"This company did exterior paint/stain in white on our small deck & very long privacy fence (28 8 ft. sections); both sides. They did power wash it first, then applied 2 coats of exterior paint. We also hired them to paint/stain our rental's decks in back & front; both in black. This very efficient team did an outstanding job. Looks great!!!"

"We have used Buckeye for many years and have been very impressed with their professionalism and the quality of their services. Katie is most helpful in scheduling and Bob Klem is great in examining each project, giving suggestions as to alternatives and providing a written estimate of all costs. Our experience has been that the estimate is always the same as the final invoice. Buckeye will probably not be the least expensive bid you might receive, but if you want the best quality for each dollar you spend, Buckeye will provide that. We accepted a lower bid from another contractor once and were disappointed with the outcome. Buckeye's painters do an excellent job of protecting areas from paint splatters, preparing surfaces and applying the paint or stain. They show up when scheduled and finish up on time. You will be pleased with your decision if you use Buckeye House Painting"

"Prim did an outstanding job on all of our projects - we have found our painters for life! We had a somewhat unique project - I wanted our stair railing and banister gel stained and the stair trim painted white. I'd read about gel stains (thanks Pinterest!) and seen several stair make-overs using them, however out of the five painters I had come to give an estimate, only Prim seemed familiar with gel stain and was of the only companies even willing to give us a quote. A couple of the companies wouldn't even quote it and told me that it couldn't be done. Well, it can be done and Prim did a beautiful job - it turned out exactly as I pictured it. They also made our kitchen walls smoother than they've been in the 10 years we've lived in our house - and we've had the kitchen painted once before. The owner Nate was very responsive, usually emailing back within the hour (and I emailed him a lot) and the prices were very competitive, especially given the quality of work. The crew of three were all very nice and did a great job cleaning up each night - I felt very comfortable leaving them in my house while we weren't home. I'd definitely hire them again and am recommending them to everyone I know who's looking for painters!"

"We could not be more pleased with Jamie Miller's work. His professionalism is top-notch! In addition to the cleaning, sanding, staining, he replaced a rotted deck railing. We appreciated that Jamie took care to protect the dense perennial gardens that are in front of the deck skirting to minimize possible damage. He also did some touch up work on the chimney. We're planning on having him do interior work for us during the winter."

"Sebastian and his crew checked all the boxes and were the best we have experienced in the 44 years we have lived in this house. Very pleasant, professional and responsive. We could not have been more pleased and know they will be the first we will call for further painting needs."

"I still get comments on it! It was a really good experience. They even stained our deck. I would use them again inside or outside. On the price they came down to match another quote and they gave me financing, giving me a year to pay the best price. I've used them more recently to do some interior painting in the bathroom! They were really good."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

When choosing between deck stain or paint, knowing what will last longer is important. Deck paint lasts longer than deck stain. With deck paint, you can get up to 10 years of coverage before you need to reapply. With deck stain, that time is significantly shorter at two to three years. 

You don’t necessarily have to remove all the old paint before repainting your deck, but it’s best to remove as much as possible to ensure a smooth and long-lasting finish. Prioritize scraping off loose, peeling, or flaking paint, and sand down rough areas to create a smooth surface for the new paint to bond with.

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.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.

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.
