"I hired Grine Busters contractors in Farmingdale to Sheetrock my living room and dining room ceilings and paint them. They were very professional and did a great job. I would hire them again for any future home repairs that we might need again."

"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 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!"

"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."

Deck Staining FAQs, 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.

Satin paint is generally considered a better choice for woodwork—including trim, baseboards, cabinets, and doors—than flatter finishes like eggshell or matte. Its soft sheen enhances architectural details and stands up well to frequent cleaning and daily wear. Compared to eggshell and matte finishes, satin is more durable for high-touch areas because it is less porous and doesn't absorb dirt as easily. Matte finishes, in particular, are prone to scuffs and are harder to clean, making them less practical for surfaces like doors and cabinets.

Painted decks typically require a new coat about once every ten years. In between new coats, it's best to maintain your deck by regularly removing debris, washing it down with non-abrasive cleaners, and staying ahead of structural issues, such as loose boards and rotting wood. In some cases, painting a small section of your deck affected by damage or the sun can lower your costs and workload.

It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the deck refinishing process. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.

The best paint for an older deck depends on the material and whether or not your deck already has a coat of paint. Generally, if your deck already has paint on it, you should choose the same type of paint when repainting the deck. For example, if an old deck has oil-based paint on it, stick with oil; if your deck has water-based paint, choose water-based paint.
