"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!!!"

"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 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"

"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

Adding a second coat of stain to wood can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.

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.

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.
