"Anabel did a fantastic job. He painted my daughter’s room which required painting stripes on the walls and he did a beautiful job. He is a true artisan. He painted my bedroom and a high ceiling over our staircase. All done beautifully. He is neat, accurate and a very nice man. I would highly recommend Anabel."

"Dennis does great work at reasonable prices. He is professional, prompt, and neat. He painted our entire house and went above and beyond by fixing some of our walls that had some imperfections that we didn't figure in to the price. We plan on using Dennis again in the spring to paint the exterior of our house."

"Joshua, the Project Manager in Dallas suggested Romabio for my brick exterior; I was not aware of this product, but after researching it, I decided on it rather than staining or latex painting. No other painting company I got a quote from even mentioned Romabio. I am very pleased with the result, knowing that it will outlast latex and look better than stain. Bryan and Louis, the painters were professionals and did an excellent job. I will ask Precision Painting Plus to quote my home's interior painting in the near future."

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. 

Yes, staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan, typically by five to 10 years. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and rot over time. Applying a treatment creates a protective shield that helps prevent splintering, fading, and decay, preserving the wood's strength and appearance. A combination stain and sealer often provides the best protection, as it soaks into the wood grain rather than just sitting on top. This offers superior defense against UV damage and rot and lasts longer than a sealer alone. To maintain the wood's natural look, consider using a near-translucent stain. You should plan to reapply the stain or sealer every two to three years.

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.

Avoid using cleaning products that are abrasive or contain bleach or acidic components on composite decking to avoid discoloration. Early-generation Trex decking isn’t designed to handle pressure washer cleaning—and if you use them on second-generation boards, always use a low setting to avoid the risk of damage that can risk voiding your warranty.

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.
