"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!"

"Overall the crew was very skilled at painting. They did the trim around the front door and T111 siding very well, but there was a problem with communication between Nathan, the person who seemed to be in charge, and the painting crew. We, the homeowners, were often put in the position of having to get the crew to do what we wanted and met with some resistance and irritation. Nathan and I had agreed that the new Pella windows and new Pella back door were not to be painted, but the rest of the house was supposed to be. But when we tried to get the crew to paint a side garage door they resisted because it was not specifically on the work order. It should have been because Nathan and I discussed it. Nathan said he would see that it would get done, but it never was. The back basement window also wasn't painted. In addition, there were also numerous scratches put on our gutters by the painters' ladders, but when I asked them to fix them they said they didn't put them there. The power washing could have been done more carefully. The power wash crew showed up over two hours late, but didn't call to say they were still coming. When they arrived they seemed in a rush. Later I had to remove dirt from the deck myself before they stained it. It came off easily. The tops of the gutters were not cleaned during power washing; I was under the impression the tops of the gutters were to be cleaned. Many plants got overspray on them from the power wash and haven't fared too well. Many others were later painted or walked on. On the positive side, when asked they repainted some areas on the stucco. Also, they came back and painted the stucco under the deck, the vents on the side of the house near the roof, the sides of all the trim, caulked a few cracks, and put our lights back up. All of these things were done well. We also asked to have two small holes in the stucco patched. The crew leader said they don't patch stucco, just caulk wood, which is probably accurate. Within minutes of the deck painting being finished it rained. The manufacturer of the paint used says 24 hours of dry weather are needed after painting. We are concerned this may lead to problems, and Prim gives only a 90-day warranty on deck painting. In all, make sure the contract includes all that is agreed upon, especially how plants will be protected, what is to be painted and what isn't, and what is to be repaired. Also, review with the crew what is to be done. For instance they patched a board instead of replacing it as stated on the work order, but later replaced another board to make up for it. **Update On Service** I met with Nation, the owner of Prim Painting on August 2nd, 2016 to review the work that was done. I shared with Nation that I was disappointed that the contract called for Sherwin Williams Super Paint or equivalent, but I was given Sherwin Williams A-100, which is $14.00 less a gallon and does not cover as well or last as long, according to Sherwin Williams. Rather than have the crew come out again, I painted my own side door, washed and painted the gutters, the basement windows and patched a few small holes in the stucco and repainted them. For this, Nathan refunded $300. Be very care to get everything in writing on the contract, so there will be no disagreements later"

"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."

"Greg did a fabulous job. He also painted the interior of our home. The exterior columns needed a tremendous amount of work to get right and he knocked it out of the park. All the wood trim on the house and garage was done fabulously. Great job, well done."

"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

DIY staining or painting is manageable with proper preparation, including safety measures, necessary tools, and adherence to safe weather conditions for application.

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

If you have a smooth, already bonded concrete surface, painting a concrete pool deck can be a great way to brighten up the area and add longevity. If the surface has another covering or a different type of paint has been used previously, you won’t be able to paint it without removing the existing coating. Wooden decks benefit from painting as it helps to keep them watertight. Quality pool deck paints also help make the surface less slippery and less likely to gather mold and mildew or prematurely crack.

Yes, you must thoroughly clean your deck before staining. If you don't, dirt, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped between the wood and the new stain. This not only looks unsightly but also prevents the stain from penetrating the wood properly, reducing its ability to protect the deck from weather and UV rays. As a result, the stain won't last as long or look as good. Any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage. Always wait at least 48 hours after cleaning for the wood to dry completely before applying stain.
