"I was so impressed with Top of the Line Painting. Weather held up the work for over a week but Matt stayed in touch almost every day. His team came at the designated time and finished staining not only a two-tier deck but also painted the front porch in less than a day. They also pressure-washed the house and it looks beautiful. The work they performed was absolutely professional and I am extremely happy with the job they did. I highly recommend this company!"

I just can't say enough praise for Jimmy Zeski's painting crew! They were professional, cared about their quality of work and were respectful and hardworking. They were punctual and extremely courteous the entire 5 days it took to paint everything.

I had a couple of places that the drywall needed repair and I swear if I showed you the area - you would not be able to see where the problem was.

Because of their hard work, my home has never looked better and I couldn't be happier.  I am thrilled with this entire job!

To summarize my experience with Fresh Coat of Charleston, with Jimmy Zeski and his crew, I will never lift another paint brush...I'll just call Jimmy!

"all of the work was done in 2.5 days. very professional crew, equipment and truck. they cleaned up after everyday. they even brought in excess paints and stains from previous jobs to stain my privacy fence and deck, something that I was not charged for. I went with 3 quotes but for the work needed these guys had the best price."

"We had our newly rebuilt deck stained/sealed by RAC. Victor was very easy to work with (including adhering to the CDC directives during our first meeting and throughout without my having to mention them). He was on time, professional, easy to work with, and did a quality job, including pressure washing the back wall of the house so it would look as great as the deck once he was finished! We have some construction needs and once that project is complete will have RAC back to take care of the entire exterior of the house. Can t give a better review than that!!!"

"Kyle did an outstanding job painting the interior trim after we just had our floors redone. He also painted an entire wall for us and did an excellent job on that as well. Would hire again without a doubt and would recommend to anyone. Very detail oriented!"

"Anderson Painting is the best! MIkel and team were conscientious, hard working and paid attention to the little details. Showed up when they said they would and stayed until they got the job done. Will definitely recommend them to all my friends and neighbors and will call them again when it's time to repaint the home. Cannot say enough great things about this company."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

The best time to paint your deck is when temperatures are neither too cold (below 60 degrees) nor too hot (above 85 degrees). Always paint your deck when there’s no risk of rain. For fast-drying paint like acrylic or latex, ensure your deck can dry for at least four hours. Oil-based paints take longer to dry and may require 48 hours to completely cure.

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

Eggshell and satin finishes are best for porches because they sit in the sweet spot between scuffable matte and distracting high gloss. Your porch sees a fair amount of wear and tear, so you don’t want paint that’ll show every mark like matte, but you don’t want to be blinded by glossy paint in the sun either. Eggshell and satin have durability and a look that sits nicely in the middle.

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.
