"It's October 18 and the painting is done. Our house is transformed. In what must have been one of the worst years for exterior home projects, we got a late start on asking for bids and getting responses. Grayson had painted our deck and porch during one of the few good weather spells earlier in the season. We were very happy with his work, but when we asked about the whole house job, he thought his calendar was too full to take it on. He reconsidered, and worked up another bid which like the porch job bid, was in concise and complete written form, including a description of the prep and some restoration work. He listened to what we wanted for the color change, and came up with precisely the right color recommendation. The job was held up for a number of weeks due to factors none of us could control (weather, family matters, etc). Grayson got a crew together and started the painting in early October. Grayson personally got the job going, and then oversaw all stages of the painting which was largely completed by crew member, Michael, who diligently kept at the job in spite of the uncooperative weather. We are very pleased with the quality of work, and the dedication and integrity shown by Grayson and Michael."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage. 

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. 

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. 

Satin paint is generally considered a better choice for woodwork—including trim, baseboards, cabinets, and doors—than flatter finishes like eggshell or matte. Its soft sheen enhances architectural details and stands up well to frequent cleaning and daily wear. Compared to eggshell and matte finishes, satin is more durable for high-touch areas because it is less porous and doesn't absorb dirt as easily. Matte finishes, in particular, are prone to scuffs and are harder to clean, making them less practical for surfaces like doors and cabinets.

Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years.
