"Great! They were here on time and working every minute. They were witty, courteous, helpful and fast. They weren' the cheapest estimate but I was impressed with Kenneth when he came to do the estimate. It didn't take me long to see I made the right choice. The only thing we did was empty the closets. They were done in 2.5 days with 1800 sq ft of painting. If you want it done right, no mess, no mov ing furniture then call KG Painting! You will be pleasantly surprised!"

"This is an absolutely wonderful company, that I would highly recommend to anybody. I had power washing done, exterior painting and repairing and staining of my deck. Throughout the whole process (coming to see what the work is, creating a quote, answering my questions to the quote, scheduling the work, performance of work, clean up) the company was reliable, held to the schedule they had proposed, were always on time. The work crew was highly knowledgeable, friendly, respectful, open to answer any of my many questions. The quality of the work is impeccable. At the end Sharon came to my house to check the quality of the work herself. With regards to price they were right within two other comparable quotes I got for the same work. I will definitively hire them again."

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.

Choosing the right product involves understanding deck material, desired finish, and local weather conditions. Opt for high-quality, weatherproof formulations ensuring long-term durability and appearance retention.

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

The best paint for an older deck depends on the material and whether or not your deck already has a coat of paint. Generally, if your deck already has paint on it, you should choose the same type of paint when repainting the deck. For example, if an old deck has oil-based paint on it, stick with oil; if your deck has water-based paint, choose water-based paint.
