"Jonathan and his team were hired to paint the exterior of our house. They were extremely professionals fast honest precise! they went beyond as they washed all skylights all windows power wash the old exterior that was chipping due to a sloppy previous painter. They also did a remarkable touch up on our huge deck. I hope they can return this season to do our interior painting ."

"When Phil first came for estimates I was impressed how professional he was he explained everything I hired him on the spot. His contract came that day and work started Monday. They took all cabinets doors to shop to spray them. My cabinet were from 1997 so imagine how dirty and worn they were just putting primer coat on everything changed the entire look of my kitchen today he finished and it has made such a difference it’s like an entire new room. I am so very pleased with the work and the price was also great Thank you Phil. Don’t forget to give me a price on my deck for staining. I give mega painting a very good review and am glad he reached out to me. Excellent workers and honest people. Would recommend 100%"

"Moises and Edward and the crew did a repair of my facia. They told me to get PVC so it would last longer. They also repaired cracked walls and ceiling and painted. They did perfect work. Did so good I kept finding more work for them because it looked so good. They are so polite and respectful and right on time. Also they are very fair with their prices and don't push for or more work. I now consider them friends. Don't waste you're time because you won't beat their prices. They can do anything too. Bathroom, kitchen, floors. I will hire them again they are the best."

"Spiro and his team were very professional, courteous and responsive during the staining of my home. We were changing the color (significantly) of our home and this was a difficult process for us but in the end we were very satisfied with Spiro's recommendations and especially the overall price and quality of the work. I would recommend SRP to anyone!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

For homes in areas with extreme weather, high heat, or intense sun exposure, high-quality acrylic paint is the best option. Acrylic paint is durable, resistant to both heat and cold, and provides a protective barrier with excellent UV resistance. For best results, look for acrylics that contain natural earth pigments, which are better suited for resisting sun damage. While oil-based paint is also durable, it can be prone to fading in high heat and can become too viscous to apply easily in cold temperatures. Additionally, choosing a neutral or light color like gray, beige, or white can help, as these colors absorb less heat than darker shades.

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.

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.
