"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

A five-gallon bucket of deck stain will cover roughly 875 square feet in a single coat. Actual coverage will vary based on the type of wood you’re staining and the number of coats. If you plan on doing multiple coats, multiply the square footage by the number of coats to calculate how many buckets of stain you’ll need.

You’ll need to wait until the surface is completely dry, which can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours under optimal conditions. The waiting period depends on several factors, including the type of siding and the weather conditions. Trying to paint before the surface is completely dry can trap moisture under the paint, leading to bubbling, blistering, and mold growth.

Deciding whether to stain or paint a pool deck depends on your budget, desired look, and the deck's material. Both options can work. Paint offers a wider variety of color options, provides excellent water resistance, and can last longer. However, it requires a primer and can eventually fade or peel. Stain is often cheaper, easier to apply, and penetrates the wood for a more natural look and longer-lasting finish. It also has great water resistance. The downsides are fewer color options and the need for a sealant. The choice can also depend on the deck material; for example, staining may be a better option for concrete as it bonds well and lasts longer than paint.

Two coats of stain are ideal for the best protection and aesthetic appeal. However, if your decking is made of particularly dense hardwood, you may only need one coat. If you want an intense color, two coats are ideal.

Deck staining or painting safeguards wood against the elements through its protective layer, enhancing decay resistance, prolonging structural integrity, and improving visual appeal.
