never left until the job was beautifully done. I strongly recommend this company"

"Lleshi Painting has truly raised the property value of my home by his attention to detail, focus and commitment to doing the job right. He literally changed my home from night to day. I had some hideous yellow walls with very ROUGH texture throughout the home. He went above and beyond to the point that the home looks brand new and not from the 70s. He listened to my concerns and requests for a Contemporary/Modern look and delivered as promised beyond my expectations! Dede is an honest man who gave me a fair price, was easy to work with, and finished the job on time. Thank you!"

"I’m very happy with the job this small business did on my old wood deck! It was really worn out, after the painting, it looks fresh and beautiful again. They were very careful with everything—they covered all the areas that didn’t need paint and used tape to make sure the lines were neat. You can tell they care about doing things the right way. They were friendly, on time, and worked hard. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs painting done!"

"We hired Matt to paint our home and apartments, and he did an outstanding job! From the start, he provided a great quote and showed up every day ready to work with professionalism and attention to detail. One thing I really appreciated was Matt’s recommendation to fix the ceiling in our home from a previous painter’s mistakes, which made a huge difference in the final look. He took his time to smooth everything out and ensure a clean, even finish—especially in the front playroom, one of the bedrooms, and our room, where you can really see the transformation. If you’re looking for a reliable and skilled painter, I highly recommend Matt. Thanks again, Matt, for the excellent work!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

Eggshell and satin finishes are best for porches because they sit in the sweet spot between scuffable matte and distracting high gloss. Your porch sees a fair amount of wear and tear, so you don’t want paint that’ll show every mark like matte, but you don’t want to be blinded by glossy paint in the sun either. Eggshell and satin have durability and a look that sits nicely in the middle.

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must. 

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.

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.
