"My 1995 oak cabinets were painted white and the doors and drawer faces were replaced and then painted. They look beautiful! I also had a custom cabinet built along with a kitchen island. The craftsmanship is on point! My kitchen transformation looks amazing. I would definitely recommend Palette Pro!"

"Matt and his crew did a fantastic job of painting our new condo. In addition, they worked around our schedule of moving things in. They also went above and beyond, fixing a few small things such as reattaching a dislodged piece of baseboard."

"We had our exterior of our house painted and the deck stained. Jay took the time to explain the whole process and answered all of our questions (and we had a lot of questions!). The detailed quote outlining all of the work to be done was excellent and helped us understand what exactly was going to be done. It is clear he takes pride in the work that he and his teams do. There was open communication throughout the process and the job was very well done. Jay, Jose, and the crew were professional and the results of the job clearly demonstrates that."

"I highly recommend Corri General Construction. I hired them to paint two bedrooms in my home. Their prices were very reasonable. They were professional and able to start the project right away and completed in timely. I look forward to using them again for other upcoming projects in my home."

"Nilton and his team were fantastic. I contacted them via a coupon on Angie's list and we came to an agreement to help me finish the stain (they ended up doing the majority of and finishing the work for a VERY fair price). Very clean job with no paint on the house or grounds. Highly recommend."

Customers say: Quick response

"First I was planning to power-wash and stain the deck, but Orlando talked me into power-wash the whole house and paint as well. The price was reasonable. Even though the work was postponed due to the rain, Orlando called and emailed constantly to give me their schedule. They exchanged the top part of the deck and repaired here and there, and I find their carpentry skills are excellent. I definitely will ask him to do something around the house in the future."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

You don’t necessarily have to remove all the old paint before repainting your deck, but it’s best to remove as much as possible to ensure a smooth and long-lasting finish. Prioritize scraping off loose, peeling, or flaking paint, and sand down rough areas to create a smooth surface for the new paint to bond with.

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.

Choose based on climate, finish preference (glossy, matte), and durability. Tailored coatings also provide longevity.

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.

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.
