"Our interaction with the Five Star team was an absolute dream contractor experience. I can not imagine there is a more conscience and professional painting contractor in Findlay. The project scope included painting (family room, kitchen, laundry and hallway) and interior door staining (master bathroom and closet) was executed in a pristine manner, including cleanup upon completion. The team went above and beyond to ensure our complete satisfaction. In addition, all communications were timely and responsive. They live up to their name FIVE STAR Painting. (5 out of 5 rating)."

"They got us in as soon as the weather allowed. Which was very nice because it was a roof leak that needed a coating so there was a temperature requirement. The only negative thing I could say was that they made a bit of a mess on our deck that is below the sunroom roof. So this spring i will have to put more deck coating on our deck in that area this year. They were super friendly and answered any questions we had."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

The best type of paint for concrete exterior surfaces like concrete porches, steps, or walkways is high-quality exterior-grade paint with strong weather resistance. Acrylic latex blends with tiny anti-slip particles will help create an anti-slip coating for your concrete porch. This type of paint will stand up best to the elements, especially rain, snow, and ice. An exterior epoxy will also help strengthen your concrete porch.

Ideally, it's best to stain your dock once per year. Applying stain doesn't just keep it looking nice and new; it also helps extend the dock’s lifespan. Since you want to ensure water levels are at their lowest, it's best to have this project done by a professional dock repair service in the cooler autumn or early winter months. 

The plastic in composite decking boards protects them enough that you do not need to paint them to prevent warping. In fact, painting composite decking voids the warranty of some manufacturers. Painting can also increase maintenance on the deck, as you must paint regularly to keep it looking its best.

The need for a topcoat on a painted deck depends on various factors, primarily the type of paint used and your desired level of protection. Many premium deck paint formulations are self-sealing, eliminating the necessity for an additional topcoat. These paints often have built-in additives that substantially protect against moisture, UV rays, and everyday wear and tear.
