"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!!!"

"Dion did a FABULOUS job!! We had green algae everywhere. Not any more! He spent hours washing every single inch of this house and it looks wonderful. I highly recommend this company. I had hired them in the past to work on the deck. They're reliable, responsible and do a really great job!"

"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."

"Excellent! The painters were on time every day and moved all furniture/items off deck, power wash, scape and sand all rough wood areas also did extra repairs like fixing my gutters so water wouldn’t leak on the deck and repairs on deck stairs / trim, I wasn’t expecting that extra work they did, top of the line products were use on my two tone deck and it looks beautiful There professionalism and quality of work has far exceeded my expectations and I have and will continue to recommend you to my friends. Thank you Paint and Rollers!"

"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."

"Greg completed several exterior paint and staining projects at my home, including staining my back porch, painting my foundation wall, and repainting my son’s weathered playset. His work greatly improved my home’s curb appeal. Your paint/stain projects are in good hands with Heban painting!"

"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."

"We couldn’t be any more happy with our completed projects by ODP than we are! Adam is reliable, conscientious, trustworthy and above all committed to delivering the highest quality finished work. Our first project with ODP involved staining out the staircase from our great room down to our lower level. Tying our floor to the treads, bannister, etc. was no easy task. Adam provided valuable design feedback, and in the end - made the staircase a focal point for our entire first floor. From there, we had ODP paint the exposed rough ceiling in our new workout room. To be honest, we were a little nervous about that project, but it came out great - giving the room a cool industrial look. Lastly, we had ODP paint our entire walkout level. Their attention to detail was incredible, and Adam provided honest input - letting us know that we could get by with touching up our doors and trim, rather than repainting them completely - which helped us save a little and come in under budget. We’re already considering our next project with ODP, painting our exterior trim. We feel very fortunate to have found a painting company we can rely on for all of our future projects."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, it is important to wash your deck before painting to ensure the paint applies well and adheres properly. While you don't have to use a pressure washer, it is one of the most efficient cleaning methods. Pressure washing can quickly remove dirt, wood fibers, and flaked paint, getting deeper into the wood than manual scrubbing. You can also clean the deck with a stiff broom and a cleaning solution. Regardless of the method, a clean surface is essential for good paint adhesion. Make sure the deck is completely dry before applying any paint.

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.

While the answer varies based on weather, 10 a.m. is a good time to start painting. The dew will have dried, meaning there’s no moisture on the house, and the temperature will likely be moderate and the sunlight less direct. Starting mid-morning should also give you enough daylight and pleasant weather to work on the job for several hours.

It's okay to walk on a newly painted deck after about four to six hours as long as the weather has been dry. Be sure to wait at least 24 hours before you place any outdoor furniture or grills on a freshly painted deck, though.

The best time to paint your deck is when temperatures are neither too cold (below 60 degrees) nor too hot (above 85 degrees). Always paint your deck when there’s no risk of rain. For fast-drying paint like acrylic or latex, ensure your deck can dry for at least four hours. Oil-based paints take longer to dry and may require 48 hours to completely cure.
