"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."

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint. 

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.

It’s best to use an exterior latex acrylic paint to promote maximum adhesion to composite decking. This flexible paint type can better cope with the natural expansion and contraction that can occur with composite deck boards. Oil-based paints won’t adhere as effectively and are more likely to crack and peel as the boards flex. Testing whether your chosen paint will stick on an inconspicuous section or a spare board is a good idea.

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 have a couple of options when choosing a durable pool deck coating. Epoxy is common and offers excellent stain and water resistance. Epoxy also withstands high temperatures and UV lighting, making it ideal for sunny spots. You can also add a coating to cement, which significantly lowers the temperature of the concrete, is environmentally safe, and makes cleanup a breeze.
