"Wilbers Painting company did an excellent job painting my gutters/downspouts and trim around my front door. I also had my front door stained which did not come out to my satisfaction the first time and I showed Wilber a picture of the door and he came back and re-sanded the door and re-stained it. It is beautiful now. Wilber stands behind his work. I would definitely hire his company again for future painting projects. Wilber and his staff were very professional and courteous. M. CASEY"

"lou was on time, neat, did a fine job power washing, sanding and staining our old deck. He replaced a rotted potion of decking at no extra cost as well as other extras at no cost or minimum and extremely fair prices. I highly recommend LB Maintenance."

"Very happy with Frank’s painting. We had the cedar shingles on our house power washed and the crew showed up on time, they were extremely careful of our property and surrounding areas, and cleaned up all debris after they were finished. They even cleaned our walkway pavers with the time they had left. Excellent value for a lot of work. I would definitely recommend them and look forward no to using them for other projects in the future."

"Melvin and his team did an outstanding job softwashing the house, windows, deck and fence. They were careful not to damage the flower beds. They were meticulous in making sure everything was cleaned. They even washed the furniture on the deck when requested. The value for what I was charged was excellent. This is the second year in a row that I have used them and intend on using them going forward. I would highly recommend them."

"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 his crew repaired water rotted wood in difficult locations and completely finished the garage to every detail from insulation to molding, as shown in pictures here. They thought of every detail that shows their pride over their work. Not only is their work top notch, but they are also easy to work with and very communicative through the whole process. I have already hired them for a second job."

"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!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

It’s best to use an exterior latex acrylic paint to promote maximum adhesion to composite decking. This flexible paint type can better cope with the natural expansion and contraction that can occur with composite deck boards. Oil-based paints won’t adhere as effectively and are more likely to crack and peel as the boards flex. Testing whether your chosen paint will stick on an inconspicuous section or a spare board is a good idea.

It is not always necessary to remove old stain before restaining a deck. If the previous stain is in good condition and is compatible with the new stain, you may be able to apply a new coat after thorough cleaning. However, if the old stain is in bad condition, flaking, or peeling, it is best to remove it completely to ensure an even surface and proper adhesion for the new coat. Staining over a damaged layer can lead to an uneven finish and poor penetration. For best results, test a small area first and consult the stain manufacturer's guidelines.

Eggshell and satin finishes are best for porches because they sit in the sweet spot between scuffable matte and distracting high gloss. Your porch sees a fair amount of wear and tear, so you don’t want paint that’ll show every mark like matte, but you don’t want to be blinded by glossy paint in the sun either. Eggshell and satin have durability and a look that sits nicely in the middle.

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