"As with my previous contacts with Dan Collins, the work was accomplished with professionalism, reliability, and excellent results.  Since I had been concerned about protecting a new deck from the ravages of the elements, and since I am no longer able to apply water treatments myself every one to two years, Dan had suggested going with Sherwin-Williams solid color stain, for maximum protection.  The trade-off was that solid color stain does not allow the wood grain to show through, and that was a trade-off that I was quite willing to make.
Dan's carpenter, George, measured the porch for the new decking, painted the new tongue and groove wood planks on all sides in the shop for maximum protection (after I had selected a color for the stain) and removed the old porch decking with an assistant, once the new decking was ready for installation.  The new deck was completed in two days, as had been previously estimated, and was ready for a final coat of the solid color stain.  Due to unavoidable circumstances, the painter who had been scheduled to apply the final coat on a Saturday was unable to do so.  Dan apologized and offered to come out on Sunday morning and apply the final coat of paint to the deck himself!  I thanked him for his consideration and accepted his offer.  He arrived ten minutes earlier than he had said he would arrive and completed the job with an attention to detail that I have come to associate with Dan Collins Painting.
I have heard nothing but compliments on the new porch deck from everyone who sees it, and I am completely satisfied with the results of this project with Dan Collins.  I will continue to use Dan for all of my painting needs and look forward to my next interaction with him.  
If you have need of a painter who goes beyond professional standards to provide outstanding service, reliability, integrity, and excellent results, Dan Collins should be the person you call.  You could not possibly do better!

"We chose Steve for the job of cleaning and staining our deck after talking to a few different contractors. Some of the things that we really liked were his knowledge of what he needed to do to get the job done right and to our specifications. We feel Steve really took the time to explained the process of what he was going to do and why. He kept is word with his commitments and was always on time and did an excellent job. Even though we never met in person it was one of the most pleasant contracting experiences we�ve ever had. We will use Steve again."

"I was in a bind after being left high and dry by a local painter. John came out the same day as I called and Eduardo, his brother Angel and their team were there on Monday morning. They were very professional, cleaned up after themselves, were not intrusive and coordinated their work with others that were working in my home. I am over the moon happy with the results! They finished in the timeline they said they would be. Now I wish I wasn't selling my home! Not only is my interior beautiful but my deck looks brand new! You can't go wrong with using CertaPro!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Here's the deal with leaving used rags covered in oil-based stain lying around in a pile: Depending on the conditions, these rags can take just an hour or up to a few days to combust. The source of ignition is caused by trapped heat that can be compounded if the rags are near a heat source.

When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.

Limewash and whitewash are two techniques used to give brick a light, matte finish, but they differ in composition, application, and permanence. The best choice depends on your aesthetic goals and the specific surface.

Composition

  • Limewash: A natural and environmentally friendly option made from limestone, water, and sometimes pigments. It is breathable and soaks into porous surfaces like brick.

  • Whitewash: Traditionally made from lime, water, chalk, and binders, but a similar look can be achieved with watered-down white paint. It is paint-based and sits on top of the surface.

Appearance and Finish

  • Limewash: Provides a natural, textured appearance that allows the brick's character to show through. It offers a more traditional finish.

  • Whitewash: Creates a softer, more opaque finish, often used for a rustic or shabby-chic style.

Application and Permanence

  • Limewash: Is semi-permanent and can be removed, making it a good choice if you might want to change the look in the future. It requires more skill to apply and cannot be used on previously painted brick.

  • Whitewash: Is a more permanent solution. It is more forgiving to apply and can be used on painted brick. However, because it sits on the surface, it can trap moisture.

Ultimately, if you want a breathable, natural, and reversible finish for unpainted brick, limewash is a great option. If you need a more permanent, opaque coating that can be applied over painted surfaces, whitewash is the better choice. Whitewashing may also be more economical, costing approximately $1.40 to $4.20 per square foot.

The best way to protect a deck is to prevent damage from UV light, water, mold, mildew, insects, and abrasive cleaning methods. Sweep regularly to prevent debris that hides bugs and traps moisture that can result in mold or mildew growth. Use a deck cleaner once a year to remove algae, mold, and mildew. Avoid using pressure washers on high, as they can damage the wood. Applying a deck sealant can protect the wood from UV and water damage, and adding shade can also reduce sunlight damage.

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.
