"The detail to work is very professional. The owner and his crew are very polite as well as professional. They came in, cleaned and caulked everything first. Painted all of my windows, front and back porches, garage entry door and it all looks great. They also sanded to the bare wood my front door before staining and clear coating. They left everything very clean. The prices are very reasonable and the work is top quality. I would definitely recommend."

"I am so happy to know that there are still businesses who actually act professional in Gastonia. I own a rental property and had some cracks in the the walls that needed repairs. I called Wes, who owns the company. Wes was very attentive to my needs and answered all of the questions I had. He scheduled to meet me at the rental property the very next day and he showed up on time. Wes took his time to measure what I needed done and explain things so that I could understand and walked the entire perimeter of the house to explain what his services would be. I had them prep and paint the deck and foundation outside. Straight Edge also painted the entire inside of the property. Wes was in constant communication with me me throughout the process and made sure that I was informed of what was going on. His quote was better than his competitors and the quality of work was awesome. As a rental proprerty owner I deal with a lot of individuals in the service industry and Straight Edge has really proven that professionalism still exists. Quality work without breaking the bank! I would recommend to everyone."

"The contracting process with SouthEnd Painting was seamless. The sales team and front office were very responsive to all of my questions and especially patient with my (several) last minute changes. They have even helped with providing the colors used several months later, so I could mange some touch-ups required due to light fixture changes - super helpful :) I was happy with the look of the home and have received several compliments on the work. I have already recommended SouthEnd Painting to friends and will use them again in the future."

"Re-stained our deck and did drywall repair in our garage. Their work quality and promptness was beyond what we could have hoped for. The drywall was about 100 square feet and we can't tell anything was done, it blends in so well. Highly recommend them and will use again when the need arises. Extremely clean."

"The carpentry work was excellent. If I didn't know what had been replaced, I would never have noticed the difference between the old and new siding. The crew found two additional areas of rot that their sales representative had not found. The crew pointed out the areas before replacing them and gave me a great price for the additional work since they didn't find it in their initial inspection. I had some touch ups after the initial inspection and they took care of all of them the very next day. I would highly recommend Advance Painting to anyone."

"I was very impressed with the 2 guys that came out to do the job. They were very knowledgeable when I went over the scope of each project before they started the job. The replacement of the rotten wood around the window came out better than I would have thought and they replaced it with a vinyl type material that won't rot. They were very thorough in getting the job done and they cleaned up each work space when completed. Although my projects were relatively small I thought the price was fair and the quality of work was good."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

The plastic in composite decking boards protects them enough that you do not need to paint them to prevent warping. In fact, painting composite decking voids the warranty of some manufacturers. Painting can also increase maintenance on the deck, as you must paint regularly to keep it looking its best.

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.

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

Always sand a deck before repainting so the wood is smooth and ready for paint. While you do not need to fully remove paint before repainting, sanding helps remove any areas with weather and sun damage. Sanding also helps remove chipped or flaking paint and opens the wood pores to improve paint adhesion.
