"My experience with Universe Painting and Juan has been amazing! They were always on time and their work is beautiful! They are extremely clean and after each day of work leave the house very clean! They are highly professional. We not only hired them to paint the interior of our entire house, they also repaired water damage to ceilings and popcorn ceilings and completely power washed the exterior of our home!"

"There were two painters and a worker that did the necessary sweeping, picking up of debris, etc., so that the painters could keep doing the painting. We have a storage loft in the garage that needed to be emptied which was not an easy task as the loft did not allow the men to stand up. One painter had to bend over to push the storage containers to the edge of the loft so that the other could bring them down the ladder. No items were broken including my antique collection of Christmas tree ornaments! They patiently put all the items back in specific areas as I requested. They also needed to remove some shelving to paint the walls and then replace the shelving. The were extremely neat professionals and so very careful of our rugs and furniture for the staining and painting they needed to do in the townhouse. There was a daily visit by the on-site manager who was efficient and pleasant to work with. The owner, Paul develops a full contract so that there a clear agreement as to the work to be done. All details are included. This is a very professional company. As well, they were pleasant and good-natured individuals for the three work days they were here."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.

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.

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

Costs depend on coating type, labor, site preparation, and required finishes.

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.
