"Deck Renewal Systems delivered a beautiful, quality deck for our home! We are pleased with the outcome. The team was responsive, helped us to select a great material, was able to leverage existing framing (saved us money) and ensured the new deck was reinforced with updated support posts. They even flexed to accommodate our last minute decision to add a patio with another vendor so that the deck and patio worked together. The team was hard working and a pleasure to work with. Definitely recommend if you're looking to add a beautiful deck to your home!"

"Brad of Neumeier Associates responded quickly to do the job. He came to my home the same day to provide a quote to paint my garage door, the wood above the garage door and two porch columns 8 feet high. His pricing was reasonable. This was a small paint job of about 220 sq ft. Brad kept me informed of when he would arrive at my home and about project status via text messages. He communicates well and responded quickly to my texts to him. He always showed up on time. The quality of his work is excellent. I would highly recommend this company."

"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."

Customers say: Super punctual

"Very happy with the work done. The two painters were very friendly and professional. They did a great job cleaning up afterwards -- as if they were never here. The amount of stain I was told to buy, however, was excessive. I have almost half of the stain left. But at least I can use it the next time I have to stain. I was told it's hard to estimate how much stain to buy for cedar. If the cedar is dry it can absorb a lot of stain."

"DWT paint was quick in their responses, and they were able to work with my initial limited budget and had proposed a quite quick turnaround time. Unfortunately, I did not get to use them for my house project due to the Coronavirus and time was of essence. I'd give them another chance to show off their work if I have another project coming up."

"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."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint. 

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

Always wait until the morning dew has dried before you stain your deck. The stain needs a fully dry surface to sink into.

Exterior paints contain more volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, making them dangerous when used indoors. Without the free ventilation of the great outdoors, it can take longer for the fumes to dissipate than interior paint. While you may notice the smell lessening more quickly, you should be wary of paint fumes inside for 48 to 72 hours after it dries.
