"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

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.

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.

You don't need to seal your deck after painting it because most exterior paints are waterproof and weather-resistant. While stealing is not necessary, it can add an additional layer of protection.

Eggshell and satin finishes are best for porches because they sit in the sweet spot between scuffable matte and distracting high gloss. Your porch sees a fair amount of wear and tear, so you don’t want paint that’ll show every mark like matte, but you don’t want to be blinded by glossy paint in the sun either. Eggshell and satin have durability and a look that sits nicely in the middle.

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.
