"We recently hired Dan Muir and his crew from Muir Painting to paint the exterior of our home, and we couldn't be happier with the results. The attention to detail was outstanding. His foreman, Matt, and the rest of the crew did meticulous prep work and painting all the way up to the final clean-up. Dan is professional, easy to communicate with, and clearly takes pride in his work. If you want a high-quality paint job that looks like it will last, look no further!""

"We hired Sunnyside Painting to clean and stain our Deck. They did such an amazing job we hired them to repair and stain another deck that we had at our rental property. They are very focused on quality and provide a very professional service at a VERY competitive price. I plan to hire them for another painting project later this summer. I highly recommend them."

"I hired JJM construction to repair my large deck from a recommendation of a friend of mine who had met him at church. Jared provided me with a bid and recommendations on how he would repair my deck and preserve portions of the existing deck. His bid was very reasonable, and he also included a couple other jobs that I needed to have done at the same time. When Jared and Jeremy came out to do the work, they had the deck repair done within three days. They did an outstanding job. I feel as though I have a brand new deck. The workmanship was very meticulous and they were very thoughtful of my property and left it cleaner than what they started with. I would definitely hire Jared and his company again should I have a need for any other work. I will say that I have been screwed over by other general contractors in the past on work on my house, but this time I think I found the diamond of contractors. Clarification I will be doing the painting and staining myself."

"Samantha was responsive in providing a painting quote. We got several quotes and it was the most thorough and reasonably priced. Some siding needed to be replaced and her carpenter quickly gave a separate quote for repairing this. We were traveling and they were flexible in working around our schedule. Ben the carpenter did a great job replacing dry rotted siding and a fence. There was one issue and he quickly resolved it. The paint crew led by Esteban did a quality job. They were thorough in the cleaning and other preparation. I noticed a missed spot or two, but they got back to these on their own without a mention from me. My wife appreciated the very limited damage to the border plants despite the challenge of working around them. We would definitely recommend this company for similar painting projects."

"Paul of Sunshine Painting did a fantastic job painting our 1909 craftsman home. In addition to his technical expertise in painting older homes, Paul provided valuable consulting on color placement to highlight the character of our older home with a focus on the overall effect/look while limiting unnecessary detail that could significantly increase the cost of the project. We could not be happier with the outcome - our house looks amazing!"

"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 company is certified to deal with lead paint. They did an excellent job. with a 3 color Victorian home in NE. They have a good guarantee and came back and fixed a couple areas the following year. They also do pressure washing and did an excellent job on soft wood(cedar) decking and pavement."

"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."

"Carlos painted my home and shop 3 years ago and did an excellent job. I got a bid for painting my deck railing and staining the deck itself. The bid came quickly and very reasonable. The job was done quickly and just as we had agreed upon. You wonâ t be disappointed."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

Satin paint is generally considered a better choice for woodwork—including trim, baseboards, cabinets, and doors—than flatter finishes like eggshell or matte. Its soft sheen enhances architectural details and stands up well to frequent cleaning and daily wear. Compared to eggshell and matte finishes, satin is more durable for high-touch areas because it is less porous and doesn't absorb dirt as easily. Matte finishes, in particular, are prone to scuffs and are harder to clean, making them less practical for surfaces like doors and cabinets.

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.

Yes, it is generally a very good idea to seal your deck after pressure washing. Power washing removes not only dirt and debris but also a thin layer of wood, leaving the surface exposed and more susceptible to weathering. Sealing is almost always needed after this process. After a general cleaning, sealing isn't automatically necessary if the existing sealant is still intact. You can test the surface by placing a few drops of water on it. If the water beads up, the sealant is working. If it soaks into the wood, it's time to apply a new sealant. If it has been a few years, it's wise to remove the old sealant, wash the deck, and reseal for maximum protection.

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.
