"Outstanding professionalism and communication with an amazing attention to detail. We are thrilled with our decision to use CAE Home Improvement for exterior carpentry repairs to our home and a full exterior paint job. The process was seamless from the initial consultation to the finished product. There was communication and information available every step of the way, especially when some bad weather pushed back our project schedule. They worked on Saturday and the holiday to get our project done ASAP within their original timeline. Juan and his crew were super friendly, they cleaned up after work each day and left our home looking beautiful at the end of the week! We'll definitely be reaching out to CAE Home Improvement in the future for other projects around our home."

"Everything was pressure washed and examined before any work started. All of the wood repairs were done and then painting began. Two men were assigned to our job but on some days only one worked (Daniel, and he was EXCELLENT). We had a delay to our start date due to weather, and another weather delay in the middle of the job, but Daniel did a great job of keeping in touch and keeping me informed about when he would and would not be here and what he could and could not do each day. Trash and debris were cleaned up every day before they left, and when the job was complete there was no sign they'd been here other than a freshly repaired & painted house! Daniel did excellent work and made sure I was satisfied with everything done during each step of the process. Adam, the main contact at CertaPro and the one who did my estimate, is very friendly and professional. I enjoyed meeting him and discussing our project needs with him. He was very cooperative and helpful and made adjustments to our proposal as needed when I had questions or needed to make a change. Email response time was sometimes painfully slow, but overall the whole experience was straightforward and without complications. There was one small communication issue regarding our project start date (delayed because of weather but not communicated to me until 10pm the night before when I asked an unrelated question) but it was the only hiccup in the process and everything went smoothly after that. All work was done according to the estimate and our discussions and there were no surprises or extra charges along the way. I especially liked that I didn't have to pay them ANY money until the job was complete and I signed off on it. Our house and fence are now in great shape and look beautiful and I'm VERY pleased. I would hire them again and will recommend them to anyone I know who needs this type of work done."

"Painter1 did a fantastic job with our house. Kevin sent us a quote the same day he came out to visit and take a look. Very easy to work with. Hardest part of the job was deciding which color to paint the house! They showed up on a Wednesday to prep the house and were done Friday evening. Great attention to detail; no touch ups were needed and I didn?t notice any overspray anywhere. I couldn?t recommend them enough!"

"The entire exterior of my house was painted. This job took 5 days. The prep work done before the actual painting was really impressive. The crew was always on time and in constant communication. They were very courteous. More importantly, they were very thorough. This job was quite expensive, but was done in a very professional manner. If you are looking for a cheap paint job, this is not the company for you. If you want a professional and well done job, I highly recommend this company."

"I couldn't be more pleased with the work done by Hondupaint! Alex is a delight, vastly knowledgeable, and a true "go-getter" which is a rare find in this day and age. His employees are lovely and professional. They arrive on-time or early and get straight to work--and their work is extraordinary. I look forward to using Hondupaint for future projects and recommend them to anyone. DIY painting is tedious, messy, and exhausting. Do yourself a favor and let Hondupaint take care of your home improvement projects for you."

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

The best time to paint your deck is when temperatures are neither too cold (below 60 degrees) nor too hot (above 85 degrees). Always paint your deck when there’s no risk of rain. For fast-drying paint like acrylic or latex, ensure your deck can dry for at least four hours. Oil-based paints take longer to dry and may require 48 hours to completely cure.

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.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.

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.
