"We hired MH Painting to repair several large cracks on walls and ceiling, to paint 3 rooms including a bedroom where he sanded and refinished the floor, to paint our hallway and paint and refinish several doors. He also painted our staircase. Matt did an excellent job! He was very skilled and accommodating. We are very pleased with the results and will definitely call on MHPainting for future projects."

"ABDUL WAS VERY RESPONSIVE TO OUR EVERY REQUEST. THIS COMPANY WAS ABLE TO BUILD OUR DECK OVER A CONCRETE PATIO EVEN THOUGH OTHER CONTRACTORS EITHER SAID IT COULD NOT BE DONE OR THEY WOULD HAVE TO BUILD A 3 OR 4 INCH STEP TO GO OVER THE CONCRETE. WE WERE VERY PLEASED WITH THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE."

"A friend advised that we check out Home Advisor, we had never heard about it before so we gave it a chance and I am so happy that we did. We went on their website to review the recommended companies and saw that Handymack Handyman Services stood out with their reviews. We can now see why, we are SO happy with our deck! There were a few minor scheduling mishaps throughout the process, but overall they did a wonderful job. They were willing to do a style of stairs off our deck that they had never done before and were very helpful with the planning process of it all. I was impressed that they did everything in their power to ensure our happiness with the results as well as making sure everything would be up to code, safe and sturdy. I think all parties are very happy with the result! They had great ideas throughout the process that added a personal touch to the deck and made it look even better than imagined. We will definitely use their services for future projects in a heartbeat and will refer to all of our friends as well! We are very satisfied customers that can not wait to enjoy our deck for many years to come!!"

"The team from Precision did an incredible job! They did everything from exterior deck work (repairs, replacement of rotted wood and new sealing stain), to gutting our bathrooms and kitchen for a brand new look, to installing amazing new hardwood floors (perfectly!) to fixing all the small cracks in our plaster walls, before repainting them! They even rebuilt our interior entry stairs from the ground up. They are pros, have competitive pricing and completed the job on time and on budget. A+ for the entire team. Highly recommended."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Limewash and whitewash do not harm surfaces if you apply them correctly. Use on non-suitable surfaces can cause issues. For instance, applying limewash or whitewash to surfaces with existing sealants or incompatible materials may lead to poor adhesion or flaking. Also, harsh cleaning agents on limewashed or whitewashed surfaces can damage the finish. Proper preparation, application, and maintenance ensure that limewash and whitewash do not harm surfaces.

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.

The best way to protect a deck is to prevent damage from UV light, water, mold, mildew, insects, and abrasive cleaning methods. Sweep regularly to prevent debris that hides bugs and traps moisture that can result in mold or mildew growth. Use a deck cleaner once a year to remove algae, mold, and mildew. Avoid using pressure washers on high, as they can damage the wood. Applying a deck sealant can protect the wood from UV and water damage, and adding shade can also reduce sunlight damage.

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.

Pressure-treated wood lasts at least 10 years, but with the right care and treatment, it can last as long as 40 years. Painting the boards is one way to increase the lifespan of pressure-treated wood. The layer of paint provides extra protection for the wood against the exterior elements and insects.
