"Jonah and the rest of the team at Pathway Home Painting and Improvements really knocked it out of the park on a project for me. Jonah came out to my home and really spent the time going over what I wanted done and made great recommendations on what to do as well as color and finish suggestions as well. We were super happy with the time he spent with us before the project and that made the whole job run super smoothly. When everything was painted Jonah came in and walked the entire project with us again to make sure that we were absolutely satisfied with the work that him and his team did. I have a very good eye for detail and can usually find a missed spot or two by contractors and I am proud to say that there was not a single spot that I could find that was not 100% perfect and believe me I tried. I am super glad that we chose a quality contractor at a fair price. I am itching for them to come out and stain my fence and pergola next."

"I would highly recommend Faustino and his team! Their attention to detail and quality of work was beyond what we hoped for. He treated our property with great care and made sure every detail was addressed. He even fixed problems beyond his assigned work. His team was fast, precise and neat. His prices were reasonable and they used the highest quality paints."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Deciding whether to stain or paint a pool deck depends on your budget, desired look, and the deck's material. Both options can work. Paint offers a wider variety of color options, provides excellent water resistance, and can last longer. However, it requires a primer and can eventually fade or peel. Stain is often cheaper, easier to apply, and penetrates the wood for a more natural look and longer-lasting finish. It also has great water resistance. The downsides are fewer color options and the need for a sealant. The choice can also depend on the deck material; for example, staining may be a better option for concrete as it bonds well and lasts longer than paint.

A five-gallon bucket of deck stain will cover roughly 875 square feet in a single coat. Actual coverage will vary based on the type of wood you’re staining and the number of coats. If you plan on doing multiple coats, multiply the square footage by the number of coats to calculate how many buckets of stain you’ll need.

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.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.

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.
