"We are really pleased with the results of this project. Originally thought I would take on this work but quickly found that it was beyond my skills. After searching for local services, Meticulous seemed like the best way to go. Thomas came out to see what was needed and gave a quote. It seemed a little more than what I was expecting but I would not hesitate to enlist them again for any future painting projects. Well worth it."

"I would highly recommend this business.  We had them come and restain the deck and at first just powerwash the house.  They scheduled the work right away.  After doing the pressure washing, there were some areas with paint chips under the soffit.  Mike offered to repaint those for free.  During this, they noticed areas of the soffit that were rotten, so we had them repair those areas of the wood.  They also fixed a few screens that were damaged during the pressure washing for free.  
Everything turned out great, and we are very happy we had this work done.  Mike and Crystal are very professional and easy to work with.  I will be having them do some more work on our house in the near future.

"We had some porch / hand rails that were in need of painting and repair. Anthony and Brandon came through, again! This is the second time in less than a month, that I hired these two young men. They repaired my railings, cleaned them and painted them. They did a fabulous job. I said in a previous review, that I would hire them again. They listen to the project, gave a fair price and arrived on time and completed the work. They clean up behind themselves. Highly recommend giving these guys an opportunity."

"We recently finished a project with Loveshade LLC Painting. The level of service is top notch. Meir and his crew not only helped us with painting, but a whole makeover for our AirBnB rental. He and his crew performed many extras, like helping us get a TV mounted on the wall with a swing mount, and refinishing our furniture. Right from the start, he identified areas that needed to be fixed, and gave us a quote with a good price that he stood behind. Being out of town owners, Meir would video chat with us to show progress. My brother lives in the area and stopped by to check on progress, everything is as he promised. We are so happy we have found a business we can trust and look forward to using Meir and his crew again for the future maintenance and upkeep of our apartment. We would suggest Loveshade to anyone."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

Yes, staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan, typically by five to 10 years. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and rot over time. Applying a treatment creates a protective shield that helps prevent splintering, fading, and decay, preserving the wood's strength and appearance. A combination stain and sealer often provides the best protection, as it soaks into the wood grain rather than just sitting on top. This offers superior defense against UV damage and rot and lasts longer than a sealer alone. To maintain the wood's natural look, consider using a near-translucent stain. You should plan to reapply the stain or sealer every two to three years.

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.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.

Painted decks typically require a new coat about once every ten years. In between new coats, it's best to maintain your deck by regularly removing debris, washing it down with non-abrasive cleaners, and staying ahead of structural issues, such as loose boards and rotting wood. In some cases, painting a small section of your deck affected by damage or the sun can lower your costs and workload.
