"CAE replaced exterior cedar siding and painted. I have used multiple contractors and remodeling pros over the last 10 years, and CAE topped them all. The prices are fair and the work was top quality. They were courteous, professional, and always on time every morning. They didn't try and increase the price after the initial quote even though they performed work outside of the agreement. They cleaned up after themselves each day and even pressure washed the driveway after the project was complete. Terrific experience!"

"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!"

"They did a wonderful job painting and replacing wood on the house. Worked with the gutter people to get the project done. Kept me informed each day on what was to be done. Pressure washed the house to see what needed to be replaced. I would recommend them highly. The team was very polite, knew what needed to be done and cleaned up when done."

"My husband and I just recently purchased a home and wanted to add our touches. We hired Alex to paint the house and paint the kitchen and bathroom cabinets. Alex did an excellent job. The cabinets came out beautiful and the paint job on the house was great. He made sure that my floors and counters were protected. He was able to finish the job within the given time frame as well. I will definitely hire Alex again for future projects!"

"So pleased with the whole experience. I was moving in to a "new" house which was decorated in colors not of my taste. I found Riggins Painting on Angie's List and hired them. The reviews were correct. These guys were great. Austin came out to walk the house with me and the painters started a couple of days later. There was a little hitch on the first day but the crew worked through the weekend to make sure that my finish deadline was met. They were so accommodating with a special request that I had and when it turned out that there was additional unplanned work to do and when I decided on the last day that I hated the bathroom color and asked them to redo it in another color. The crew was great. So polite, so easy to work with. I will definitely use them again when I do the rest of the house."

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

Eggshell and satin finishes are best for porches because they sit in the sweet spot between scuffable matte and distracting high gloss. Your porch sees a fair amount of wear and tear, so you don’t want paint that’ll show every mark like matte, but you don’t want to be blinded by glossy paint in the sun either. Eggshell and satin have durability and a look that sits nicely in the middle.

Painted decks typically require a new coat about once every ten years. In between new coats, it's best to maintain your deck by regularly removing debris, washing it down with non-abrasive cleaners, and staying ahead of structural issues, such as loose boards and rotting wood. In some cases, painting a small section of your deck affected by damage or the sun can lower your costs and workload.

There are deck restoration products and oil-based wood stains that can help bring back some of the color and shine to your faded Trex decking. However, if your boards are suffering from serious fading due to UV rays or chemical cleaning products, don’t expect miracles. Also, these products are only suitable for use on the older Trex boards, not the capped, second-generation Trex products.
