"We hired Old World Painting primarily for exterior wood staining, but also some interior work. Although the job took longer than expected, the workmanship and attention to detail were outstanding, and it was well worth the wait. The cost was also highly competitive. DJ, Angel, Carl, Josh, and Kareem contributed and were all professional and friendly. We will definitely hire them again."

"We recently had the exterior of our home painted and are thrilled with the end result! As homeowners for over 30 years, the quality, skill and professional manner by which Heiler Painting completed our project was our very best experience compared to many other painting contractors. We were very cautious when searching for the best contractor to paint our home due to the magnitude of the project. We were quickly impressed with Apostoli s character, his integrity, great knowledge, skill-set and his approach to providing us with a long-lasting job to beautify and protect the outside of our home. His consideration and dedication created a wonderful result. Apostoli fulfilled his promises and exceeded them! Led by one of Heiler s foremen, Craig, his crew arrived every day at 7am and worked productive and consecutive long days until the project was complete--something very rare with contractors today. We were most impressed with the crew s attention to detail when prepping and painting surfaces, in using the very best and proper products for the various surfaces on our home and cleaning up our property at the end of each day. Our communication with Apostoli, from estimating to the completion of the project, exceeded our expectations! We are very happy with our decision to use Heiler Painting and have also contracted them to paint our home s interior soon. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND HEILER PAINTING TO ANYONE WHO DESIRES BEAUTIFUL + PROFESSIONAL RESULTS AT A FAIR PRICE!! A+++/5 STARS! Our very highest rating!"

"David is great. I'd call him again and recommend him to everyone. The project started and ended on time, even though the humidity was against us. He was on time every day and a pleasure to have in the house. Unfortunately, I talked to him a couple of times (great conversationalist) and even though I slowed him down; he plugged on in a great mode. They say you get what you pay for; I got way more than what I paid for. He wasn't the cheapest, he wasn't the most expensive and gave a veterans discounts. But the job turned out way better, then expected and turned what we had done into part of the show case of our house. He fixed holes, dents and cracks; sealed, put on 2 coats, and just made the paint sparkle (flat finish lol) If you need paint, David is the man to call."

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.

It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the deck refinishing process. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.

Hot, intense sunshine can cause your stain to dry too quickly, which could lead it to look uneven or patchy. If you’re staining the deck during hotter months, it’s best to do it in the morning or evening once the wood has had time to cool down. If you’re staining in cooler weather with less sunshine, the time of day won’t make as much of a difference.

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.
