"We would highly recommend Mark Powers Painting. They were very easy and flexible to work with. They painted the entire interior of our home - it is octagonal shape with lots of odd angles and built in furnishings. They also refinished and stained all the kitchen cabinets. The work is beautiful. They were efficient and had great communication throughout the project."

"Sunshine Painting was hired to paint our house and re-finish the front door. Paul was a delight to work with. He is incredibly efficient and thorough in his work. His estimate was accurate and his work excellent. Paul finished the job in a week and cleaned up after himself beautifully. I would hire this company again without question. Hands down the best house painting experience we have ever had. It looks beautiful!!"

"They did a great job from start to finish. Proper scraping and prepping was done by one crew. When weather permitted another crew came in and taped, and sealed off different parts of the house as they progressed through the painting. We did the same house color and trim but Elia figured better ways to accent parts of the front of our house which looks great. They restored the front door to make it look new. They do not do carpentry so we had another company replace deck boards before PHP started. Overall we are very pleased with the communication through Elia and effort on PHP to get the job done by a certain deadline which helped us. The price was very reasonable, they work very hard and long hours."
Beautiful final product!

"The entire process with Aguirre painting was amazing. We hired them to paint our mid-century home black (yes black) and coat our deck. Silvia and Luis were a pleasure to work with and the quality of the work was excellent. They were courteous and made every effort to make sure we were happy with the job. Highly recommended!!"

"We really appreciate Ricardo, Jennifer and all of the staff at Rics CV. We hired them to paint both the exterior and interior of our home, and we are thrilled with the finished product. They offered great communication before and during the process. The exterior job ended up being done sooner and quicker than predicted as they had an early opening and offered the spot to us. The interior took a little more work than originally planned and Ricardo was flexible with our requests and the extra cost was more than fair. Great work and a competitive rate, but also very friendly and professional. Thank you all at Rics CV!"

"So happy we chose D&N Colors Painting, LLC when we decided to have our house painted. They pressure washed the house, our ramp, and the carport. We had them stain our ramp, too. Everything is just beautiful. And to top things off the price was very reasonable. We would recommend this company to all our friends and family."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must. 

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.

Whether to paint or stain a deck depends on your personal preference for appearance and budget. Stain provides a natural look with a range of undertones, is typically less expensive, and may only require one coat, but it does not last as long as paint. Paint offers a sleeker finish with a virtually unlimited color palette. Both options will protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear.

You’ll need to wait until the surface is completely dry, which can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours under optimal conditions. The waiting period depends on several factors, including the type of siding and the weather conditions. Trying to paint before the surface is completely dry can trap moisture under the paint, leading to bubbling, blistering, and mold growth.
