"A very professional, reliable and reasonably priced company. They truly went above and beyond to provide outstanding service. I am very pleased with the job they did restoring and staining my deck. They returned for a final inspection and put the deck furniture back. I highly recommend this company. Thank you again Campbell Painting!"

"All aspects of the work were done professionally. We had our deck/ramp power washed and stained with a solid color stain. We were kept well informed regarding timing and received a lot of assistance in choosing a method for staining. The work was done professionally, promptly, and to our specifications. All employees from the owner to the painters themselves were pleasant, polite, and very professional. The ramp looks beautiful. They provide a warranty and even a free "touch up" service. Work was done quickly and quietly and clean-up was thorough."

"We live in a cedar sided, large 3 story home. From my research for this kind of siding we needed to use an acrylic solid color stain and it should be hand-brushed, not sprayed. However, spraying the cedar siding was the mode of operandi of most of the painting companies I interviewed. Michael Stahl of MDS Painting is not like the other painters we had estimates from. We were lucky to find him because his practices fit all our requirements. He hand brushes. He recommended the solid color stain and he was going to try to paint it this summer if our weather permitted. Other requirements that I was hoping for but couldn't attest to until the job was done was honesty, reliability and cleanup when the job was completed. The completed job is beautiful. He did a great job. I highly recommend MDS Painting. Michael uses top of the line paint/stain, he's reliable, conscientious, skilled, careful, neat and an all around nice guy. His payment method is fair and there were no additional costs. He sticks with his estimate. Generally, you get what you pay for. We got what we paid for and more. We've already lined him up to do an interior job for us and will gladly pass his name on to anyone that needs painting done."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.

Staining a deck is typically less expensive upfront than painting. The cost to stain a deck professionally averages around $850, with most homeowners paying between $550 and $1,250, depending on the deck's size. A DIY staining project can cost less than $100. The cost to paint a deck ranges from $500 to $2,000. While the initial cost of staining is lower, it's important to consider long-term expenses. Paint can last up to 10 years, whereas stain needs to be reapplied every few years, which could lead to higher costs over time.

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

You can paint over old paint on a concrete porch. For the best results, you should first clean the surface and remove as much paint as you can. A power washer is helpful here, but you’ll also want to scrape as much of the old paint away as possible. Then you should prime the porch before repainting it.

It’s necessary for paint to completely dry before exposure to rain, and that drying time varies by the type of paint used. Oil-based paint takes 6 to 8 hours to dry on average, meaning that’s the minimum time needed between the last brush stroke and the first raindrop. Latex paint dries faster at around 1 hour, and acrylic paint is even quicker, usually drying in about 30 minutes. If rain is in the forecast, check the paint manufacturer's details before laying on a new coat.
