"Excellent. We were very impressed that Matt & his team came out one day, pressured washed the house and then returned the next day to paint the house-twice. They masked the windows (now we know what it feels like being on the inside of a fish tank) and cleaned up after. Matt was very knowledgeable about cedar sided homes and painting with a solid wood stain. Would I hire him again-yes."

"Juan and his team always exceed our expectations. We've used him multiple times for our own home and rentals that we have renovated. He is fair, very punctual and ensures you are happy with the results. When something happened to the stain I reached out and he quickly came by and made the floors beautiful again. Highly recommend this professional."

"I would highly recommend this business.  We had them come and restain the deck and at first just powerwash the house.  They scheduled the work right away.  After doing the pressure washing, there were some areas with paint chips under the soffit.  Mike offered to repaint those for free.  During this, they noticed areas of the soffit that were rotten, so we had them repair those areas of the wood.  They also fixed a few screens that were damaged during the pressure washing for free.  
Everything turned out great, and we are very happy we had this work done.  Mike and Crystal are very professional and easy to work with.  I will be having them do some more work on our house in the near future.

"Scott Bowles and his crew did a magnificent job in painting the exterior of my house. I was at first put off by his seemingly high cost estimate but after comparing other estimates from Angie's List of reputable painters, it was in line with the others. In fact, after considering all the additional work such as pressure washing the whole outside of my brick house, caulking the windows, and repairing woodwork, even those damaged by squirrels, I found it to be an exceptional value. Of primary importance to me, or to any customer, is his responsiveness to my directions. A problem occurred in that the window shutters' paint color mixed by his paint seller did not match the printed paint chip from the manufacturer. This showed too much red under sunlight that grates on the eyes, which is reality. However, Scott promised to repaint the shutters with a different color of my choice at no additional cost. Overall, Bowles Painting did a thorough, professional painting job such that I am now proud to show off my classic Southern Colonial home!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can waterproof any wood that has not already been treated. A good way to test this is to splash some water on it. If the water starts to bead up, the wood is treated and most likely doesn’t need another coating.

You don’t necessarily have to remove all the old paint before repainting your deck, but it’s best to remove as much as possible to ensure a smooth and long-lasting finish. Prioritize scraping off loose, peeling, or flaking paint, and sand down rough areas to create a smooth surface for the new paint to bond with.

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

Yes, you must thoroughly clean your deck before staining. If you don't, dirt, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped between the wood and the new stain. This not only looks unsightly but also prevents the stain from penetrating the wood properly, reducing its ability to protect the deck from weather and UV rays. As a result, the stain won't last as long or look as good. Any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage. Always wait at least 48 hours after cleaning for the wood to dry completely before applying stain.

Opt for an interior wood stain that is rated for your type of wood. Consider your personal style preferences as well as the overall use of the room when choosing a color. Remember, the color you see at the store may look different on your actual floors once applied. This is why if you have the chance, it’s helpful to test a few options on a scrap piece of wood in the room first. Once you narrow it down, you can test a small patch on an inconspicuous area in the room to see it on the actual floors.
