"The handy men were really nice and respectful. They did 2 jobs for me which includes a tv set with a fire place and a bead board for my California king size bed. The job was done in 3hrs and the work was done sufficiently. They cleaned up after themselves. They made sure I was comfortable and that I was happy with there work. I will definitely be contacting them for all my future handy work."

"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!"

"Ian came to give a quote and he offered several creative ideas for the area, which I appreciated, I wouldnâ t have thought of them!! He is very knowledgeable and honest. Upon discussing how much brick is required, I learned other companies were taking advantage of me. Ian called when he had a cancellation and fit me in. Ian and Steven worked very diligently each day, so meticulous in their work. It looks amazing, I am so pleased. They will be back for other work I need!!"

"The entire team was so professional, efficient, and super responsive to every need we had. They prioritized my needs and completely sanded, patched, and repainted my deck in two days and it looks fantastic. It’s evident they can do much more complicated work and I’ll be hiring them again. Could not recommend more."

"Joshua, the Project Manager in Dallas suggested Romabio for my brick exterior; I was not aware of this product, but after researching it, I decided on it rather than staining or latex painting. No other painting company I got a quote from even mentioned Romabio. I am very pleased with the result, knowing that it will outlast latex and look better than stain. Bryan and Louis, the painters were professionals and did an excellent job. I will ask Precision Painting Plus to quote my home's interior painting in the near future."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

If you don’t treat a cedar fence, it will turn from reddish brown to gray over time. You can keep the cedar from graying and retain its attractive, deep red color by sealing your cedar fence with a stain that keeps the wood’s oils in and serves as a barrier against the sun’s UV rays.

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

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. 

Hot, intense sunshine can cause your stain to dry too quickly, which could lead it to look uneven or patchy. If you’re staining the deck during hotter months, it’s best to do it in the morning or evening once the wood has had time to cool down. If you’re staining in cooler weather with less sunshine, the time of day won’t make as much of a difference.

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