"Mr. Morelos came out to my home the very next day after communicating with me on Angi. I explained that I was interested in having my metal barn painted white, with black roof, black shutters, and black gutters. I also told him I wanted my new brick entrance with call box, and mailbox painted as well. To complicate things, I told him I wanted to see if it was possible to have it painted before the weekend. Mind you this conversation was taking place on Wednesday. I told him I knew this was a long shot request and would understand if it wasn't possible. Mr. Morelos told me he wanted the job, would move some things around, negotiated a price with me that was very fair, and told me he would send a guy to pressure wash the building the very same day. Everything that Mr. Morelos told me would happen, happened. A guy came and pressure washed the entire barn, roof as well. He and a crew came the next morning at 6am and spent 12 hours working in the hot sun to complete the job. My wife and I are absolutely blown away at the quality of work, and high standard upheld by Mr. Morelos and his entire crew. My wife told me she just wished we had found him sooner. I would highly recommend Morelos Painting. If you are looking for an ethical, hard working, talented, and polite painter, this is your company."

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. 

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.

You should seal your deck every one to two years, but you’ll also need to clean and repair your wood deck throughout the seasons. You may want to hire a local house cleaning service to sweep and clean the deck thoroughly. These cleaning services cost around $50 per hour.

Inspect your deck at least once a year, and if you notice any damage or rot, expect to spend about $10 to $50 for simple DIY fixes or about $2,000 for professional repairs on more extensive damage.

It’s best to use an exterior latex acrylic paint to promote maximum adhesion to composite decking. This flexible paint type can better cope with the natural expansion and contraction that can occur with composite deck boards. Oil-based paints won’t adhere as effectively and are more likely to crack and peel as the boards flex. Testing whether your chosen paint will stick on an inconspicuous section or a spare board is a good idea.

If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood’s grain for best results.
