"It was a positive experience from beginning to end. The team was professional, price was reasonable, preparation to protect floors and existing trim was thorough, work was clean, and project finished on time. I showed Taylor the rooms. He asked pertinent questions to make sure that he knew what I wanted for a solid bid. Their quote was better than 3 others. I work from home and the painting crew was respectful of my time and kept the commotion around me to a minimum, especially while I was on conference calls. Furthermore, I am picky and pay attention to detail. The PM, Stetson, listened to my concerns and he and the painter, Josh, addressed them immediately. I recommend State 28 and I will use them again. I've already requested another quote."

"Kenneth was my second estimate. His estimate was $275 and my first one was $2200 to paint a den and small kitchen! I could tell he knew what he was talking about, as he has been painting for over 20 years. He uses Porter Paint. Not only did he and his son do a wonderful job painting, but everything was moved back in place and the pictures were hung back on the walls. I subsequently brought him back to paint more rooms, and will continue until our whole house is painted! I also have referred him to several friends who have used him and have been equally satisfied with both the quality and extremely reasonable prices!! I cannot say enough good things about him! You will not be disappointed!"

"I got three quotes for the paint job. Two were given over the phone: but Dennis Phillips of Progressive Painting cam over in person. In meeting him: I found him to be very professional and easy to work with. He made suggestions that made a better finished product. His quote was the lowest of the three and engaged him to do the job. It rained off and on for a week and we worked closely to make sure we had the best conditions for painting. He used top of the line equipment and his years of experience showed in his painting. I recommend Dennis Phillips for any painting job you may have. I am going to use Dennis Phillips on our house interior painting. Bruce Patchin"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

You’ll need to wait until the surface is completely dry, which can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours under optimal conditions. The waiting period depends on several factors, including the type of siding and the weather conditions. Trying to paint before the surface is completely dry can trap moisture under the paint, leading to bubbling, blistering, and mold growth.

Beyond liquid rubber, homeowners can use sealants, stains, membranes, or tapes as waterproofing options. Oil-based or water-based sealants soak into the wood, creating a moisture-resistant barrier. Waterproofing stains—available in transparent, semi-transparent, and solid colors—add both protection and style to your deck. For heavy-duty waterproofing, deck membranes and waterproof tapes can be applied under the deck boards to direct water away from the structure below. Whatever method you choose, clean and prep the deck first to ensure the best, longest-lasting results.

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must. 

Yes, you must thoroughly clean your deck before staining. If you don't, dirt, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped between the wood and the new stain. This not only looks unsightly but also prevents the stain from penetrating the wood properly, reducing its ability to protect the deck from weather and UV rays. As a result, the stain won't last as long or look as good. Any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage. Always wait at least 48 hours after cleaning for the wood to dry completely before applying stain.

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.
