"It was awesome! Juan was so nice and personable. I met him as he was staining my neighbors deck and asked if he would do mine. He came over, I picked a color and he came the next day and completed the job. It looks great! Totally satisfied. He does lots of other work and I’ll be hiring him again for sure."

"Did a great job. The painters were very professional and kept the property clean during painting. Re-stained my front door and painted shutters and other outdoor areas. Really freshened up my property at a pretty good price. Would recommend!"

"I was completely blown away by Joshua and his crew. They are great people that do amazing work. The paint Joshua recommended came within my budget and exceeds all our expectations. Looks like a flat but is cleanable. They not only painted the walls which is what the job was scoped to do. They put fresh lines on the ceilings and cleaned up my trim. This makes the paint on the walls pop even more. In the bedroom they made a recomendation to change how the celing was painted, to make the indent feature stand out. This was not in the scope but they did it anyway, and it looks amazing. They painted the entire second story (4 bedrooms 2 baths and a laundry room) in 2 days. Great People, Great Price, Great work what more you could you be looking for. I not only recomend them I am bringing them back in the fall to do the first floor."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.

DIY staining or painting is manageable with proper preparation, including safety measures, necessary tools, and adherence to safe weather conditions for application.

It’s necessary for paint to completely dry before exposure to rain, and that drying time varies by the type of paint used. Oil-based paint takes 6 to 8 hours to dry on average, meaning that’s the minimum time needed between the last brush stroke and the first raindrop. Latex paint dries faster at around 1 hour, and acrylic paint is even quicker, usually drying in about 30 minutes. If rain is in the forecast, check the paint manufacturer's details before laying on a new coat. 

It’s best to use an exterior latex acrylic paint to promote maximum adhesion to composite decking. This flexible paint type can better cope with the natural expansion and contraction that can occur with composite deck boards. Oil-based paints won’t adhere as effectively and are more likely to crack and peel as the boards flex. Testing whether your chosen paint will stick on an inconspicuous section or a spare board is a good idea.

Yes, pressure-treated wood can occasionally turn green due to certain preservatives, such as copper-based chemicals, used during the treatment process. These chemicals react with the wood, creating a greenish tint. The good news? It's temporary, and the color will fade over time. Staining or painting can also help hide any unwanted hues.
