"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.

"Tony and Brandon were awesome to work with. These guys came by as scheduled and gave me an estimate for the work requested. We scheduled a date for the job. These guys were on time and worked hard to complete the job on time. They cleaned up behind themselves. I would highly recommend these young men. I look forward in sending more handy man jobs their direction."

"We recently finished a project with Loveshade LLC Painting. The level of service is top notch. Meir and his crew not only helped us with painting, but a whole makeover for our AirBnB rental. He and his crew performed many extras, like helping us get a TV mounted on the wall with a swing mount, and refinishing our furniture. Right from the start, he identified areas that needed to be fixed, and gave us a quote with a good price that he stood behind. Being out of town owners, Meir would video chat with us to show progress. My brother lives in the area and stopped by to check on progress, everything is as he promised. We are so happy we have found a business we can trust and look forward to using Meir and his crew again for the future maintenance and upkeep of our apartment. We would suggest Loveshade to anyone."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Whitewashing isn’t permanent, but it can last for a long, long time. When you apply it correctly or have a seasoned pro whitewash your brick, whitewashing can last for 20 to 30 years or longer. Whitewash is very durable and typically requires little maintenance, making it a great project for most DIYers.

Painted decks typically require a new coat about once every ten years. In between new coats, it's best to maintain your deck by regularly removing debris, washing it down with non-abrasive cleaners, and staying ahead of structural issues, such as loose boards and rotting wood. In some cases, painting a small section of your deck affected by damage or the sun can lower your costs and workload.

DIY staining or painting is manageable with proper preparation, including safety measures, necessary tools, and adherence to safe weather conditions for application.

Satin paint is generally considered a better choice for woodwork—including trim, baseboards, cabinets, and doors—than flatter finishes like eggshell or matte. Its soft sheen enhances architectural details and stands up well to frequent cleaning and daily wear. Compared to eggshell and matte finishes, satin is more durable for high-touch areas because it is less porous and doesn't absorb dirt as easily. Matte finishes, in particular, are prone to scuffs and are harder to clean, making them less practical for surfaces like doors and cabinets.

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.
