"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"

"The project manager and paint crew did a great job in our project. We had our home and detached shop/garage painted and our deck stained and it took them three days to complete the job. Once our new roof is installed we will have this company come and touch up needed areas."

"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."

"This company is truly spectacular! I needed the boards on my large deck replaced. Chris is very professional and personable and easy to work with. His quote after viewing the area was very timely presented and affordable. His crew works meticulously, very efficiently and leaves no detail behind. I would recommend this company highly. If I could leave 10 stars I would! Thank you. Christine."

"Excellent company!!! Family oriented and meticulous craftsmanship to detail. Started the job and finished it within one week. Totally tore out old deck and sub framing. Installed brand new deck and railings exactly the way we wanted it. If you don’t use these people, you’re crazy. Don’t take a chance get it done the right way first time. My name is Steve Low, photos will fall after I make sure that everything looks nice with my furniture."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

It’s best to use an exterior latex acrylic paint to promote maximum adhesion to composite decking. This flexible paint type can better cope with the natural expansion and contraction that can occur with composite deck boards. Oil-based paints won’t adhere as effectively and are more likely to crack and peel as the boards flex. Testing whether your chosen paint will stick on an inconspicuous section or a spare board is a good idea.

A five-gallon bucket of deck stain will cover roughly 875 square feet in a single coat. Actual coverage will vary based on the type of wood you’re staining and the number of coats. If you plan on doing multiple coats, multiply the square footage by the number of coats to calculate how many buckets of stain you’ll need.
