"Daniel and his team are professional and prompt. They did a great job and cleaned up and left everything better than they found it. They stained my deck and replaced one of the warped boards with a new board. They did a great job! Would definitely hire them again without hesitation!!"

"Jordan and his crew, from the original quote to clean up, were top-notch. Whether it was him, Donnie or John, I could count on them being ready to work exactly when they promised, and the quality of the work never waivered. All three were courteous, helpful and efficient, and their work was fantastic! I would recommend Perfection Painting for any job, large or small."

"This was the second time we have used John's Custom House Painting for a painting project and the second time we were very pleased with John's work. He arrived at his stated time and did an excellent job painting our ceiling. The ceiling is 9 1/2 feet high and is covered in 1 foot square celotex instead of sheetrock which means lots of grooves and edges to paint. There was one large and a smaller water stain from leaks in the roofing. John was able to completely cover these and the ceiling looks great! John was very careful to cover the floor and furniture and did not get paint on anything. I appreciate his talent and professionalism. Would hire him again for more painting projects in the future.

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.

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.

You’ll need to wait until the surface is completely dry, which can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours under optimal conditions. The waiting period depends on several factors, including the type of siding and the weather conditions. Trying to paint before the surface is completely dry can trap moisture under the paint, leading to bubbling, blistering, and mold growth.

Exterior paints contain more volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, making them dangerous when used indoors. Without the free ventilation of the great outdoors, it can take longer for the fumes to dissipate than interior paint. While you may notice the smell lessening more quickly, you should be wary of paint fumes inside for 48 to 72 hours after it dries.

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.
