"Fabiano was a pleasure to work with. He was punctual when showing up to provide an estimate and to the project itself. He gave me accurate time lines and updates in real time when fixing my deck. After comparing 4 other contractors to replace my deck, Fabiano gave the best quote with no surprises and the estimate was spot on! I would absolutely recommend Fabiano for your next project"

"Excellent work, professional and very friendly.  I would recommend to anyone looking for power washing services.  I have larger stucco house with large deck and patio.  Steve and Ray did an outstanding job.  They walked the property after they completed service with me to ensure I was satisfied.  I highly recommend this company."

"This is not the first nor will it be the last time we call Bob DiMenna.     He is responsive; meticulous, customer focused at all times -always assuring that the date; time is convenient to begin job.    Our siding especially on second level needed attention.   Bob really did a great job of powerwashing both levels.    Looks like new......will be an annual event.............
Will be calling him for staining deck in the fall."

"We bought our home a year ago, got pregnant, and had our nursery painted professionally in November with low VOC Benjamin Moore paint. Afterwards, the room smelled horrible, nothing got rid of it, even two coats of Kilz. We called JA drywall after deciding this was our only option, and since BM took no responsibility, cost and quality were high priorities. We talked to Juan who explained that he had seen this before, it was nice to confirm we weren't going crazy. His team worked quickly and had the room torn out and new walls and ceiling replaced in the same day. Spackle took a few days due to the humidity, but the room turned out amazing. Thanks Juan, we are so happy with your work. We look forward to working with you again soon.

"As a first-time homeowner, finding the right contractor for a major renovation project was incredibly important to me and my family. We recently purchased a colonial-style home in Abington that needed significant cosmetic updates and repairs before we could move in. Wesley and the team at WNP Painting and Remodeling exceeded every expectation. In just two and a half weeks, they completely transformed our home. Their work included wallpaper removal, painting the entire interior, electrical and plumbing repairs, deck updates, fence installation, door installation, shutters, exterior trim work, luxury vinyl plank flooring, carpet installation, and much more. The quality of the work was outstanding, and the attention to detail was evident throughout the entire project. What impressed me most was Wesley's communication, honesty, and leadership. Since this was my first home renovation, I relied heavily on his expertise. He kept me informed every step of the way, explained issues when"

"I hired Dominic's Painting to paint the entire exterior of my old (1700's) colonial home in the Summer of 2017. This was a very big project and they did such a fantastic job that I hired them once again to paint (and wallpaper) the interior of my house in late 2017. I was totally satisfied with all the work that they did. They were punctual, hardworking and very professional at all times. I had gotten several other job estimates before hiring them and their price was the most reasonable for the work. John is a pleasure to work with and I have no hesitation in recommending this company to anyone who needs either interior or exterior paining done. I particularly recommend them for the difficult job of painting an old home. My home needed a lot of plastering and special care and nothing was a problem for them. They went above and beyond my expectations-always ready to do anything that was needed. Check this company out before you hire anyone else!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

Costs depend on coating type, labor, site preparation, and required finishes.

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.

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.

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths
