"We are extremely happy with the job Francisco did. He is attentive to details like degreasing our kitchen cabinets before painting, using more than the usual plastic and drop cloths to keep our furniture dust free, and we appreciated the good communication and simply just being on time each morning. Hey the guy paints churches including ours! We will hire him again-no doubt."

"We have double ornate wood doors that were really damaged over 25+ years. I was worried that the finish was so worn away that the doors would swell and we would have difficulty using them. I called Boss Citca and received a prompt reply and estimate. We are completely thrilled with the work that was done! Angel and Marie took off the finish down to the raw wood (a huge job), removed all of the brass hardware, then restained and polyurethaned them. The stain we chose with Angel’s help is beautiful; the match is perfect. The doors now look brand new! I cannot say enough good things about the high level of expertise and the dedicated work effort involved. This was a seamless, successful job! I would like to stress that Boss Circa is such an absolute pleasure to deal with. They are professional and extremely skilled. I looked through some photos of prior work and I will definitely call Boss Circa back for any and all home projects; they do all kinds of construction, kitchen rehabs, etc"

"Eric from WePaint is great. I had pine doors and poplar wood trim that were poorly stained (by myself). Eric came and stripped the doors and poplar, restained all the wood, and put a coat of poly on it all. Very thorough and detaile orientated (like myself) - his hard work removing all the of layers of old stain was great. He salvaged a really poor staining job that I did. Would definitely recommend, friendly and funny guy too. Knows his stuff. Would definitely have Eric do more work. A pleasure."

"I had to do touch up work myself after the project was completed. When the owner reached out to inquire about another project I had mentioned and I told them about the touch up needs, I didn't hear back."

"Karl and his crew are phenomenal. They show up when they say they are going to show up and always finish the job on time. A lot of contractors you feel you need to keep an eye on or keep on track - not Karl and his crew. I can’t say enough about them. I have used them numerous times over the past 4 years for painting and other jobs and not once have I been disappointed, it’s been the exact opposite. His work is second to none. I would be happy to give reference. My cell is 215.913.8615"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, beginners can use a paint sprayer, but there is a learning curve. It's important to go slowly, read the instructions thoroughly, and spend some time learning the technique. Watching tutorial videos for your specific paint sprayer model can be very helpful. Before starting your main project, practice on a scrap surface to get used to the sprayer and avoid common issues like overspraying, which can cause drips, bubbles, and other imperfections. For safety, always wear a mask and gloves, and be careful not to touch the sprayer's tip when it's in use, particularly with high-powered airless sprayers.

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

A wood deck requires annual cleaning and regular inspections for loose or broken boards, nails, and screws. It should be refinished by applying a stain or sealer every two to three years to protect the wood from water damage, rot, mildew, and sun fading. The exact frequency can depend on the climate and the deck's exposure to sun and moisture. If your deck is painted, it will need repainting approximately every 10 years. Signs that your deck needs refinishing include faded, splintering, or warping boards.

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.
