"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."

"The first thing you will notice is that Jimmy and the Fresh Coat team will arrive on time. In our case they were early and sat in the driveway waiting for the appointed time. Jimmy walked through the job with, Olden, the team leader explaining what was to be accomplished. The team the immediately started working. All of the exterior paint and the concrete was power washed to remove any oxidized paint, dirt, and whatever else had accumulated over the years.
Next the concrete was acid washed, rinsed, and left to dry with the assistance of some fans.
While the concrete dried the team did divide and conquer to get the areas that were to be painted done Olden, the most experienced team member and team lead focused on the entry way door, the trim, and the front shutters.
When the paint was complete and the concrete dried 2 coats of stain were applied to the cleaned concrete.
They worked hard until 11:30 broke for an hourish lunch and then completed everything by mid-afternoon.
It all looks great.
Jimmy and the Fresh Coat team will be returning in April to paint 2 interior bedrooms & closets and the front bathroom.
I can't wait to see this finished. The results will be amazing. There is nothing better than the look of a project completed by professionals.
Thanks Fresh Cost

Deck Staining questions, 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. 

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.

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.

Whether you can paint over your existing paint depends on what’s on there. Most of the time, you’ll want to sand down or scrape off the paint that’s currently coating your surface. Epoxy paint, for example, won’t let new paint stick to the surface. Latex paint is more forgiving and will accept a new coat, but a primer is recommended if you’re switching colors.

Beyond liquid rubber, homeowners can use sealants, stains, membranes, or tapes as waterproofing options. Oil-based or water-based sealants soak into the wood, creating a moisture-resistant barrier. Waterproofing stains—available in transparent, semi-transparent, and solid colors—add both protection and style to your deck. For heavy-duty waterproofing, deck membranes and waterproof tapes can be applied under the deck boards to direct water away from the structure below. Whatever method you choose, clean and prep the deck first to ensure the best, longest-lasting results.
