"Memo and his crew are wonderful. They have done several renovation jobs on our old brick house. Very communicative and committed to customer satisfaction. We are thrilled with the latest project: 2 replacement windows, exterior wall insulation, drywall ceiling over plaster, and crown moulding. They were so respectful of sealing off the work area and leaving everything immaculate!"

"Spiro and his team were very professional, courteous and responsive during the staining of my home. We were changing the color (significantly) of our home and this was a difficult process for us but in the end we were very satisfied with Spiro's recommendations and especially the overall price and quality of the work. I would recommend SRP to anyone!"

"Juan was great! His workers are excellent! Prices were fair, they showed up on time, were neat and clean. Our house looks great and it was a difficult project as our center hall has 30 foot ceilings. They painted the family room, living room, dining room, kitchen and center hall. I would certainly recommend them to anyone considering painting their home."

"The work we had done recently was not limited to painting the outside of my home! Vito has such great vision, and all of his recommendations were included in the work: power-washing the patio and walkways; painting the back shed and finishing the hardware; special black oil painting of the gates and fence and mailbox, etc. They all did a wonderful job and followed up! I wouldn't hesitate to set up a schedule to have other projects done by Vito and his Fantasia crew! Just wonderful!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

Staining a deck is typically less expensive upfront than painting. The cost to stain a deck professionally averages around $850, with most homeowners paying between $550 and $1,250, depending on the deck's size. A DIY staining project can cost less than $100. The cost to paint a deck ranges from $500 to $2,000. While the initial cost of staining is lower, it's important to consider long-term expenses. Paint can last up to 10 years, whereas stain needs to be reapplied every few years, which could lead to higher costs over time.

Waterproof paint creates a barrier to hold back moisture, but it doesn’t eliminate the source of the water. If you hire a basement waterproofing contractor, many will tell you that waterproof paint is only a temporary solution. On average, you can expect it to last from six months to two years in a wet basement before deteriorating.

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.
