"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

You’ll want to avoid excessively hot or humid conditions, so it’s best to apply your stain in late spring to early fall. It's also important to watch the weather forecast and aim for days when there isn’t rain expected for at least three days. For new decks, allow the wood to season beforehand for at least four to eight weeks.

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. 

While the answer varies based on weather, 10 a.m. is a good time to start painting. The dew will have dried, meaning there’s no moisture on the house, and the temperature will likely be moderate and the sunlight less direct. Starting mid-morning should also give you enough daylight and pleasant weather to work on the job for several hours.

Yes, many repair services include repainting to match the color of the existing siding or walls. Most professionals offer this service to ensure the repaired area blends in seamlessly.
