"Sanderson's Painting was first contacted to provide a modest remodel on the master bathroom in my family home. The house had been left in disarray by the previous occupants, and some serious work was going to be required to bring the place back into a livable condition. However, I was hesitant to commit to a big renovation unless I had experienced and affordable help. Yet, after witnessing the unbelievable quality of work performed by Sanderson's Painting and the speed at which the project was completed, I immediately contracted them to work for me on an hourly basis.
For the following two months, Mr. Sanderson, the company's founder and owner, was asked to paint the interior and exterior of my home, lay tile flooring in my kitchen, repair broken woodwork on bannisters and built in bookcases, reseal the home's tar roof, install light fixtures, hang ceiling fans, install kitchen/bathroom faucets, power wash and stain the deck and fencing, landscape the front and back yards, lay gravel for a driveway, and more. He arrived on time every day and performed each and every task I laid at his feet with skilled hands, a quickness in his step, and always with a wink and a smile. In short, Mr. Sanderson single-handedly turned a run down and dilapidated old house into a beautiful, vibrant, and truly spectacular home for my family.
I recommend Sanderson's painting for their hard work, their integrity, their affordability, and they superior quality of work. My family is FOREVER grateful for the efforts of Mr. Sanderson, and though his personal motto is that "a jack of all trades is a master of none", he is truly masterful in everything he does. His honesty, dedication to the job and to his client, and his unfaltering kindness are impossible to find in his competitors. I welcome you to drive past my house any day of the week and take a look. What you will see before you is a miracle of quality and craftsmanship attributable solely to Sanderson's Painting."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

A properly applied coat of stain will last between 3 and 8 years, depending on your climate. If you live in a place where your fence experiences a lot of moisture or high heat, your stain will last for a shorter period than in more temperate conditions. We recommend reapplying stain every 3 to 5 years to keep your wood in good condition.

It’s necessary for paint to completely dry before exposure to rain, and that drying time varies by the type of paint used. Oil-based paint takes 6 to 8 hours to dry on average, meaning that’s the minimum time needed between the last brush stroke and the first raindrop. Latex paint dries faster at around 1 hour, and acrylic paint is even quicker, usually drying in about 30 minutes. If rain is in the forecast, check the paint manufacturer's details before laying on a new coat. 

Staining a deck is typically less expensive upfront than painting. The cost to stain a deck professionally averages around $850, with most homeowners paying between $550 and $1,250, depending on the deck's size. A DIY staining project can cost less than $100. The cost to paint a deck ranges from $500 to $2,000. While the initial cost of staining is lower, it's important to consider long-term expenses. Paint can last up to 10 years, whereas stain needs to be reapplied every few years, which could lead to higher costs over time.

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.

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.
