Customers say: Quality work

"Hatton Painting recently completed painting the exterior of our home. Our house has wood siding on the entire second level so there was a lot of square footage to paint. We were very pleased with the results. All the lines were clean and everything looks even all the way around the home. I would recommend them and would hire again."

"DWT did a very good job. They even power washed my wood deck and walkway. Strong work ethic. I would have rated their work with 5 stars, but 1). They didn't cover my newly installed landscape to protect it, so old paint scraps are all in it. 2). They didn't lay out tarp to protect my grass before they painted my gutters. Now I have gutter shaped paint stains on my lawn. 3). No clean up after the job. Scraps of old paint all over. I would hire DWT again."

"CertaPro Painters provided their A+ team of Mario and his crew to paint the outside of our house. In two days, they meticulously painted our shakes, trim, gutters, downspouts, front and rear-porch metal railings as well as our deck. After they were done, I walked around the house with Mario to make sure everything was fine including no paint splatters. Everything looked great. They did an outstanding job and I certainly would hire them again to paint our house. CertaPro provided all of the paint for the job."

"Garringer Painting recently stained my fence, and they did an outstanding job. The crew was prompt, professional, and paid close attention to detail. The stain was applied beautifully and really brought new life to the fence. They took great care with the prep and cleanup, and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. 10 out of 10 — highly recommend! I’ll definitely be using them again for future projects."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Liquid rubber is great for waterproofing, but it can damage your deck if it’s not applied correctly. First, it can trap moisture in the wood if the deck isn’t completely dry before application.  Second, applying it too thickly can create a heavy, rubbery surface layer that peels and cracks under fluctuating temperatures. For the best results, ensure the wood is completely dry before application, and apply the liquid rubber in thin, even coats. A quick inspection every now and then will help you catch any issues early, keeping your deck protected and looking its best.

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.

Opt for an interior wood stain that is rated for your type of wood. Consider your personal style preferences as well as the overall use of the room when choosing a color. Remember, the color you see at the store may look different on your actual floors once applied. This is why if you have the chance, it’s helpful to test a few options on a scrap piece of wood in the room first. Once you narrow it down, you can test a small patch on an inconspicuous area in the room to see it on the actual floors.

If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood’s grain for best results.

Whether you can paint over your existing paint depends on what’s on there. Most of the time, you’ll want to sand down or scrape off the paint that’s currently coating your surface. Epoxy paint, for example, won’t let new paint stick to the surface. Latex paint is more forgiving and will accept a new coat, but a primer is recommended if you’re switching colors.
