"Derek and team have been to our house twice and soon a third time. Derek came the night we moved in and gave us a quote for some urgent work. The team fit us into the schedule and knocked out one large room and a fire place. The quality of work was AMAZING. They just came back and did our dining room, entry way and three other rooms. Will have them back again in spring to finish the remainder of the house. I highly recommend their services! PS - they also do deck staining and tile. Will be inquiring about that as well."

"They did a great job. When there was a problem with stains seeping through fresh paint, owner Lisa Costas was eager to find a way to solve the problem, and she did. Everything was done to our satisfaction. The painters are the cleanest workmen I’ve ever hired. I will hire them again for any future painting we need done."

From start to finish it went extremely well. Bill Boon the sales person was extremely knowledgeable very friendly and likeable. I actually had a good time with young man. He did things other sales reps. did not do he walked all over my roof looking for bad spots taking pictures going up in my attic looking to see if the decking was bad from underneath. He even came the day of the installation and went up on the roof with the roofers and looked at all the decking after all the old shingles and underlayment was removed.
The crew that did the job arrived early in the morning about 7:20 the supervisor of the crew knocked on my and introduced himself. Sendy was his name. They started in right away unloading all their equipment and worked straight through until the took a lunch break. Then went right back to work until they were done. They were likeable friendly and very professional. They did a great job with everything. Clean up was great it like they were never there. OH YES!!!!!!MY NEW ROOF LOOKS GREAT. LOVE IT.

He is very honest and dependable. The deck looked marvelous. I would recommend John White Painting to anyone who wants the job done right with quality materials and workmanship. The price was also remarkable. He is always available and prompt...No waiting around for weeks...He got the job done almost immediately!!!"
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.
Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface.
You can use latex or acrylic paint outdoors. Although acrylic paint tends to last longer outside, it also costs more, so if you’re painting the outside of your house, for instance, latex paint is often a go-to option. However, acrylic will be your best choice if you want to spend some extra money for added durability.
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.
Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.
