"Being a single female homeowner, I am always very careful when choosing home improvement contractors. I must say I was extremely happy that I chose Gray Painting. The work was flawless!  And it was refreshing to work with a company that made the disruption of a home improvement job as easy on the homeowner as possible. On the day of the estimate, Jason Gray gave me a detailed proposal, including copies of his workers comp and liability insurance certificates and a list of his business principles. He lived up to every one of them! His crew was experienced, very courteous, always arrived on time, took good care of my property, and cleaned up at the end of each day. The wall prep was very thorough and took care of all the cracks and imperfections on the walls. I have a high, vaulted LR/DR ceiling and lots of windows, and they paid close attention to details and cut-ins so that all the edge work was straight and clean. After the first coat of paint was applied, I was not completely happy with the shade I had selected. Jason encouraged me to switch to a slightly different shade for the second coat (I had to pay for the additional paint, but not additional labor). I was extremely pleased with the final result. Gray Painting is very easy to work with and they do outstanding work!

"Crew painted entire interior of the home, installed new flooring on 1st floor as well as repaired some decking, painted kitchen cabinets and renovated first floor 1/2 bath to get a home ready for market. It ended up selling for over asking in the first day."

"Amazing communication, pricing was very fair, and even though the job cost a little more than expected. Chad never did ask for any more money upfront to finish the job. Chad and company went far and beyond, and expectations, we are definitely going to hire him for all of our paint job needs."

"Hatton Painting recently completed painting the exterior of our home. Our house has wood siding on the entire second level so there was a lot of square footage to paint. We were very pleased with the results. All the lines were clean and everything looks even all the way around the home. I would recommend them and would hire again."

"Blue Chip Painting did an awesome job on our exterior painting for the trim and gutters. Also power washed and stained our deck and fence. The excessive heat caused some minor issues on the decking and Ralph sent his team over immediately to fix the areas. Ralph is so professional and courteous."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

The best way to protect a deck is to prevent damage from UV light, water, mold, mildew, insects, and abrasive cleaning methods. Sweep regularly to prevent debris that hides bugs and traps moisture that can result in mold or mildew growth. Use a deck cleaner once a year to remove algae, mold, and mildew. Avoid using pressure washers on high, as they can damage the wood. Applying a deck sealant can protect the wood from UV and water damage, and adding shade can also reduce sunlight damage.

Always wait until the morning dew has dried before you stain your deck. The stain needs a fully dry surface to sink into.

Whether you can paint over your existing paint depends on what’s on there. Most of the time, you’ll want to sand down or scrape off the paint that’s currently coating your surface. Epoxy paint, for example, won’t let new paint stick to the surface. Latex paint is more forgiving and will accept a new coat, but a primer is recommended if you’re switching colors.

A properly applied coat of stain will last between 3 and 8 years, depending on your climate. If you live in a place where your fence experiences a lot of moisture or high heat, your stain will last for a shorter period than in more temperate conditions. We recommend reapplying stain every 3 to 5 years to keep your wood in good condition.

Yes, staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan, typically by five to 10 years. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and rot over time. Applying a treatment creates a protective shield that helps prevent splintering, fading, and decay, preserving the wood's strength and appearance. A combination stain and sealer often provides the best protection, as it soaks into the wood grain rather than just sitting on top. This offers superior defense against UV damage and rot and lasts longer than a sealer alone. To maintain the wood's natural look, consider using a near-translucent stain. You should plan to reapply the stain or sealer every two to three years.
