"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."

"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!"

"In December 2018, I hired this company to do an update in my kitchen and a small bedroom. We removed sheetrock and installed new, installed crown molding, changed door frames, installed a backsplash, painted, sanded and stained the bedroom floor. The job turned out excellent. Elmer, the owner, did most of the work himself. He is always open to discussion, and has many good ideas. He aims to please. While he was there, I added a small job in my bathroom - he was happy to do it. Very neat, cleans up each day. Very pleasant to talk with. I have him coming back soon to install a new front door, fix my outside steps, fix cracks in foundation. Elmer can do almost anything. I highly recommend Falcon Construction. I have been very pleased with the results."

"Thank you Concept Painting Inc. for making my house look beautiful again! Peter was very professional, courteous, and reliable and his crew were very polite. I purchased my home a few months ago and the exterior was in bad shape, peeling paint, rotted fascia, damaged columns that were also peeling, it was just a mess. Peter came to give me an estimate and I liked how he presented himself and how knowledgeable he was. He answered all of my questions and fulfilled everything he said he was going to do. I also have to say Melissa, who is the office manager was great too. Very accommodating, polite, and professional as well. I would highly recommend Peter to anyone looking to have any work done, it was truly a pleasure to work with him and I will be calling him again in a few weeks to paint my entire interior as well!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.

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.

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. 

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.

To make sure the paint won’t bubble as you apply it, make sure to paint on a day that’s cooler than 85 degrees Fahrenheit. When the temperature is too high, the paint won’t dry evenly, which can result in bubbles forming on the surface. Another way to prevent paint from bubbling is to clean the walls, apply primer, and let everything dry completely before you begin.
