Customers say: True professional

"John was hired to paint, floor to ceiling, a one bedroom condo we are selling. He stated he would be at the condo every day (all day) until the job was done (not working on multiple jobs at a time). Not only was he on-time every day, he completed the job two days earlier than he quoted. We were very pleased with the quality of his work, his responsiveness and professionalism. I would highly recommend giving Precision Paint Pros a call for any painting needs!."

"My husband and I are new to the area and are so happy to have found Indigo Painters. Chris is so nice and provides amazing customer service. His crew painted the interior of our 1800s Charleston Single and the house looks amazing. Even though we had not moved to the area yet, Chris made sure to keep us updated every step of the way with messages, photos and videos of the project. We look forward to work on more projects with Chris. Highly recommended."

"Faustino gave a very reasonable quote and then stayed in touch while I got two more quotes. He arrived on time on the designated date and his team carefully covered ALL surfaces while he prepared walls for paint. Ceiling, walls and trim were all done beautifully. Clean up was pristine. He finished on time. I can’t praise the work enough. Would definitely hire him again."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

The best way to protect a deck is to prevent damage from UV light, water, mold, mildew, insects, and abrasive cleaning methods. Sweep regularly to prevent debris that hides bugs and traps moisture that can result in mold or mildew growth. Use a deck cleaner once a year to remove algae, mold, and mildew. Avoid using pressure washers on high, as they can damage the wood. Applying a deck sealant can protect the wood from UV and water damage, and adding shade can also reduce sunlight damage.

By applying protective finishes and using durable materials that withstand weather and time.

Hangers are one way of attaching stair stringers to a deck. These metal hangers are usually adjustable, allowing you to find the ideal angle for a secure installation. They’re the best choice for installing longer staircases, such as one on a two-story deck, to reduce the load on the deck frame while keeping the stairs stable.

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.
