"John and his team did an amazing job with painting the exterior of our house, the decks, the screened-in porch, and the trim work. He was prompt, neat, had competitive pricing, and even finished a day earlier than expected. Best of all, he left the remaining paint in case we ever need it for touch ups. I highly recommend his services and would do business with him again."

"Had an overall great experience with Sean and Charles at DPO. Job was to demo and replace deck boards and railings from rotted pine to composite and aluminum. Had been through something of a clown-show with a handful of other contractors before I reached out to DPO. The things that should be a given that DPO did well that were or would be lacking lacking with others: Responded promptly to texts/calls. Actually showed up to assess the job within a few days. Provided a timely quote. Provided updates on procurement of materials etc. Showed up as promised to start the job and knocked it out much faster than others claimed it would take. Responded to and rectified a minor issue quickly, within a day or two. Came in at a competitive price. Will be calling these guys again when I need something done and won't hesitate to name-drop to others."

"Neil was presented with a difficult task seeing how our composite deck had already been painted he took the time to figure out how to get paint on the deck so that it would last and did not charge extra for the effort."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

No, it is not okay to paint over rotted wood. Painting over rotted wood will not address the underlying issue and can trap moisture, leading to further decay. Properly addressing the rotted wood by removing and replacing or repairing the damaged areas is necessary before you can even consider painting.

To make sure the paint won’t bubble as you apply it, make sure to paint on a day that’s cooler than 85 degrees Fahrenheit. When the temperature is too high, the paint won’t dry evenly, which can result in bubbles forming on the surface. Another way to prevent paint from bubbling is to clean the walls, apply primer, and let everything dry completely before you begin.

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. 

The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage. 

You’ll need to restrain your deck when you notice fading, cracking, peeling, or mold and mildew over a moderate to large area, or when it’s become especially difficult to clean. As for how often to stain a deck, plan to do it every two to three years or whenever you start to notice extended damage.
