Customers say: Quality work

"We had a very pleasant experience with Kevin & Ric from Herington Painting. They were prompt, courteous, and in constant communication with me during the entire time they were on the job. They did a great job staining the exterior of our house and took special care to cover our deck, awning and landscaping to protect them from any paint drips. We are very happy with the quality of their work and would recommend them to anyone in need of painting services."

"The Cleanup did a very job of doing the things we asked them to do. They have been very useful. They seem to be friendly and talked in a pleasant manner along with doing the job they were asked to do. My only thought it that they should ask the customer about what kind of paint he/she would like used. I thought since the paint was to go on our stairs, he would automatically add sand to the paint. After telling them, he added some and it has worked out very well. We don't worry about falling as much now. We will use them again for other home service tasks. Ardeth H."

"Mike scraped, cleaned and painted our deck last July on one of the hottest days of the year. He showed up on time and worked throughout the day. When he ran out of paint (our fault, not his) he gladly went for more. He removed all furniture and then put back in place. The paint job itself was beautiful and I would definitely use again and recommend to anyone in need of his service."

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.

If your biggest concern is making sure your deck doesn’t show dirt, opt for a darker neutral color that blends in well with your surrounding landscape. A rich brown or dark grey are both good options that work with a variety of house colors. A high-quality acrylic paint is easy to clean and maintain, so it might be worth spending the money on.

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.

You’ll want to avoid excessively hot or humid conditions, so it’s best to apply your stain in late spring to early fall. It's also important to watch the weather forecast and aim for days when there isn’t rain expected for at least three days. For new decks, allow the wood to season beforehand for at least four to eight weeks.

Always wait until the morning dew has dried before you stain your deck. The stain needs a fully dry surface to sink into.
