"The detail to work is very professional. The owner and his crew are very polite as well as professional. They came in, cleaned and caulked everything first. Painted all of my windows, front and back porches, garage entry door and it all looks great. They also sanded to the bare wood my front door before staining and clear coating. They left everything very clean. The prices are very reasonable and the work is top quality. I would definitely recommend."

"Wes and the crew at Straight Edge Painting Pros were outstanding. Wes quickly returned my calls, gave a very reasonable quote, and the crew did an outstanding job repairing damaged wood and staining the house. In addition we had new wood garage doors installed after the house was stained and the Straight Edge team came back right after installation to stain these doors as part of the original estimate. We are very satisfied and would strongly recommend Straight Edge Painting Pros to anyone looking for house painters."

"They repaired a broken piece on the pergola, stained the pergola, gazebo, deck and benches.  A separate team removed the popcorn ceiling in the very large master bedroom and painted the walls and trim.  They were very efficient and did a beautiful job.  They cleaned up after themselves.  I was especially impressed with Albert, the owner.

"Great! I have a mansion on 4 + acres and David painted my outside house deck railings and all of my many feet of property and tennis court aluminum fencing, path lights, house window shutters, umbrella stands, light poles, and my 2 outside front and back doors and their inside and outside door trim of my 25 room house. DavId paints slow and methodical and is a perfectionist and is very neat and cleans up before he leaves every day. He actuality does more than you pay for if he sees a few things needed that you did not ask him to do. His price is fair and reasonable and only suggests the best paint and he let's you pay for the paint with your credit card over the phone while he is picking up the paint at the store as he makes no profit on materials and you only pay for his labor. I am a perfectionist also who was a CEO with integrity of a Fortune 500 company and I would never give this amazing recommendation if it was not 100% true. His company is rightly called "Precision" Painting by David! My only concern by my sterling recommendation is that he will be so extra busy by this coming Spring that he won't have time to fit me in to glaze my 3500 Sq ft pool deck, and the outside of my 6000 sq. ft house, and cabana. But I have to tell the truth about his quality workmanship at a fair price. Steve, Waxhaw, NC"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, it is important to wash your deck before painting to ensure the paint applies well and adheres properly. While you don't have to use a pressure washer, it is one of the most efficient cleaning methods. Pressure washing can quickly remove dirt, wood fibers, and flaked paint, getting deeper into the wood than manual scrubbing. You can also clean the deck with a stiff broom and a cleaning solution. Regardless of the method, a clean surface is essential for good paint adhesion. Make sure the deck is completely dry before applying any paint.

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.

Staining pressure-treated wood is a recommended practice. While inherently resilient, it's not impervious to moisture and UV exposure. Staining treated wood is feasible and recommended for enhanced protection and longevity. Applying stain and sealant safeguards against degradation, prolonging its life span. These measures shield the wood from environmental threats while augmenting its aesthetic appeal, ensuring your investment endures the test of time.

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths
