"After initially interviewing Caridi Painting and Finishing, I felt that the two partners were very knowledgeable and experienced in painting a 6' fence of which 60' was installed 3 1/2 months ago and another 40' that was installed 6 years ago. The HOA that I belong to, requires a specific "paint" which really turned out to be a stain, that had to be used. Even before I informed Caridi partners what was required they indicated that a stain would be best, that it would require 2 coats, and a couple of specific items, such as what would be sprayed and what would be painted with a brush. Due to the "good" weather (no painting/staining within 2/3 days of rain), they showed up on time, immediately put cardboard under the fence where there was grass, taped what was metal (the latch) and proceeded to "paint." Overall, the job was done professionally and I would rate Caridi a 10 (on a scale of 10)."

"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."

"John was very easy to work with and communicated well. We wanted a particular cleaning products used and he used them.  It was easy to schedule the work and they came/left when they said that they would.   The decks were all painted with rollers and brushes.  The underside of the decks were sprayed - all techniques were done with care and everything was cleaned up when they left.  They protected everything that wasn't supposed to be painted.  We were happy with the entire process and it looks beautiful.  I would not hesitate to do business with them again.

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

When applying multiple coats, wait four to six hours for each coat to dry. Not waiting long enough can result in streaks, peeling, and uneven color. Plus, it will be more difficult to discern where the second coat has already been applied.

Wood stain is not flammable after it dries. The solvent in wood stain is what causes the liquid form to be highly flammable, but the stain drying process involves the solvents dissolving, which leaves behind a non-flammable product on your wood project. Wood stain is, however, flammable before you apply it, so you should always store partially full cans and used wood stain rags away from sources of heat and open flames.

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

Yes, professionals offer slip-resistant options for added workplace safety.

Yes, it is generally a very good idea to seal your deck after pressure washing. Power washing removes not only dirt and debris but also a thin layer of wood, leaving the surface exposed and more susceptible to weathering. Sealing is almost always needed after this process. After a general cleaning, sealing isn't automatically necessary if the existing sealant is still intact. You can test the surface by placing a few drops of water on it. If the water beads up, the sealant is working. If it soaks into the wood, it's time to apply a new sealant. If it has been a few years, it's wise to remove the old sealant, wash the deck, and reseal for maximum protection.
